Review by CrimsonNataku

I bought this for my little sister, who is a big fan of the Tales games. She loved it! Odds are I'll end up getting sick of hearing the soundtrack being played over and over again, but as long as she's happy...

I bought this for my sister, and at first she hated me for convincing her to pay the rather expensive price... But now that she's gotten it, I haven't heard any complaints whatsoever. The case is lovely, and all the bonus songs plus the OSTs of one her favorite video game series in the entire world are excellent. Needless to say, even if she won't admit it, she and I both know it was worth it.

Personally, I thought the production that followed this one was much better on many levels: costumes were more appealing, choreography was better, plot was easier to follow. The music even, in my opinion, was better. However, there is a fairly large dose of good, well-appreciated humor in this one that is missed in Endless Shock. Tsubasa also gets more than one solo scene in Shock, unlike in Endless Shock where he only gets to sing "Watch Me Now." Overall, if you can only buy one of the two, I recommend buying Endless Shock over this one. However, if you can spare the money, I think this version is still worth the purchase!

Music is absolutely fabulous. If you liked either Shock, Koichi, or both, definitely get this CD. You won't regret it.

As much as I love Odagiri Joe for his acting ability, I could not bring myself to really appreciate his solo album. The composition was nothing special, the lyrics were hard to make out, and I didn't like the melody of any of the songs. Out of all the purchases I have made so far through CDJapan, this has been the most disappointing.

Despite its rather high price tag, this was well worth the purchase. The booklet is gorgeous and the case is well put together and sturdy. Koichi Domoto's talent really shines in this CD, I also bought the DVD of his concert; listening and watching both of them is truly an experience. I'm really glad I bought them!

This CD set is really worth the purchase. 39 songs, the majority of which I've really enjoyed. It includes many of Kinki Kids' top singles; Renrui, Ai no Katamari, Ame no Melody, and Garasu no Shounen are just some of them. Not only is the music and price great, but also the case is high quality. Highly recommended!
