We Love Katamari 「Angel Rain」

[@fishsquire]

Unbelievable blend of bossa, french folk, vocal pop, and nu-jazz.

[@TytoAlpha]

and 4x4 uk garage

[@ascan1363]

It’s really the whole package

[@jepadee.aka.99soju]

@Floyd '8 cough cough cafe

[@cooldebt]

@Floyd '8 Very Piazzolla-like indeed

[@liljainanna]

The wonders of shibuya kei

[@nebuluos2032]

Years ago I was dozing off as my nephew and niece played this insane game but when this song came on it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard from a video game at the time and that awakened me.

[@NanoCharat]

This song is... sitting alone on a hill overlooking a busy city at night. It's early summer, and the fireflies have just come out.

[@nebuluos2032]

A shooting star silently streaks down just out of the corner of your eye and you notice it just in time before it disappears into oblivion..like a last knowing wink at you, it's only witness forever.

[@TommyLuv]

Yup! The Feels!

[@etheygum1073]

And some kid starts complaining about the dark and how it’s to dark to study…

[@vital2774]

and dipp dancing

[@serenegenerally]

Well, it is played during the fireflies level

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

You should check out the bands Mellow, Pizzicato Five, Air, and Nouvelle Vague if you dig this sound.

[@michaeloconnor9581]

Thank you

[@voyan38]

Lamp and FPM too

[@rj_hooks]

BET

[@warningdontread5478]

Cymbals too, especially "Endless, endless." from the album sine

[@kap1117]

also check out Free Tempo

[@ColevLost]

When you're at 4:14 and your katamari isn't even "very bright", yet. ROLL, PRINCE, ROLL!

[@0birthya972]

everyday with rain ,, sweats, ,, i always thought it was saying "everyday we play"

[@bethmoth22]

I love how this song is very soft and scerene up until at around 4:13 then one simple beat really ups the overall vibe. It's so great

[@banjogyro]

I love how the beat is so late into the song so you get caught offguard everytime and just happy it happened

[@glasschu213]

All time favorite katamari song. Makes me think of fireflies and candlelight dinners. :)

[@Rexdino12321]

these are one of my favorite songs in the series too!

[@TheNoirAlien]

glasschu213 This is on my playlist.

[@toooydoeur]

Lonely rolling star

[@amirakitty]

Man this songs makes me want to sit outside at a café while it gentle rains over the streets of Paris and people hustle and bustle by to get shelter.

[@TheNoirAlien]

Done it.

[@kureshu1327]

As someone living in Paris, I'm so happy to be able to experience that

[@eltiolavara9]

and then they charge you like 10 euros for a cup

[@theedwardian]

Paris is no longer Paris. French culture lives on only in the imaginations of Japan, the south islands of Korea, and to a lesser extent, Italy.

[@PeachyKitsune]

Everytime i hear this song it makes me terribly love sick. I hope someone else has the same feels as me.

[@Astrodisiac]

OMG, me too! Even though im always single

[@Dogan_TM]

I just think it sounds nice ._.

[@Astrodisiac]

Cae Rule Oh my galaxy, thats HORRIBLE! But it helps appreciate the song much more. i can easily see this.

[@Glace1221]

Cae Rule Jesus, right in the feels.

[@AdiCool88]

Neku Sakuraba I feel your feels, my feeling friend.

[@MechakittenX]

I played this song on my car stereo the other day and the Bassline popped out making this song even more awesome! If you haven't heard the bass line in this song yet I highly recommend it!!

[@Angelrain890]

This song is where I got my user name from

[@idiot5089]

I didn't!

[@Spaghetti_unfunny]

I recently bought We Love Katamari Reroll and this song has been playing a lot in the levels I've been completing and it's one of my favorites out of the soundtrack so far. Gotta be one of my favorite game series with amazing soundtracks

[@10N-t5b]

im a huge fan of an anime called angel beats. in it there's a song called, well. rain song. that's the name exactly. i love it. i made a typo and stumbled upon this. and i am now in LOVE.

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

I used to play the firefly level over and over again just to hear this amazing song. The first two Katamari's have some of the best J-Pop music ever.

[@chiigirl93]

i love the memories that come with this song. me and my best friend used to play this level over and over trying to work the two player mode, yelling at each other. they were the best moments of my childhood.

[@Airship86]

Well over a decade later, I realized that the singer in one of my favorite songs in one of my favorite games ever is YOU, who is also one of my favorite commentators in one of my favorite TV shows, Terrace House. Small world, eh?

[@GoGoSuperB]

I'm just now realizing that too!! I knew her from Gottsu Ee Kanji, a Japanese variety show and Terrace House as well!

[@HeruruMeruru]

I hate how the level always ends before the song starts getting fast paced.

[@hiimemily]

The song was already a masterpiece, and then the percussion kicks in to put it over the top. To this day, still the best song in the Katamari series, and that's really saying something.

[@arizona8228]

this makes me feel very happy, nostalgic, and sad at the same time

[@RicksterLPs]

The fact you hear this at the first stage of the game really sets you up on how amazing this games music is. It got me hooked instantly when I first played We Love Katamari ^.^

[@trashgoon]

4:14 switch up to UK garage absolutely eats

[@pkm54]

when i hear this song i am in paris or italy or perhaps on a boat

[@mwkmn]

Still just as smooth as the first time I heard it

[@thatcrazylove2009]

this song is one one the best songs ive ever heard in my 22 years of life🙂

[@MegaTheman25]

Just got done beating this level for the first time ever. So beautiful man...

[@Glace1221]

That's some really beautiful Engrish. Too beautiful.

[@scarfycoolcat]

Freddy haha!

[@jaomello]

Dude, awesome pic, insane quality. Thx for the post

[@Servbot42]

I played this song once with a woman I was deeply in love with. Hearing it only makes me sad now.

[@PeaShooter89]

I love Katamaris version of this freaked me out so much as a kid

[@TDashLIVE]

4:44 I recognized this drum sample from Mario Kart Wii when you'd wait for an online race to end

[@clrndalvare]

It's raining right now, this is perfect.

[@lyleabner2475]

This song make me cry for some reason

[@pockypocky6000]

This is my favorite song on We Love Katamari. :D

[@rj_hooks]

I remember playing this level over and OVER just to hear this song :')

[@Kaoren717]

We are lonely that is why loving, tsuki no hikari.....abite.... 3:02 I love this part, with the violin, accordian/bandoneon, ahh...so smooth....

[@stuv1996]

Goosebumps every time

[@irasavage1162]

Shout outs to the accordion player!! He nuked off on the second half of the song.

[@Tigerman9001]

I discovered this only 5 minutes ago. It's my new favorite soundtrack. Thanks!

[@massmentalpollution]

thanks for uploading this ost i couldnt find it anywhere else

[@gooman989898]

an extremely good blend of different music genres. uplifting and relaxing simultaneously.... 5 stars -the gooman review

[@banjogyro]

Thank you gooman

[@mayeyo185]

Thank you gooman

[@Heroshii15]

It's really romantic at the begginning and then get's more up-beat later ramdomly, I guess it's to be expected in katamari

[@stereo-soulsoundsystem5070]

"Every day we play, I'm not a doll..." goes irresponsibly hard for goofy big rolley ball game lmfao

[@danielanaimor]

One of the best musics ever!! :D

[@alvinedgardtoding572]

this song is now more than 12 years old. i feel ridiculously old now

[@mecasunny]

It's so beautiful!!

[@Kirbychu1]

This song feels very different when you're single.

[@theedwardian]

I love how this song amps up after the 4 minute mark

[@Lunastar2005]

Wow just realized the Artist that sings this song is in that Japanese movie Nobody Knows. She played the mother who abandons her children.

[@franciscobarril]

i want to hear this with a sound system with extra bass

[@bethmoth22]

I did that the other day, highly recommend!

[@Miabia1000]

Love iz in ze air~! I can just here france's voice.

[@nicksbrown1994]

I love this song so much I want this in my wedding

[@obw1r3d]

[@lafcursiax]

I actually danced to this at my wedding

[@SaeItoshi-rs9ml]

This is my fave katamari song very nostalgic😢the last time I played this game was 2016,also this song was posted on my birth date aug25 2009 Lol

[@snowlover9]

Listening to this while raining is soothing....sorta xD

[@cloud7fr]

If you like this, check out Yuu Miyake. He is the composer, also worked for ridge racer, tekken.

[@wa7saka]

Absolutely beautiful

[@Loyyid]

1:12 I love the part when she says "I'm not a donkey", best part

[@Chameleam]

Gonna make a journey to find a happiness

[@gofffremon9812]

DAM I FORGOT HOW HARD THIS WAS

[@siIIylittlegoof]

lit work tunes

[@stuv1996]

So much beauty :')

[@alexmark6580]

It turns into a Mario kart Wii type beat after 4 mins

[@TytoAlpha]

i will close my first boiler room set with this track i swear to god

[@yandhi972b]

La cortada más profunda...

[@davidperry4013]

We Love Katamari is the video game that got me into J-Pop.

[@HostClubOtaku94]

Let's go roll up some fireflies!!!! Wooo!

[@Dogan_TM]

Sounds very nice!

[@Kahran042]

I like to do it on the "million roses" mission.

[@KieraCarty]

Want it played at my wedding =3

[@terrenceojeda4790]

4:11 and onward, best part.

[@juanariful]

oooor, you could play the elephant level (19 minutes) and choose this song...

[@snowtenkey118]

im into the song for the discoteque drop xD

[@jamirosat]

me encanta esta canción (buena imagen jiji)

[@darkzzii]

i love this song, i listen to it alot. :/

[@getiatrickpatrick8917]

Matt's Watson work tunes are gud

[@AnimaUSA]

This is like the continuation to "Katamaritano". I may of spelled that wrong.

[@07flaugh]

I agree totally.

[@Skullssy]

Thanks Hazel

[@kap1117]

Damn I wish the beat kicked in a lot earlier or that the song was even longer because its so good from 4:45 onwards (not to say the rest isnt good)

[@banjogyro]

It makes it feel special, it makes you value that moment everytime you listen to the song

[@banjogyro]

I like to imagine that the drum beat in 4:11 is the thumbnail yellow creature beatboxing

[@TheNoirAlien]

4:14......spin around like crazy!

[@kaibomo]

to be honest I think clean bandit was inspired by the 4:44 onward part in ,,rather be''. the beat and the strings remind me of it

[@Clifffields]

*camera cuts to my ass turning up in 8th grade pretending to know the words*🤣🤣🤣No ive always loved this soundtrack❤❤❤❤

[@puddingosu3326]

love this song

[@akasataw]

塊フォーエヴァー　フランス式結婚したのよ

[@MetalGearRaxis]

@VernianProcess Same! :D Loved it ^-^

[@JR-iy6hy]

yesssssssss

[@RoboLANE]

I’m just picturing this song playing while Ozy beats up The Comedian

[@accioclownery]

I found this song in a Paris nail art tutorial by Janelle Estep, and it was without lyrics. Can someone help me to find this version? Thanks 😍😘

[@dippkun]

@VernianProcess omg me too...it was always the most beautiful level and song

[@inlazlowetrust]

That bandoneon player would make Astor Piazzolla proud. The same can't be said for the Engirsh-ridden lyrics, though.

[@digitaldill]

3:40

[@kronzal]

I like'd it!

[@Devilicious.]

4:30 mario star lol

[@tomhollandaise5835]

Im thinking of playing this on melodica

[@PenguGaymer]

Ladies Code - Chaconne sounds like this too

[@realpyuku]

I sampled this song

[@JuicyPlams]
