rambling about the history, dynamics and beauty of the (early) katamari series AKA the video where I use licensed music 0:00 Intro 1:45 Katamari Damacy 5:34 WLK 10:50 Katamari Music
Katamari taught me how to find joy and playfulness in everyday things. I played the first 2 games, and they helped me a lot when I was going through a really tough time in grad school
Because the original game was an even bigger drug trip with basically the prince knocking people out with their hammer like head and sticking a tiny steering wheel into the human's head to control them
Katamari is one of those series that I only ever hear amazing things about from those who've played them, and I really need to dive into these games myself. The fact that you had to do an entire section on just the music makes me very excited to play them
I already kinda wanted to play katamari because of the music (bossa bias) but this now i'm convinved im gonna go buy it real quick okay update a few days later I got reroll lets gooo
I remember seeing your reaction on a short! Hey man I appreciate YOU for making this video. Katamari, especially the second game, deserves more spotlight, more coverage, more love! We love Katamari reroll is my dream game, my goty 2023, my personal prayers answered tbh. I had the original on ps2 as a kid and was always enamored by it. It's the kind of game I've shared with several friends that they cannot not remember! Love your style in making this video. I really wish I could experience the other games in the franchise more easily. When I played the first game's remake, I was disappointed as the second game truly outshines it in every single regard. So for years I port begged for this. I bought the music dlc and found several more jams that I won't ever forget. Sayonara rolling star is my jam!!! Also you really don't like the ghost stage? I thought it was a really fresh idea but hey to each their own. I can't believe the tire level seems to be impossible to 100% legitimately without the exploit of running into a wall for a few minutes. Anyway, my favorite cousins are Signolo and Foomin and Kinoko. But I love pretty much all of them. Spread the gospel bro! Katamari is amazing. Have a wonderful day!!!🎉🎉
Hey Voyan! I have a suggestion for ya! Could you possibly, maybe, do a video where you rank all the Professor Layton OSTs? Like you did with the K.K Slider songs in Animal Crossing? I'd really love to hear your opinions on the Layton soundtracks!
Bro We Love Katamari went on sale for $10 in the eShop, never played a Katamari game but said why not, AND OOOOHHHHH MYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOSH IT IS FLIPPIN AMAZIN MAN. It is a creative masterpiece. I love it so much. Awesome vid dude also RIP Brckhmptn
this video needs to have the views of your other videos. katamari is love katamari is life. i was wondering what was up when you didn't mention the music in fhe first half. absolute bangers across the board, and yeah, even the later games have great soundtracks. "alien" from touch my katamari could very well be my third favourite song in the series. and yes, i definitely agree ... "houston" is totally the katamari 🐐
yooo! lamp and doopees. have you listened to early KIRINJI stuff? that's defo shibuya-kei (and they did houston when working at NAMCO and a remix after they left for katamari forever.. i think)
Yesssss omg!! I have a few of their songs in my playlist, I do know that Namco had one of the members pre-band do some soundtracks for Klonoa and Pacman stuff.
@@voyan38 I have one myself which is how I know 😉 I ALSO did some searching myself to see if the two breeds are related. I mean same blue eye color and same sable fur patterns amirite? How could they not be!? …damn breeds aren’t related at all 😭
Funnily enough even though the original was made in response to the repetitive and soulless nature of new releases, it’s the only game i’ll never get tired of. I always find myself coming back, to get a taste of this wonderful world and amazing music accompaniment. I think what lends to this is just how unique it really is. I can’t think of a single game that reminds me of Katamari, other than Wattam (which is wonderful in its own way). Whenever I waddle back into “regular” games after my millionth play-through of a Katamari game, I find myself quickly bored as i’ve seen it all before (shooty shoot, jump, hit thing). This shit is just timeless OKAY, I had to get these words out lmao. P.S. I agree, Houston is legitimately the best track on the best version of Katamari ok bye
Hi! I love your videos, but I would like to suggest a title that is more appealing to someone who does not know what katamari is, like me. Just a friendly suggestion that might help to grow your channel, I love your videos!
I tried this game once as a kid and did shit on the first level so logically space dad berated me, took me to the death zone to kill me, and I was so scared I never played it again 😂 something about being killed by him just terrified me back then!
Idk why people poo poo the sequel. It’s so much better in every way than the original. It’s so much fun and adds a lot of interesting levels. The sumo wrestler bon fire and racing tracks were are amazing in their own right. You can play as the cousins you can select stage music etc
It created the character of The King of All Cosmos. It's already done more that what was expected.
I really love the remasters but a brand new katamari game would mean everything
compensating the lack of waste management in your city: The game
I always thought the main character had a cricket mallet for a head.
Katamari taught me how to find joy and playfulness in everyday things. I played the first 2 games, and they helped me a lot when I was going through a really tough time in grad school
I'm glad to point out the elephant in the room, I always ask myself why do they look like that? Every time I see this game.
Because the original game was an even bigger drug trip with basically the prince knocking people out with their hammer like head and sticking a tiny steering wheel into the human's head to control them
This game has been my comfort game for ages. Could replay the levels any day

katamari is a gem musically and artistically I'm happy to see someone appreciates it so much ❤️🗻
IT'S FINALLY HEREEEE!!! I loved your music analysis dude, I'm glad to see someone appreciates the Katamari OST and Lamp as much as I do.
I already kinda wanted to play katamari because of the music (bossa bias) but this now i'm convinved im gonna go buy it real quick

katamari damacy is now on spotify :) awesome video
I'm glad so many people are discovering these games. I've been a fan as long as I can remember.
You nailed everything! I loved katamari for so many of the same reasons and the songs too!
Excellent video! I love Katamari and I thought the point was "ball go brrrr" but learning about the creator has given me a new appreciation for it
why do we have the same exact taste tho
One of the first games I ever played on BS2

Katamari Forever’s version of Houston is amazing. Great video!
weird and wacky games are the best, enjoyed your video!
I been trying to find another game with this nostalgic quirkyness to fill the void haha

heat underrated video
I think the king of cosmos head is the fabric of spacetime or the fabric of reality.
You had me in the first second with Mayumi Kojima
katamari rules ty for sharing this vid
I really really like the opening song used in this video. Is it from a Katamari soundtrack?
Nah, that's the very talented Mayumi Kojima! th-cam.com/video/Co1OexGPzog/w-d-xo.html
@@voyan38 Awesome! Thanks :)

shibuya kei is truly no joke
I'm in tears man what the hell
true honestly
I believe that is a ragdoll cat, my friend 😂
Ok did some googling, you're right. We've never been able to figure it out. Vets told us it was Himalayan. Cat friend told us birman.
