(Pinky's song, "I Know", had no chance from the get-go.) Summary Something they should have doen to Strike's song. By mixing up various little elements here and there, they were able to stretch it out for such a long time without boring us. This is the end boss music, and it didn't do it for me while I was playing the game but got better after I heard the original version. Usually these type of songs tend to suck royally. "Fly Into Your Soul" is a song that should be bad, but isn't even though it's a 5+ minute song. The lyrics are pretty bad and the singing, while realizing the lady can sing, just seems too overbearing for my senses. I wished this song was more of that song than what it turned out to be as the beat was quickly shaken up and changed around to make room for the mess that I Know is. The opening rap may sound familiar because they used a snippet from Dance Dance Revolution's song "Put Your Faith In Me". And that's a pretty funny and, at the same time, scary thought. The song sounds like Michael Jackson trying to be tough. The rap is repeated over and over again, which tires quickly.
"You Have Power", which is Strike's theme, would be better if it weren't so dang gone long. Of course, there are some pretty bad songs on this set. But then the guy who that starts rapping to her is trying to hook up! So I don't know what to think of this song.

The character, Frida, is a free spirit who respects life and only wants good things to happen to her artwork and the environment. So I really don't know what to think of this song. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find ANY kind of decent translator to translate the Japanese text (on a FAQ for the music, they have the lyrics in Japanese).

It was great in the game and even better on the soundtrack, getting to hear the full version. "Sky, Sea and Rainbow of Dream" or "Sora to Umi to Akai no Yume" is Frida's song. Musically, this is a wonderful techno infused feast, with big sounds and big beats leading it the whole way. The closest one that has a really decent rap is "Chemical Love", though half of the rap is distorted. The raps present in "I Luv Hamburgers" and "2Bad" are pretty good, but of course they're not the best as well. But it makes the whole skit they have even more realistic and funnier at the same time. You gotta be crazy nigga." Unfortunately they edited that last word out of the American version I guess thinking my "kind" would be offended or something. It's supposed to be a black guy talking about how he loves his hamburgers even more than his girl and, at several points, he's talking to his girl, and after he expresses his love for the hamburgers, she says, "Don't you even try to choose a cheeseburger over me.
Since this is the Japanese version I'm reviewing, I'm happy to say that nothing was edited in any of the songs, especially in "I Luv Hamburgers". The little funk guitar solo in the middle of the set is also wonderfully done as the sax (tenor I believe) follows up the set in a natural way. The music on this set is great, as well as the background vocals. But it's so funny, since that's how the John Travolta wannabees tried to be. "Cause I look like a star/ When I'm smoking my cigar./ They wanna be just like me./ It's true, my gold ring is beautiful/ And everyone wants one./ Everyone wants to have my style." You can't get more blatant than that.
"The Natural Playboy" is one of the most blatant songs I've heard in a long while, with the singer bragging about how wonderful he is. Being a kid and the want to do what she wishes. The singer actually sounds like a kid, which is what the song is trying to convey.
The English version is great, but the Japanese version is even better. "Smile, Bon" or "Warrette Pon" (depending on what version you have) is a great song, being Shorty's theme song. The musical ranges are great and wide on this collection, as we have old-school R&B as well as rap, 70's disco inferno type music and, of course, some nice pop coming from Japan. One of the few pioneer music games that was released a little under ten years ago, Bust A Move (or as it's contemporary is called in the United States, Bust A Groove) did exactly what a game in the music genre is suppose to have: Good music.
