A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.

We Love Katamari (2005)
Bluffing Damacy / Tsuyogari Katamari
Asuka Sakai & Kirinji
Careful, this one can be addictive. Probably the most feel good series I've ever played. There's just something about Katamari's songs that hit the right notes. Happy notes. The lyrics in this are about stopping bad habbits, how he's confident he will be able to do it... but then you remember the title is "Bluffing Damacy".
Can't stop the bad habit of rolling up entire cities. Just like Dad can't stop his drunken star destroying sprees.
SupraDarky be sure to keep an eye on Wattam, the next game from Katamari's creator.
Awesome description! Always keep on rolling.
Shibuya-kei really helped the feel of the Katamari series.
I really would like to try this game because the OST is fantastic and recognizable. I hear a track from this and I'm like it must be Katamari... and I've never played these before.
Seriously, this series just has some of the most cheerful and upbeat tunes. So fantastic to roll up everything in your path of destruction while listening to this!
Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.[1][2] Evolutionary processes give rise to biodiversity at every level of biological organisation, including the levels of species, individual organisms, and molecules.[3] Repeated formation of new species (speciation), change within species (anagenesis), and loss of species (extinction) throughout the evolutionary history of life on Earth are demonstrated by shared sets of morphological and biochemical traits, including shared DNA sequences.[4] These shared traits are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor, and can be used to reconstruct a biological "tree of life" based on evolutionary relationships (phylogenetics), using both existing species and fossils. The fossil record includes a progression from early biogenic graphite,[5] to microbial mat fossils,[6][7][8] to fossilised multicellular organisms. Existing patterns of biodiversity have been shaped both by speciation and by extinction.[9] In the mid-19th century, Charles Darwin formulated the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection, published in his book On the Origin of Species (1859). Evolution by natural selection is a process demonstrated by the observation that more offspring are produced than can possibly survive, along with three facts about populations: 1) traits vary among individuals with respect to morphology, physiology, and behaviour (phenotypic variation), 2) different traits confer different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness), and 3) traits can be passed from generation to generation (heritability of fitness).[10] Thus, in successive generations members of a population are replaced by progeny of parents better adapted to survive and reproduce in the biophysical environment in which natural selection takes place. This teleonomy is the quality whereby the process of natural selection creates and preserves traits that are seemingly fitted for the functional roles they perform.[11] The processes by which the changes occur, from one generation to another, are called evolutionary processes or mechanisms.[12] The four most widely recognised evolutionary processes are natural selection (including sexual selection), genetic drift, mutation and gene migration due to genetic admixture.[12] Natural selection and genetic drift sort variation; mutation and gene migration create variation.[12] Consequences of selection can include meiotic drive[13] (unequal transmission of certain alleles), nonrandom mating[14] and genetic hitchhiking. In the early 20th century the modern evolutionary synthesis integrated classical genetics with Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection through the discipline of population genetics. The importance of natural selection as a cause of evolution was accepted into other branches of biology. Moreover, previously held notions about evolution, such as orthogenesis, evolutionism, and other beliefs about innate "progress" within the largest-scale trends in evolution, became obsolete.[15] Scientists continue to study various aspects of evolutionary biology by forming and testing hypotheses, constructing mathematical models of theoretical biology and biological theories, using observational data, and performing experiments in both the field and the laboratory. All life on Earth shares a common ancestor known as the last universal common ancestor (LUCA),[16][17][18] which lived approximately 3.5–3.8 billion years ago.[19] This should not be assumed to be the first living organism on Earth; a study in 2015 found "remains of biotic life" from 4.1 billion years ago in ancient rocks in Western Australia.[20][21] In July 2016, scientists reported identifying a set of 355 genes from the LUCA of all organisms living on Earth.[22] More than 99 percent of all species that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct.[23][24] Estimates of Earth's current species range from 10 to 14 million,[25][26] of which about 1.9 million are estimated to have been named[27] and 1.6 million documented in a central database to date.[28] More recently, in May 2016, scientists reported that 1 trillion species are estimated to be on Earth currently with only one-thousandth of one percent described.[29] In terms of practical application, an understanding of evolution has been instrumental to developments in numerous scientific and industrial fields, including agriculture, human and veterinary medicine, and the life sciences in general.[30][31][32] Discoveries in evolutionary biology have made a significant impact not just in the traditional branches of biology but also in other academic disciplines, including biological anthropology, and evolutionary psychology.[33][34] Evolutionary computation, a sub-field of artificial intelligence, involves the application of Darwinian principles to problems in computer science.
straight up reminds me of Stereolab
0:27 "Suckin' on my new booty."
can't unhear it now lol
Elevator music
We ♥ Katamari is easily one of my favorite games, hell I'd probably put it in my top 10 of all time. Such a delight of a game.
Katamari is special, each game plays with different musicstyles. Contributed by many musicians. Take this nice song! God for relaxing. And Sunbaked Savannah, which consists of animal sounds. Blue Orb which is a trip. :D
*Good
I want to have a new katamari game being made really bad (but some cheap smartphone app like recently)
ah yes, good old katamari. i need to play it again :')
Iiiranaaaaaizeeee....
I've loved this song for a long time :D, Nice pick
There is just a certain charm to the music from the series, but I can't put a finger on just why it is like that. I have not played a game from this series despite owning a PS2.
If I had to sum it up in just one word, I'd call it playful.
Do yourself a favor and pick one up.
Amazing, as soon as I heard this track I fell in love. I have to go and check out the Katamari games for the incredible music and weirdness.
