We Love Katamari

Not only is We Love Katamari home to one of the great video game soundtracks of all time, it also gives us a lot of space. It affords us the room to meditate on the inherently adversarial relationship between creators and their fans, celebrate the career of creator Keita Takahashi, and avoid rolling up too many cows or bears or cowbears. There's no point in thinking only about the future, so let's start rolling.(00:00) Intro(23:25) Housekeeping(29:31) Sean Capri Presents the State of the Nintendo Music Address(44:23) We Love Katamari(2:17:35) Voicemails(2:46:47) YouTube Comment Oversharing Corner(3:02:51) Patron shoutouts(3:05:27) Haikus & Outro✉️ Send email to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📞 Leave voicemail at (216) 230-8540⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎵 This episode's music playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Discord community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon for early access⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen to Bit Harmony on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠☆ Social Links ☆► Matt on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mattmurray.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► Seth on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@twodollarhero.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠☆ Podcast art by Natascha Murray ☆► Nastascha on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@couchmochi.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠☆ Radio stingers by Garrett Bugay ☆► Garrett on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@garrettbugay.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎵 Music Credits 🎵Mario Kart World was composed by Atsuko Asahi, Maasa Miyoshi, Takuhiro Honda, & Yutaro TakakuwaFugue#7777 - Asuka Sakai (Katamari Damacy)Bluffing Damacy - Composed by Asuka Sakai, Lyrics by Keita Takahashi, Vocals by KIRINJI (We Love Katamari)The Forest of Hope - Hajime Wakai (Pikmin)Crown City - Mario Kart WorldSpectating - Mario Kart WorldYoshi Star Galaxy - Mario Kart WorldVanilla Lake - Mario Kart WorldHouston - Composition and Lyrics by Hideki Tobeta, Vocals by YOU (We Love Katamari)Everlasting Love - Composition and Lyrics by Akitaka Tohyama, Vocals by Alisa (We Love Katamari)Houston (Rearranged by KIRINJI) - Katamari ForeverDISCO★PRINCE - Composed and arranged by Hiroshi Okubo and Yuu Miyake, Lyrics by Hiroshi Okubo (We Love Katamari)Overture II - Asuka Sakai and Yuu Miyake (We Love Katamari)Baby Universe - Composition and lyrics by Hiroshi Okubo, Vocals by Maki Nomiya (We Love Katamari)Bless My Stars - Composition and lyrics by Akitaka Tohyama, Vocals by Ranran Suzuki (Beautiful Katamari)Kraid's Lair - Composed by Hirokazu Tanaka, Arrangement by Kenji Yamamoto & Minako Hamano (Metroid Zero Mission)Brinstar Red Soil Swampy Area - Kenji Yamamoto (Super Metroid)Skipping Beneath the Stars! - Yuri Misumi (Katamari Damacy)Blue Orb - Composition by Tomoki Kanda, Lyrics and Vocals by Kahimi KarieKatamari on the Swing - Composition and Lyrics by Yoshihito Yano and Yuu Miyake, Vocals by Shigeru Matsuzaki
