Comments
This disc is one of the few soundtracks that can actually get away with a runtime of only a little over half an hour, because the music is simply that good. Of course this disc features a lot of songs on it, so it will likely be hit and miss with some. Still, one would be hard pressed not to enjoy the over the top "I'm a Collector" song done by actor Takeshi Kaga (which was not used in the film) or the movie's end theme "You and Me" (aka "Toi Et Moi") done by Namie Amuro, which seven years later still remains one of my favorite Japanese pop songs. Those looking for some more classic compositional work also have some tracks to look forward to, especially since composer Shinji Miyazaki does not fall back on using primarily stock themes like he had for Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back (1998). Miyazaki's star attraction on this release, and a career high for the composer, is easily "Jiraldan's Theme", a very foreboding track with heavy chorus work that sounds far too ominous for one to picture the music attached to a Pokémon movie. Unfortunately, this soundtrack is not complete, and is missing some key themes from the movie including the more upbeat cue that plays when the heroes are rafting their way across the river of ice. Considering its short runtime, it's anyone's guess why some of the themes were left off as there was more than enough room to accommodate them.
