This
is the first of three soundtracks released for the
2004-2005 show The Justirisers. At 47 minutes,
this disc, dubbed the "Courage Volume",
is easily the shortest of the three CDs. Not surprisingly,
given it's the first in the series, this disc also
features some of the best music from the series. In
fact, the disc has a number of nice themes, created
by Yasuharu
Takanashi. The "Main Theme", which has
a more contemporary style while still giving off a
more feudal sense with its chanting, is well paced
and makes for a good listen. "Storage Satellite"
is also a great theme off this disc, making for a
nice march from Takanashi. "Dormant Kaiser"
is especially enjoyable, using an organ-like style
that feels cliche given the villainous intent of the
theme but is none the same a very nice cue. "To
Tomorrow" makes for a good conclusion type of
track for the show, giving a sense of closure yet
maintaining the episodic nature that is required from
an ongoing series. Two of the songs on the disc are
also quite enjoyable. The first of these is the always
popular "Phantom Star God Justirisers" by
Nakajima Mitsuo, which has a contemporary flow to
it but remains memorable thanks to Mitsuo really giving
it his all in belting out the lyrics. The other nice
song off this disc is Sky by SweetS. The track has
a very carefree tone, starting with a chant before
getting into a slow paced song with a rather upbeat
background theme, which makes for a fairly pleasant
listen.
Sadly, there are some lemons on this CD. Leading the
way is the song
"Archipelago Party Night" by HAV. I know this song, which
was used at the end of the show, has some fans, but I
simply can't stand the beat
and don't find any of the singers to have a particularly
pleasant singing voice. A few other tracks suffer as
well, particularly the guitar heavy ones.
"Attack" seems to be the worst of these, and it's a shame
as it starts off strong
but reaches an almost screeching-like tempo near the
end.
Bottom line, this disc isn't fantastic, but it's still
thoroughly enjoyable. However, if there is one CD
to get of the music from the show, I would suggest
the "Wisdom Volume" (CRCA-20017)
take first priority over this.
