This is
the final soundtrack released for the 2004-2005
show The Justirisers.
Unlike the previous two CDs, the "Courage Volume" (CRCA-20015)
and the "Wisdom Volume" (CRCA-20017),
this release was actually printed as part of a limited
run. Furthermore, it also comes with a box intended to
fit all three jewel cases inside, dubbed the
"Shirogane Box".
Sadly, compared to the earlier volumes, this one is
fairly tepid. There are a few nice tracks here, some
of the best of the series in fact such as "Great
War in Space", "Riser Shirogane" and
"Demon God Daruga". However, by in large
it feels like its stuck with the leftovers from the
previous two discs, particularly with the inclusion
of the short "Bridge Collections". There
are also a number of awkward sounding cues here, such
as "The Date Appliance Store" (for reference,
Date is in relation to the family name in the show)
which sounds almost like video poker music. This is
followed directly up with another lackluster cue in
the form of "Feigning Ignorance", and a
pattern starts to emerge. Composer Yasuharu
Takanashi is fairly good at creating sinister
and march-like cues, but when it comes to producing
music for the more light hearted and comedic moments
of the program he falters and goes way over the top.
Unfortunately, this is the disc where most of those
themes ended up finding their home.
Bottom line, if one isn't a diehard fan of the series
then this one is better left alone in favor of the
other two standard releases. However, all three volumes
feature completely new music, with the only duplication
being with edited cues that remain faithful to how
they played during the program. So if one is a big
supporter of The Justirisers, this is probably
worth picking up due to the fact that, as previously
started, there are a few themes here that some won't
want to miss. In fact, the score on this CD as a whole
has an unorthodox type of feel to it, and tracks like
"Pursuit" and others seem vaguely reminiscent
of the style of music showcased in Godzilla:
Final Wars (2004), which might appeal to fans
of that soundtrack.
