The soundtrack
for the live action adaptation of Yawara! is
a fairly interesting, if not dated score done by Ken Yajima.
Some of these tracks work well as a stand alone experience,
such as "Judo Rock II", while others like the
"Tears for You" tend to be a little too simplistic
and drawn out. Half of this soundtrack, though, is made
up of vocal tracks done primarily by lead actress Yui
Asaka, while Inoue Yoshimasa or Nobody (their actual name)
do the compositions on these pieces. To Asaka's credit,
the songs are pleasant to listen to; they aren't particularly
memorable, but are very soothing regardless. The one vocal
track not done by Asaka is "I Just Came to Dance",
which is actually an English song done by Radio Voice.
The song is a little cheesy at times, but still kind of
catchy. It should be noted that this release inter-splices
dialogue before a few tracks begin, which some might find
interesting or not depending on their preferences. Overall,
though, if people enjoy music from this period, or Japanese
"idol pop" in general, they should find this
soundtrack a fairly enjoyable experience.
