"My, earth really is full of things!"

[Kirbylucky]

we used this version to walk the aisle on. ❤❤❤ always my favorite song and version married 2/22/22 on a Tuesday. we just roll with it 😊

[SecurityDivision]

I just love the occasional smile of the vocalist, looks like she living the moment to the max :)

[joeyfatonefrombackstreetboys]

I think one of the greatest things about these arrangements is how the melodies remain strong and visible. I think sometimes arrangements go too far from the original.

[TheGioDude]

Uh, oh. Jam Alert!
Also, the katamari ball picking up the lyrics is super cute and I love it.

[bradliminator]

I just listened to this four times in a row with headphones on. Shivers, something caught in my throat and the corner of my eye. Mindblowing arrangement and outstanding musicianship.

[darkdarkyday]

This song is about being allowed to chase your dreams by someone who loves you and wants you to succeed. It's something a lot of us has been yearning to hear.



If you're feeling emotional, it's ok. I am, too.

[tsuka]

日本語で申し訳ない。

アレンジがとても素敵でずっとリピートしています。
歌詞の載せ方も原作への愛をとても感じました。


これからもご活躍を楽しみにしています。

[LuckyPunkProd]

I swear, Bandai Namco should use this in a future Katamari game. This is just too damn good.

[Ouchiez]

4:33 the main theme is incorporated so well I hadn't noticed the first hundred times I've listened to it

[GLOCOgaming]

this suddenly popped up on my reccomended at the right time~ <3 Makes me wanna play this gem of a game again~

[emilycreativeandtall]

It’s so cute when you see the lead singer smile and then hear it in the vocals 🥰

[powerpc]

Why is everyone in the comments crying?

3:48 Whoa. Hey, why am I crying?

[JacobRichVideos]

This has a criminally low number of views, this straight up might be the best game music cover I have ever heard on youtube

[jusyeboi]

Kaho Kidoguchi is also the singer for the OP to the CN show "Mao Mao: Heroes of the Pure Heart"

[OneOptionChoices]

2:05 only real conductors use the almighty pencil baton

[RogersBase]

First I found your stellar Snake Eater and now THIS?! I have an unequivocal new favorite YT channel. Can’t wait to see what you all do next!

[Shankovich]

Gave me a tear too. You can hear the vocalist smiling even without the video. Something about that coming through just seems to get me.

[TheRhythmDealer]

This channel better blow up, people need to see these covers
