TVアニメ ポケットモンスター オリジナルサウンドトラックベスト1997‐2010 〜オーケストラアレンジ 宮崎慎二〜

First off I would like to point out that Pokemon is one of the last surviving (if not "the" last) kids shows in America that incorporates the good old wholesome orchestral background score. Not to mention good quality programming all around, which is very hard to find these days among the garbage on TV today. This helps to give kids & family programming real meaning and well worth watching. I highly recommend this CD set for anyone who loves a good children's TV orchestral score, just like they had in plentiful supply with shows like DuckTales, Gummi Bears, and TaleSpin. The music combines computer/synthesized music with the orchestral score, which is understandable because the show was based on a Game Boy game. This isn't just music for the die hard Pokemon fan. This is a special time capsle piece representing an incredible story telling style for kids, which is a dieing art on TV today. This set, along with pocket monster ost best vol.2, has a lot of beautiful musical pieces from the Kanto shows all the way to Sinnoh. They are the best releases of music straight from the Pokemon TV show so far. In this set you will get some rare gems like the spooky sounding music from the episode where Ash arrives in Saffron City to challenge gym leader Sabrina. You will also get the "Jigglypuff Song" (no Jigglypuff vocal but still perfect), and the Pokeflute song from the "Wake up, Snorelax" episode. The music from the Hoenn and Sinnoh journeys are also very beautiful and worth your time. Especially considering that each tack is around two minutes or less. Take my word for it as a follower of classic children's shows from the 80's and 90's. This music was made to be remembered and cherished for a long, long time!

For the last ten years, I have been humming the themes from the Pokémon TV show. These songs are undeniably catchy and very well written. Recently, I researched where I could purchase the music; however, most available CD's contain the rather poor pop/rap songs made for the US consumers. Upon finding this CD I was skeptical as to its quality; however, I took the plunge and relied on the other reviewers for guidance. Several days after placing the order I received a nice e-mail from the ILC Corporation stating that my order was placed. My order arrived ten days before its earliest arrival date and upon opening the package I found a note thanking me for my purchase and wishing me "Happiness and relaxation". Concerning the product, the condition of the CD was excellent. I immediately tested it and have, so far, found no issues with it. The packaging itself was beautiful and although 90% is unreadable it's still very nice to look at. Listening to the music was really a breathe of fresh air for me. After they destroyed the show and booted the original voice actors I quit watching. However, listening to this music brought me back to the golden days of Pokémon. Shinji Miyazaki, the composer of the show's music, is undoubtedly a musical genius. He did an outstanding job composing these songs and making them immortal. I find it a shame that more people don't know about the actual orchestrated work done on the show. Nevertheless, I will recommend and advise people who still enjoy "good" music to purchase this CD.

This sound track bring back so many memories from my childhood. Every time I listen to this, all those memories of my watching the show with my friends comes back. I love this CD

This CD is filled with music from the Kanto and Johto parts of the anime, and is amazingly nostalgic! The first CD is music which was made based on that of the first and second generation games (Route 1 Theme, the Pokémon Center theme, Elite Four, etc.), while the second CD has music based on the third and fourth generations. Those who have played the games will find many familiar songs, or fans of the anime will recognize some of the classics!The music is also separated, making it easy to skip through (most of the music is only one to two minutes long, some less). I highly recommend this for avid fans of the early years of the show who love the music!

If you're a fan of the show, especially the original series, then you'll love this 2-disc CD set of source music. This first compilation contains music from a lot of seasons. Although, I fell away from series by 2006, the music from later seasons is still nice to listen to, although slightly more electronic rather than orchestrated. Selections from the original CD reappear here but brand new pieces (and variations) appear as well! I recommend buying volume 2 too. Packaging is very nice with a booklet.

Daughter very happy!

Arrive on time, excellent item, perfect condition, works excellent.

Got this as a gift for a Pokemon fan, they loved it! Nice packaging.

Bellissima colonna originale dell’anime dalla prima sino alle stagioni successive create negli anni, indimenticabili momenti, lo consiglio.

High quality collection of orchestral remixes of the original game tracks that were used in the anime. The packaging is great as well.

サントラ聴きながらダイパや剣盾やるとテンションめっちゃあがります!

最高です。車やデスクにいても、冒険、バトルをしている気持ちになり、ゲーム音楽よりもいい！

宮崎慎二氏が手掛けたポケモンＴＶアニメのサントラ集。初代からダイパまでの選りすぐりの曲が集まっている。すぐれた曲がとても多く、一々挙げると切りがないくらいだ。"OK!"のロックアレンジのインストルメンタルは、聴くと胸が熱くなる。白熱するポケモンバトルが思い浮かぶような曲である。（わたしはいつかのヘラクロスとハッサムの戦闘を思い出す。）何だか運動会で流すと盛り上がりそうな、エネルギッシュな曲である。レアだと思うのは"1997～1998-M73"である。あなたはこのトラックを聴いて劇中のどんな場面を思い出すだろうか？　わたしが思い出すのは、テレビアニメではなく、ミュウツーの逆襲の始めの方のある場面である。幼いミュウツーに、アイが月や風のことを優しく教えてくれている場面である。はかない幸せの満ちている、短いが泣ける曲である。これはミュウツーの逆襲のサントラに収録されていないので、中々貴重なトラックだと思う。以上二つの他にも、すぐれた曲はまだまだ残っている。四枚あるディスクには、それぞれベストと言える貴重なトラックが詰まっている。おおむね気に入っているのだが、玉に瑕と思うことがある。それは、サントラ２のトラックタイトルである。どうしてかは知らないが、サントラ２のトラックタイトルは、年の数と、"Ｍ"のアルファベットと、番号の組み合わせで書かれている。上にすでにすでに書いた"1997～1998-M73"のように、書かれている。はっきり言うが、このような書き方では、読んだ時にそれがどんな曲なのかがまるでイメージ出来ないし、記憶することも出来ない。くわしくは知らないが、海外版のトラックタイトルはそのような分かりにくい数字と文字の羅列ではなく、ちゃんとした名前のようである。どうして国内と海外で差が生じるのか？　疑問に思うし、遺憾である。とはいっても、名盤であることに間違いはないと思う。些少の欠点はあれど、それは曲の欠点ではない。このサントラは、９０年くらいの生まれの人にとって懐かしいと思える曲がたくさん集まっていると思います。昔を懐かしむアイテムとして、買っておくと後々よい効果をもたらしてくれるのではないでしょうか？ぜひご一聴を！
