Had to remix it with fun feminist lyrics."Ī+ for backstory and mix title working on multiple levels very sweet. The original is such a sweet exploration of love, since it's from the perspective of two old folks who are reminiscing about their past life. So, the title works on like every possible level. She is from Alaska and Alaska has a lot of roundabouts. Fans of Yes will notice several homages to various Yes songs, such as " And You and I" and the album Tales from Topographic Oceans, and the song " Roundabout." (Larry's note: Sir Jordanius also has an amazing arrangement of "Roundabout.") Also, I met my wife in March which is traditionally cherry blossom season in Japan. The idea behind this song is that I really like the band Yes and I think it dovetails nicely with Katamari music. The title is long: "Tales from Arctic Katamari Roundabouts, and You and I, in Cherry Blossom Season." Turns out, it's quite difficult to not use a billion ownership cliches when talking about women in a musical context. I wrote the lyrics to be as feminist as possible given the constraints.

This song took me forever (2 years) for no good reason. Which itself is a remix of "Cherry Blossom Color Season" from Katamari Damacy. "Here's a new remix! It's of the theme "Cherry Blossom Color Season (fanfare mix)" from Katamari Forever. It's been OVER EIGHT YEARS (!!) since we last feasted on Salzbury steak, back before even the OCR02XXX series, so it's pretty effin' great to see one of OCR's vets back in action & returning to form with this Katamari/Jeff Lynne 7+ minute rock opus! It's insane! If for some reason you're unfamiliar with Star's work, go back and listen to ALL his previous mixes first, THEN come back and catch this one! SS says: style rock Katamari Forever power love tribute with respectfully woke lyrics from the one & only Star Salzman!!
