Advance Adventure
Hooray for the 6th opening and the 13th ending for the series, the first CD of 2003, and the first CD for the new Pocket Monsters series Advance Generation! WOW, a landmark. Anyway, the new opening on this CD is Advance Adventure, and is quite bouncy and energenic, and is really pretty good. Sokoni Soraga Arkara is the ending, and it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! It has a greensleeves-ish quality to it, and is really... pretty. The karaoke versions of the aforementioned songs are on here, as well as converted game music from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, along the same lines as the BGM music CD for the first season. Overall a pretty good CD.

Pocket Monsters TV Anime Theme Song Collection 1997-2003
Hooray! This is a CD that contains every opening and ending theme song to Pocket Monsters, from Mezasei Pokemon Master to Soko ni Sora ga Arukara. Well... actually, when this was released, there was another ending to Advanced Generation already, but... ^_^; The image comes from Pokemon Japan. Mezasei Pokemon Master is even on there twice, and the remix they slide in is my favorite, the Whiteberry 2K1. Man... this is THE CD :p This is probably even better than a best collection to hardcore anime fans, because this is just EVERYTHING, no movies or anything else. Truly a grand CD :p As a side note, I like how so many titles end in exclamation marks. And are also in English :p

Polka-O-Dolka
This is the second ending to Pocket Monsters Advance Generation. Now, you get the idea that this will be a good CD based on the fact that it has Meowth on the cover, and that the song itself is called "Polka-O-Dolka." However, neither of these even gives you a vague idea of just how AWESOME these songs are. This song is now up there with my favorites (comeon, Meowth is singing Polka in Japanese!), and my only problem is that the remixes are only TV size and not full versions. The tango mix is probably my favorite of the remixes XD The Rocket Dan themes at the end are just the background music that plays while Musashi and Kojiro say the motto, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they're Rocket Dan songs. Geez, this is just AWESOME XD XD XD

Nanayo no Negai Hoshi Jiraachi
This is, of course, the soundtrack for the movie for this summer, "Nanayo no Negai Hoshi Jiraachi" and the mini movie "Odoru Pokemon Himitsu Kichi." Has Chiisaki Mono, Polka-O-Dolka, and an acoustic version of Advance Adventure. The music for this movie's pretty decent... my favorite is obviously the Polka-O-Dolka medley XD The acoustic version of Advance Adventure is also pretty good. Some of the backgrounds are really pretty, and I think my favorite is probably Yuuenchi for whatever reason, has a very carnival-y feel to it ^_^; I'll post the track translations in a bit.
