New Theme Song DVD coming to Japan...

[Dogasu]

Saw this on PokeAni a few days ago, but the Internet at school doesn't let me go to that site for some reason.

On December 21st, 2007, Japan will see the release of "Pokemon Theme Song Collection Best DVD 1997-2007 (10th Anniversary)." This is pretty much the same as the other theme song DVD that was released in 2003, only now it has songs from later in the series. The DVD will have a "W-Jacket" case and will come with an illustrated booklet.

Here are the songs appearing on the DVD:

01) Mezase Pokemon Master (Matsumoto Rika)
02) Hyasku Gojuu-Ichi
03) Pokemon Ondo
04) Nyasu no Uta
05) Pocket ni Fantasy
06) Type: Wild (English Version)
07) Rival!
08) Lapras ni Notte
09) OK!
10) Nyasu no Party
11) Pokemon Hara-Hara Relay
12) Takeshi no Paradise
13) Boku no Best Friend
14) Mezase Pokemon Master (Whiteberry)
15) Maemuki Rocket-Dan!
16) Ready Go!
17) Pokettaari Monsutaari
18) Advance Adventure
19) Soko ni Sora ga Aru Kara
20) Polka O'Dolka
21) Challenger!
22) Smile
23) Ippai Summer!!
24) Glory Day ~Kagayaku no Hi~
25) Pokemon Symphonic Medley

30) Together
31) Kimi no Soba de ~Hikari no Theme~
32) Kimi no Soba de ~Hikari no Theme~ Pop-Up Version

...and other, unannounced bonus tracks.

The DVD will retail for 3,570円.

What's a "W-Jacket" case?

 

[Zhen Lin]

The Japanese seem fond of using W to mean "double".

 

[Maxim Posthumus]

The Japanese seem fond of using W to mean "double".

And fond of using H to mean "porn".

But I get it. Double and W, both are ダブル in Kana.

About DVD: I don't really care unless they release some extended versions of those OPs. It would be really, really cool to see the 2 minute version of MPM or other opening.

 

[Cybersai]

Surprised what they retconned in D/P is still in the list, but otherwise an impressive collection. I really gotta start collecting these someday.

Then you'll be unhappy to learn that these are going to be the TV size versions.

But! The openings will be textless. So that's something.

I wonder if this means that we'll be getting a new opening soon? Maybe before this is released and it's one of the "bonus" tracks?

Purely speculation . .

 

[Trainer Lisa]

Personally, I'm hoping those bonus tracks will be BGM from D/P.

That would be awesome!! ^_^


I mean, they seriously need to start releasing BGM tracks/CDs again. So much BGM goes unreleased usually, and it doesn't seem fair....

In general, it seems like they give way more attention to vocal songs, than to BGM. I don't understand why this is so. You'd think they would want to release the BGM as well, because they have such awesome background music in the show. And personally, I think it ALL deserves to be released at some point!!



EDIT: Oops....

I misread the title and thought this was a CD. ^^;

I didn't notice it was a DVD.


Yay! In that case, I'm glad they're releasing this!

 

[Trainer Rachel]

So it's all textless? Man, this is the holy grail for AMV makers :-D

It'd be awesome to own.

 

[Katsu Koneko]

SWEET! This is awesome news~ Can't wait for the DVD..

I wish I could own it.

 

[Dogasu]

So it's all textless? Man, this is the holy grail for AMV makers :-D

Well...the DVD that came out in 2003 still has the lyrics at the bottom, but I haven't played around with that DVD enough to figure out if there's a way to get rid of those.

 

[Zhen Lin]

There is not.

 

[Princess Ketchum]

This is so gr8 0.0 i so wanna buy it xD Textless Openings <3
