"Lonely Rolling Star" from Katamari Damacy on the PlayStation 2 (2004) & Nintendo Switch (2018)
Composer: Yoshihito Yano
Singer: Saki Kabata
Label: Columbia Music Entertainment
Developer: Namco
The other day I just finished one of the (other?) levels in Katamari Damacy REROLL on the Nintendo Switch that plays "Lonely Rolling Star," and it really is one of my favorite songs that I have come across while playing. I have listened to the soundtrack countless times but have only progressed to at least one of the stages that is on the coast.
One of the things I love about this song, is that despite the title, the song is wonderfully cheery and upbeat. And now I just made the mistake of looking at the lyrics to find out if there was, in fact, some deeper, sadder meaning behind the title of the song. So aside from it being about someone waiting for someone else that they love, I do not know if I want to delve into a lyric analysis considering the often bizarreness of Katamari as a whole.
It's just a song that makes me happy, even when I spend 12 minutes on Earth trying to roll up as much stuff as I can, under the constant threat of fatherly disappointment and public ridicule.
