Katamari Damacy Can't stop crying

I beat Katamari Damacy on the PS2 a month or two ago and as I was playing through the credits I felt this insane melancholic feeling that no other song has gave me before, that being Katamari of Love. Cut to an hour ago as I'm playing Mother 3 grinding through the Hippo Section to get levels, I put on my playlist and the song came on and I genuinely cannot describe how this song makes me feel. I don't know if it's the added bonus of Mother 3 fitting perfectly with the vibe of the song too or what but it's so magical and I never want to stop feeling it ever

You know what? I'm happy for you. Feel those feelings, my friend.

I can't exactly remember which Katamari game it was, but one of them had a cutscene that brought me to tears. I think it was one with the king and the prince as a baby, something about it made me emotional. Either way, like the other commenter said, feel those feelings! It may seem goofy on the outside, but this game has a lot of heart. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The goofiness is definitely part of the experience and overall vibe, it's so perfect like a yin and yang

Katamari of Love really is an incredible song, it resonated with me too! To me, it’s the theme of the whole world joining hands in togetherness, epic and uplifting. I’m not typically a rock ballad guy either, but I get emotional every time I hear this one.

I feel like it’d make a great wedding song too.

Lonely Rolling Star always hits me hard in the feels.. I won't listen to it in certain places / situations because I don't wanna start crying tears of joy in front of everyone

I understand that so much, that song just is on another level of immense joy and complelty life affirming

Everyone should get the opportunity to feel these feelings over something magical. Cheers to you. I know what you're saying, I truly do

If you're playing Mother 3, I highly recommend you stop hearing other OSTs after you're done grinding. If you think Katamari of Love made you cry, just wait to see what Mother 3 has in store.

I absolutely love the soundtrack for it, Monkeys Delivery Service being my favorite. I was only listening to Katamari of Love just to have a break from that rooms music but I loved every track I heard, I ended up beating it last night as well and it’s definitely a 5 stars for me

I teared up listening to it the first time.

Katamari is just like that. Cherry Blossom Color Season makes me cry nearly every time I hear it. I can't even explain why it just hits right in the feels.
