Soundtrack
The official soundtrack album (catalog number COCX-33273) for the game was released in Japan on July 20, 2005. The soundtrack consists of eighteen songs from Namco composers Akitaka Tohyama, Asuka Sakai, Hideki Tobeta, Tomoki Kanda, Yoshihito Yano, Yū Miyake, and Yuri Misawa.
Japanese beatbox artist Dokaka is prominently featured in the game’s soundtrack, performing an a cappella version of the series theme “Katamari on the Rocks”, both with and without lyrics.
There is a mentionable tribute to the original Katamari Damacy on the soundtrack (titled “Sunbaked Savanna”). The song is a medley containing many of the songs found in the original game using “animal noise” samples as the main instruments.
Another tribute can be heard in the song "Disco Prince" with a short clip from “The Moon And The Prince”. Both songs were performed by Kenji Ninuma, one of only two returning performers from the original game.
