I like all of the songs on this CD. In fact, most of them I love. These tracks are Japanese pop pablum at its finest – charters, each and every one.^* But they’re also wonderful songs. My hope and intent is that, despite its provenance, everyone likes this CD. How you feel about yourself afterward is up to you.

_{*While the “Pole Position Remix” did not chart, the original did. I claim a moral victory, as well as an awesome one. Besides, nobody’s in any danger of confusing either track with the latest Forkcast.}
