First heard about this release from Kurogane, who spoke mostly of the JAM PROJECT remix of “Motteke! Sailor Fuku” on track 1. A bunch of guys singing that song is particularly amusing, but I didn’t find it too different from the remixes on the Re-Mix001 album, which was released in August. So I expected just to hear six more interesting twists on an already crazy song, and tracks 2, 3, and 4 were just like that.

…But then I was totally blown away by the remaining two tracks.

Mm… Kagamin’s shoulder

Track 5, “Motteke! Sailor Fuku Bak-Bak-Bakoon! Mix” by Ryosuke Nakanishi a.k.a. r-midwest, expands upon the previous remixings by adding both the background music from the series and the speaking tracks from the character song albums. As someone who has listened to all of the individual character song albums (and loved all of them), this is a treat to the ears. “Motteke! Sailor Fuku” will always remain as an iconic song, but it certainly wasn’t the only good one throughout Lucky Star’s run. So this track broadens the scope and includes voices from all the other girls in the show.  (…And I think I heard some Cheetah Men II at the end of this track.)

Finally the epic Track 6, titled “Kumikyoku ‘Lucky Star Douga’,” is credited to Lucky Star no Minna, or basically the entire cast (or close to it). What this means is more inclusions of character image songs, and it results in the most awesome track ever. It’s 15:25 long — yes 925 seconds — but you will be entertained throughout its entire length. I’ll be jamming to this one for a while, especially while driving. I can barely type this entry without moving in my seat a little, so I apologize if I’ve been rambling so far, but I’m trying to keep it concise.

This one track revitalizes my love for all the music released for Lucky Star, and it was an interesting quiz opportunity, too. I’ve tried to break down the song below, but maybe you could listen to it yourself and try to figure it out first.

13:05 – “Hiiragi 4 Shimai” (BGM)
13:27 – “Kaeshite! Knee Socks” (on OP single)
13:51 – “Motteke! Sailor Fuku” (series OP)

6:15 sounds closest to “Ran Ran Ran dayo, Lucky Star” and 13:05 has faint sounds of “Shiawase Negau Kanata Kara” but I don’t think those are it… And the rest of the ?’s sound very familiar, but I can’t pinpoint them.

EDIT 1: Thanks to my commenters for helping to fill in the blanks! ^_^

EDIT 2: Now that the 8th BGM disc is out, I’ve identified 6:15 as Minami’s theme.  13:05 still unknown; it will probably be revealed in the future.

EDIT 3: I think the list is done! Yay, commenters! Hooray!

EDIT 4: (April, 2009) A correction after almost a year. 12:15 is a track on the 11th BGM disc that was released long after the last “We’re done!” announcement in this thread. And the word Sentimental in the track name may be more easily searchable as “Yanchimental,” a misreading that went unchecked on the Internet after the CD’s release.

Get this album for track 6 and its amalgam of awesome, and then maybe the rest of them in descending order. Oh, and the cover of the album is so nice.
