5 out of 5 stars I could not believe my ears, really!!.......2003-05-20

I own several Japanese Pokemon CDs, and this one is my most favorite one. Why? It is all Team Rocket! And as a big Team Rocket fan, this CD was the first one I wanted to own. And I really don't regret buying it. I had read many praises on this CD before I bought it but still I was surprised when I opened this neat package. It contains CD-shaped hardcover story book with lots of Team Rocket pictures with comments in hiragana, katakana (Japanese alphabets) and kanji (Chinese characters) on 48 full-color pages. You can follow the story on the CD much easier when looking into this cute book, but I highly recommend to read translation of this drama into English before you'll listen to it... It helped me a lot to understand what was going on at all. The next thing you find in this package are two booklets with sketches of Musashi and Kojiro. Neat! It is great if you want to learn how to draw them. And the last thing and the reason why you wanted to buy it - great CD with 7 tracks. 4 of 4 songs on this CD are in my Pokemon songs top ten list. They are so cool!

The first one is Roketto Dan yo Eien ni, well known even for non-Japanese Pokemon fans, because the same melody was used for the US (and also German, Spanish and other) version of this song. But, in my opinion, this original version is much much better. I can't speak Japanese so well so I don't know what it's lyrics mean, but the melody of Musashi's, Kojiro's and Nyasu's singing voices is quite different from the US version voices' melody, if you understand what I mean. And the quarreling between Kojiro+Musashi and Nyasu in the middle of the song is so cute too! To shorten it a little bit, it is my most favorite Pokemon song and maybe it is because it is Team Rocket's theme song. The song itself is very beautiful, but it makes me cry from time to time when I listen to it, because I love Team Rocket so much.

From the second to the fourth track you can enjoy Japanese 3-part radio drama. It is something like one Pokemon TV episode (it is about half an hour long, but Satoshi and co. are there only for about 10 seconds, really. It is whole Team Rocket episode. It is fun to listen to it even if you don't understand Japanese, like me, because M+K+N's Japanese voices are both great and hilarious. But I really recommend to read the English translation. It is so so funny!

The fifth track is Rakki Rakki, Kojiro's theme song. Quite weird at first, but I like it now. It has to be funny if you understand Japanese because of the high number of Pokemon puns.

The next two tracks are songs which you can't find on any other Pokemon CD or in any episode. They are bonus tracks made exclusively for this Team Rocket CD, what is quite funny, because they have nothing common with Team Rocket. The first one is Pokemon Master e no Michi. Its melody is Pokemon Game Boy Game title screen melody. If you own Red, Blue or Yellow version of this game, you surely remember this melody. It is really cool and I liked it from the first time. And when I heard the version with lyrics on this CD, duet sung by man and woman, I could not believe my ears. This song was so beautiful!! It would be nice opening song for the anime, I think. Maybe even better than Mezase Pokemon Master.

And the last track on this great CD, song called Umi, is another melody converted from Game Boy Pokemon game, with lyrics of course. It is melody played whenever you use surf Pokemon power in the game. Quite boring melody, in my opinion, but on this CD it is very well done. It is probably because it is sung by a great singer, some woman with the sweetest voice (I mean it in a good way)!

To sum it up: It's a White Tomorrow! is very very very well done CD. If you are Team Rocket fan, you just have to buy it. If you are Pokemon fan and are interested in anything Japanese, buy it. If you want something neat and funny, buy it. If you learn Japanese, like me, buy it. If you like j-pop, buy it. The only reason why do not buy this CD, that comes on my mind, is that for younger kids it can be quite boring listen to something for 30 minutes and don't understand to it. And buing it only for 4 songs it is quite expensive. I can thin of another reason but if you hate Team Rocket or Pokemon, why have you read my review at all?

Team Rocket Forever! And Pokemon anime and it's great Japanese songs too! ^_^ Thank you for reading my long and exhausting (for both sides) review. I hope you enjoyed it and that it helped you to decide.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!.......2002-10-29

This CD is a must-have for any Team Rocket fan! The CD Drama is really cool, you should find a translation when you listen to it though so you know what is going on. This CD also features the songs Lucky Lucky, Umi, Through Eternity(Pokémon Elite Four Theme), and Rocketto Dan Yo Eian Ni, Team Rocket's official theme song! The book is cool too, get it now!

5 out of 5 stars Something dubbers could never mess up.......2002-03-16

This is great. Although it's confusing unless you know Japanese, there's a book with pictures, that I understood. The CD drama had sound effects aswell to guide you through it.
It has tracks 'Roketto Dan Yo Eien Ni', 'through eternity', 'umi' and 'Lucky Lucky'. (Those are the ones I remember!)
Trust me, it's money well spent and you'll probably spend time admiring the the booklets with pictures of Musashi, Kojiro and Nyasu in before listening to the CD.

5 out of 5 stars In essence, "Two for the price of one.".......2001-12-16

This CD, is yet another fine example of how much more emphasis is placed in animation than here in the USA.

This is a beautifully packaged CD with a 35 page hard bound mini-book included with the disk. Even though their is only one disc in the set, the listener gets to enjoy a Team Rocket "Radio Drama" and 4 previously "unreleased" Pokemon musical scores. Definately a must for any "Rocketshipper" or fan of the Pokemon anime.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!!!.......2001-08-01

This is a must buy CD for any Rocket Gang fan!!!!! It has a much better version of the song that they sing in the Jigglypuff episode, and Kojiro (James) sings a great song called lucky lucky, and Meowth's osng is just awesome!!!! The radio drama is great!!!! But you really need to know how to speak japanese!!!!
