Customer Reviews

Fullmetal Alchemist openers and closers IN FULL
I loved the theme songs for this series but didn't listen to them while watching the show as much as I could have. It gets annoying to listen to the same song 10 times in a day while watching the episodes one after the other when you could just skip to the actual show.

The songs are catchy Jpop and Jrock and a little bit of Jr&b
"Melissa" by Porno Graffitti: It is a catchy and fast-driven pop-rock song. The chorus is overpowering and always makes me want to scream along. It may be a little too cheerful for some, though.
"Kesenai Tsumi" by Nana Kitade: This is a pop-punk song with female vocals. It echos No Doubt a little bit until the chorus bursts out. Very repetitive.
"Ready Steady Go" by L'arc en Ciel: I love L'arc, a lot, so I'm a little biased. Hyde's voice is very masculine and makes this rock song more grounded than it would have been. The drum drives the beat along and the vocals are so much fun.
"Tobira no Mukou He" by YeLLOW Generation: The beginning of this song pulls me into the song every time, I love it. Despite the rock beat, the song is pretty soothing which is great for an ending song. It may sound like a typical pop song, but the strings make it more.
"Undo" by Cool Joke: Rock. Beyond fun song! The engrish is cute, the lyrics are easy to follow and it bops along like the pop-rock it is. The chorus is pretty powerful, too.
"Motherland" by Crystal Kay: R&B slow ending. Sounds like a nighttime lullaby interrupted by a bass beat. Not a favorite.
"Rewrite" by Asian Kung-Fu Generation: This song by itself is very well put together. The most rock song on the album, too. It rocks along the entire time and the guitar solo is awesome.
"I Will" by Sowelu: Another R&B song, and again it's not all that great. Starts out slow and sad and picks up to a club song, doesn't make such a good season ender.

The TRUE Tracklist.
This mix is great, if your a longitme fan whos seen the whole series.
HERE IS THE COMPLETE TRACKLIST TRANSLATED:

01 Melissa (first season intro)
02 Kesenai Tsumi (first season closer)

04 Tobira no Mukou He (second season intro)
05 UNDO (third season intro)
06 Motherland (third season closer)

If your following them in english, I suggest the first collection, as it has music from the anime. This is just the intros/closers.

Fullmetal Review!!!
One thing: If you like Japanese music and you like Fullmetal Alchemist, that's all you need to buy this album. It has a great selection of the best themes from the series. It kept me listening. This is the best FMA soundtrack you'll find!
