I don't care what anyone else says, this is by far the best of the Japanese tapes. The beats and rhyming are literally perfect, and you can tell they're really having tons of fun recording these songs! I love how much Banjō Ginga's English has improved since The Airship 👏 The poor animator has a hard time keeping up with his rapid-fire lyrics on My Best Friend is an Illiop though 😂
Interestingly, this book is unique from the other Japanese books in that it does not have the Japanese cast credited. Instead, it keeps the English cast on the inside cover, printed in English, and has the artists' credits translated into Japanese on the second page. Not sure if this was a mistake or not but I'm glad other books are not like this.
