Para Para Max 3: I'll Give You Romance Remix.

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Has anyone ever heard of the "Para Para Max" series of CD's? Its a line of CD's by Geneon that have remixes of songs from popular anime shows.

Anyways I bring this up because I was in FYE the other day and noticed this CD. Para Para Max 3 US. I never heard of this before so I dont know what made me actually pick up this CD up and flip it over to see what was on it. Maybe it was the anime whore on the cover with the cowboy hat... I dont know. But this particular CD had a remix of "I'll Give You Romance", the original ending theme to DragonBall. Its pretty cool, it also has stuff from One Piece, Ranma, Yu Yu Hakusho, Gundam and some other animes I heard of but never seen.

I made a sample of 4 (of what I think) are the best tracks on this CD. Each sample is about 55 seconds long...

The last track on this CD is a mix of every song on the CD... Its... different.

Nice! any chance we can get a shot of the track listing? And maybe a way to order the disc(s) online?

Google is my friend:
1. Woefully out of date and eye-killing website:
http://www.paraparamax.com/default2.html

2. Amazon listings for the three discs:

http://www.amazon.com/Para-Max-US-Mix/dp/B0009OL7TU
http://www.amazon.com/Para-Max-Vol-US-Mix/dp/B0009PVZZA
http://www.amazon.com/Para-Mas-Vol-US-Mix/dp/B000AC7ONE

Those are Amazon.com listings: the Canuck site makes the task a bit harder, and seems to list volumes 4 and 5 as well, but are out of stock

I thought this was actually quite well-known. This remix has been around for a while now, and for reference, it's sung by ISHIDA Youko, who got her start doing Otome no Policy for Sailor Moon (which is what initially interested me in this version of the song*), but I think now she's better known for the Para Para CDs.

*And on that note, the Princess Moon ending, which preceded Otome no Policy, was sung by HASHIMOTO Ushio -- the original singer of Romantic Ageru yo!
