The quality of the sequel's soundtrack will be directly proportional to the quality of the mind-altering drugs the composer(s) take prior to working their magic.

It was, like, 10 guys. You didn't really think any one living man could come up with every one of those tracks on his own, did you?
If they took drugs, which they did or did not, they sure didn't take them to get wasted and fry their brains like Ozzy. And it's not really such crazy music either, it's basically bossa meets some electro meets vocal jazz meets pizzicato five in a refreshing way I don't see the need for much drug use here.

The people pictured in the OST booklet are the guest vocalists. There are really more like 5 or 6 composers, not 10 - more than one, anyway! For the most part, the notable main tracks ("Lonely Rolling Star," "The Moon and the Prince," "Katamari Mambo," "Que Sera Sera," etc) were all by different people.
There is a little overlap, though. Yu Miyake, for example, composed the main theme, "Sakurairo no Kisetsu" (the one with the singing kids), and a couple other little tunes like "Wanda Wanda." Some of the other overlap is pretty interesting. The same composer (Yohihito Yano) did Lonely Rolling Star and Katamari Love, pretty drastically different songs, for example. Some of the others make more sense, like Akitaka Tohyama writing both "The Moon and the Prince" and "You Are Smart" and Asuka Sakai writing "Makka na Bara to Gin Tonic" and "Que Sera Sera."

I'm pretty sure that was never officially announced, though. I seem to remember that being more one of those "inside sources say" kind of things.aku:jiki said:I was so sure it was announced way back, like in May. I think back then it said it was going to come out as soon as November, which scared some people. If only we hadn't switched forums.

Here's what I understand: it wasn't a true announcement, but wasn't a rumor mill thing either. The KD site went down and reappeared with a short quote about KD Oni -- just generally saying it was in the works.
MagicBox had further details saying it would be coming this fall and would include an online mode. They didn't list a source, but EuroGamer said MagicBox said it was from the Nikkei paper, which is where everything starts to get a little hazy. Obviously MBox either misquoted, misunderstood or was misled on the date, so it's anyone's guess on the online claim.

There's lots they could do with the multiplayer side of things, both in terms of versus and in terms of silly mini-games. It has the potential to be a very good party game. Multiplayer seemed like a very last-minute addition to the first game, I'm sure it will be much more developed in the sequel.
Even if the sequel was just more of the same though, I'd still get it. I'm certainly not Katamari'd-out yet ...
... and new game = new soundtrack!
