Ouendan!

[Skah T]

I know it's not orchestral, but I think a song or two from the Japanese DS game Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan would be fantastic. Imagine the video screen setting up one of the game's stories and when it came time, the entire orchestra (and audience) could call out OUENDAN!

Then you could have three guys dressed up as the Ouendan cheerleaders come out on stage and put on an act just like the game. I pick Ouendan over Elite Beat Agents simply because I prefer the music.

Also, another vote for the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack. I'm listening to it as I type - it's spectacular.

Do you have a link to the song? I've never heard it.

It uses lots of songs, all licensed. For Ouendan they are Japanese pop/rock songs that I have found quite catchy. For Elite Beat Agents (the American-released sequel), they are American songs (Material Girl, Jumpin' Jack Flash, etc).

The full sound track can be found in the usual (torrent) places, searching for Ouendan. You can also find some of the original songs on YouTube. For instance, probably the most popular song is Ready Steady Go, the music video of which can be seen here.

The sound quality is kind of bad on that, unfortunately. Another song I love from the game is called Atsuki Kodou no Hate and can be seen here. There's a minute in there you can skip before the main part of the song starts.
