This is one super-kawaii CD! I personally love it, although one of my friends said that he found the first two songs to be rather annoying. When I told him I disagreed, he just gave me this Look ^_^ Anyway, there are six tracks on this CD, and they are in order:
  - Tankentai wo Tsukurou! the opening theme (Let's Make an Exploration Party!)
  - Soratobu Pokémon Kids the ending theme (Flying Pokémon Kids)
  - Taiju to Nakama-tachi an insert song (The Great Tree and All Its Friends)
  - Mama no Daiji na Pokémon an image song (Mama's Important Pokémon)
  - and two original karaoke songs for Tankentai and Soratobu.

Hmmm...I'm not particularly good at reviewing CD's, so I'll just state my opinions on each of the songs.

Tankentai wo Tsukurou!: A super-peppy, kawaii song. The first part is a little weird where they're singing "woo yeah", but that's over before soon. After that, it kinda reminds me of Natsuyasumi Fan Club, the opening theme for the first part of Pikachu the Movie, Pikachuu no Natsuyasumi (Pikachuu's Summer Vacation). Pikachuu squeals kawaii-like at various intervals during the song, like in Pika-Pika Massaichuu ^_^ While some of the time it's a somewhat hyper song, it's mostly comprised of parts where it's calmed down and smoother (like the part I'm listening to right now). It's sung by the group Pokémon Kids (also translated incorrectly as Pokémonkeys), and the instruments seems to be... let's see... a synthesizer, a regular guitar, an electric guitar, a bass, some kind of wind instrument that I can't identify, a main instrument that I have NO idea what sounds like (probably part of the synthesizer)... a vast number of other instruments as well. I'm not a musician, so I have no clue what a lot of them are.... At the very end, you can hear Pikachuu and various other Pokémon splashing in a pool and having fun. An interesting end, I must say...

Soratobu Pokémon Kids: Another cute song, this one's my favorite. It's peppy and sung by an American girl named Becky (at least, I'm assuming from the name that she's American), and the chorus is done by the familiar Pokémon Kids that have sung the chorus for a large number of other PM songs. The main instruments seem to be a synthesizer, a regular guitar or something like that, and I think a clarinet. I can't tell. But this one's even peppier than Tankentai wo Tsukurou!, although the cuteness level is about the same. Becky-san's voice can hit some interesting high notes, and my one friend who didn't like the songs asked me if this CD was the CD for anally raped young boys singing Pokémon songs... ^^;;;; Although that commentary was probably unnecessary... oh well. I personally like this song for its high energy level without being exceedingly sugary.

Taiju to Nakama-tachi: A change in pace from the other songs, this insert song is soft and smooth, with a soothing female voice. Major synthesizers in this songs; listening to it, I think every instrument is synthesized. But it's got a beautiful mysterious air to it; kinda reminds me of Midori-san from the episode Fushigidane, Hidden Away. I dunno why. There's an interesting chorus in the background that sounds basically the same as the singer's voice. It reminds me heavily of a forest where just the right amount of light pierces through to make it seem like a dreamy fairy-tale forest. Makes me wonder what the deal is with the so-called "Great Tree"... and where Satoshi-tachi are when Pikachuu-tachi are off exploring in some unknown forest... Quite a nice song to fall asleep to.

Mama no Daiji na Pokémon: Yes, of course this is a peppy song. Not nearly as peppy as Soratobu, and a bit behind Tankentai, but still cute and peppy. Sung by Becky, the vocal for Soratobu. Piano and guitar tune, I think I hear a triangle in the background... My other favorite song on this CD. For those of you who wouldn't be able to stand the vocals in Soratobu and Tankentai, this might be more up your alley; Becky-san doesn't hit as many high notes, and it's not as cute. I like the lalalanlan in the various intervals in the song ^_^ While I like all the songs on this CD, I think this may be the best on a larger fan scale. But, there are karaoke versions of Soratobu and Tankentai, and the music works very well without vocals, unlike some other songs I've heard (Suzuki-san and Pocket ni Fantasy spring to mind...). All in all, I recommend this CD to anyone who likes songs with a high level of kawaii-enaji in them.
