An electric guitar in Smile does seem awfully out of place... Why does it always seem that the majority of Japanese anime songs have some sort of guitar in them, regardless of whether it fits or not? Like in Ready Go! there's a guitar, and I always thought that seemed out of place too...

Oh well, Smile is still an awesome song. It reminds me a bit of the ending song on the movie 'Spirited Away'. I forget what that songs called... and I should know since my brother owns the soundtrack...

And I just heard Polka-o-Dolka for the first time today too! I love that song! So funny and different. I always seem to love songs that Meowth sings. His voice is just too great. ^-^
