The track is beautiful, they always are. The intro is great, and I like your approach to the usage of the melody, just a few drops here and there, as if it's a well-known motif of the whole OST, and you're picking it at specific times to give consistency to each track.
Side note which has nothing to do with the challenge:
I like that you tried to go for Katamari vibes, and especially the intro works well. I think that one thing that characterizes Katamari is the goofiness and weirdness, which I think you lack a bit here. Your track is so nice and clean, but for a Katamari track you'd have to make it a bit dirty with some weird sound effects, noises, drum machines, or the Shibuya-kei like synths.

Thank you for your message. You're right, it's missing that touch of madness you hear in the Katamari ost. I don't think I have the talent or daring for that yet. But it's a good challenge for myself. I'll take your comment as a starting point and see how I can add some unexpected stuff that sounds good.
