yeah, i just read the review and was just about to post the same thing about his so called 'three themes'. i was going to point out the 'angel' theme as the third though, since i don't remember the 'cure' theme. but yeah, the main theme is clearly used as both the action theme and in the dramatic music. i thought that was weird they he didn't mention that.
