You just know Ryo's made it in the anime-verse when he gets his own CD! The Best Tamer CDs (and the Image Songs, Best Partner CDs of Adventure and 02) feature the seiyuus (voice actors) of the characters performing songs that reflect the character's personalities. At best you get some insight into the character at worst you wonder 'what the heck?!' (as in my experience with MarineAngemon's song). Even if you don't understand Japanese you can often get an idea of what the song is trying to convey through the music itself.

Ryo's Best Tamer CD (#5) features three songs:

• Digital Surviver - 4:06
• DoD - 3:46
• Fighting Soul - 4:15

No slow ballads for this duo, all songs have a nice rock beat to them, which suits the two. 'Digital Survivor' and 'DoD' (which stands for 'Dead or Dead' -- very Cyberdramon-ish, no?) gives us a look at Ryo and Cyberdramon's mindset respectively while 'Fighting Soul' shows the common bond between the two.
