This is a list of music of the Maison Ikkoku series. It lists individual theme and other songs, singles, as well as music, drama, and collection albums from the anime and live-action releases as well as game soundtracks.

Contents

Theme songs

Maison Ikkoku had an anime television series (96 episodes from March 1986 to March 1988), a live-action film (10 October 1986), an anime television film (February 1988), three OVAs (1988–1992), and a two episode live-action film series (2007–2008). For the most part, all of them had different theme and incidental music.

Television series themes

The opening and ending theme songs in the anime television series changed periodically, and were sung by several different popular singers and groups from Japan and one from Ireland, including Anzen Chitai, Takao Kisugi, Kiyonori Matsuo, Kōzō Murashita, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Picasso, and Yuki Saito. [1]

Opening themes

Ending themes

  • "Ashita Hareru ka" by Takao Kisugi (episodes 1–14) [1]
  • "Ci-ne-ma" by Picasso (episodes 15–23, 25–33)
  • "Get Down" by Gilbert O'Sullivan (episode 24)
  • "Fantasy" by Picasso (episodes 34–52)
  • "Sayonara no Dessan" by Picasso (episodes 53–76)
  • "Begin the Night" by Picasso (episodes 77–96)

Live-action movie theme

The live action film, released 10 October 1986 through Toei and Kitty Film in Japan, reused the two Gilbert O'Sullivan songs as themes. "Alone Again (Naturally)" and "Get Down" had previously been used as the theme songs for episode 24 of the anime television series on 3 September 1986. Outside of those two themes, the soundtrack for the film was composed by Joe Hisaishi.

Anime television movie theme

"Glass Kiss", the theme song for Maison Ikkoku Final (めぞん一刻 完結篇, Mezon Ikkoku Kanketsuhen), was sung by Rika Himenogi. It was released as a single on 3 February 1988 by Kitty Records. It reached #21 on the Oricon charts and sold over 260,000 copies.

OVA themes

There were three OVAs released from 1988 to 1992.

Live-action television film series

The ending theme for the 2007–2008 two-part Maison Ikkoku television drama series was Mamotte Agetai by Yumi Matsutoya. The song was originally released on 21 June 1981 through Toshiba EMI. At that time, it reached #2 on the Oricon weekly charts and was ranked #10 for singles released in 1981. [2] It sold over 695,000 copies.

The other music used in the drama series was composed by Yoshikazu Suo.
