 Ranma 1/2 to Southern Cross


-------------------------------<cut here>-------------------------------
RANMA 1/2  (and RANMA 1/2 NETTOUHEN)

        Ranma 1/2 opening theme
        Jajauma ni sasenaide  (Nishio Etsuko)
                Kitty Records CD-S: H00K-30018 (1989.4.25), Y937
                2 tracks, 6:54
                (Plus another Etsuko song that may have been
                 made for the show but never used.)

                 1. Jajauma ni sasenaide
                 2. Hen-na Koi
                ---

        Ranma 1/2  Ongaku Doujou (Music Gymnasium)
                Pony Canyon D27G-1003 (1989.7.21), Y2800
                17 tracks / 42 subtracks, 46:41
                (Ongaku Doujou has the opening and first closing
                 theme from the original "Ranma 1/2" series and
                 one other vocal song heard briefly in the background
                 of one episode.  The rest of the tracks contain
                 40 instrumentals of most of the excellent BGM of the
                 original series.  Well worth picking up if you like
                 Ranma 1/2.  It's fun associating the music with
                 various scenes.  This is the one to get!)

        Ranma 1/2  Nettou-ongaku-hen (Hot Fighting Music Collection)
                Pony Canyon PCCG-00013 (1990.1.21), Y2800
                19 tracks / 46 subtracks, 52:19
                (Nettou-ongaku-hen has much of the early Ranma 1/2
                 Nettouhen BGM.  The only vocal is the first closing
                 theme from Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen.  The Nettouhen music
                 is a lot more shallow and cartoony than the original
                 series, except the music from the skating pair episodes
                 which were made by the original producers, but weren't
                 aired until Nettouhen.  Some of it is cute, but overall
                 flat by comparison with Ongaku Doujou.)

                 song contest OAV, but some are scripted a little
                 differently.  Most of the songs are interrupted
                 by one or more of the cast members fighting, so
                 don't expect dance music.  Fun for die-hard Ranma
                 fans.  There are a couple semi-serious songs
                 including a version of ribbon's "Little Date" by

                (Karuta are traditional Japanese playing cards.  There
                 are 45 songs, beginning with each character in the
                 Japanese syllabary, from "a" to "n", most one verse
                 long.  14 of these are all the OP/ED themes up to
                 "POSITIVE", all covers by characters, only about half
                 are "musical".  Sold with karuta cards, one deck with
                 the first verses of the songs, and one with the first
                 kana and a picture.  The artwork is very simplistic,
                 Nettouhen at its worst, though the card with Shampoo
                 in a tiger outfit like Ranma on the cover of manga
                 volume 3 is soooo cute.)

                 1. Odyssey (Inst. Version)                             4:55
                    (Very impressive, grand high fantasy style)
                 2. The Evil Strength of the Warlock Vagnard            3:22
                    (Fast paced, violins depcit the unstoppable power
                     of Vangard)
                 3. Eternity                                            4:07
                    (English version of Adesso e Fortuna.  Lovely song,
                     powerful lyrics speak of Deedlit's feelings toward
                     Parn)
                 4. Lairia's Melancholy                                 2:23
                    (A sad, melodic tune)
                 5. A Flaming Hot [Final] Battle                        3:24
                    (From the weaker side's point of view, trying to hold
                     everything together despite their inferiority)
                 6. Starry Rain (Inst. Version)                         3:53
                    (Mysterious feeling reigns heavy)
                 7. Resurrection Ceremony of the Evil God Kardis        3:11
                    (Funny enough, those "scary" and "horrible" tunes
                     gives a sense of beauty, and perhaps hope, in death)
                 8. Marmo's Monster Groups                              2:58
                    (A pitched fight with these juggarnauts)
                 9. Knight of Lodoss - Kaze no Uta (Song of Wind) -     4:24
                    (Sounds a bit disorganized at first.  Takes a bit
                     of time to get used to.)
                10. The Death of Pirotase                               2:17
                    (Very serious, like a slow march towards death)
                11. The Dragon's Passageway                             3:35
                    (Gives the image of being chased)
                12. Temple of Kardis                                    3:35
                    (Within the seeming peacefulness lurks a weird and
                     creepy feeling that has an attraction of its own)
                13. Kaze to Tori to Sora ~ Reincarnation ~              4:14
                    (Wind and Bird and Sky)
                    (Slow, melodic love song, very romantic)
                14. Epilogue                                            3:21
                    (The big "finale" of a story.  Matches perfectly with
                     "Prologue" of the first soundtrack)

ROBOT CARNIVAL

        Note:  An English version, similar to the Akira CD, will be released
        by US Renditions in August 1991 for around $16.  It should be
        identical to the Japanese version listed below with translated liner
        notes and a much lower price.  More details when the CD is actually
        released.

        Robot Carnival Soundtrack
                Victor VDR-1350, Y3008
                27 tracks, 69:15
                ---
                the tracks are alloted to the segments as follows:
                Opening                 1
                Franken's Gears         2
                Deprive                 3
                Presence                4
                Starlight Angel         3
                Cloud                   7
                Meiji machines          2
                Chicken Man & Red neck  4
                Closing title           1
                ---
                (The CD has too many tracks for Cloud and not enough for the
                 Meiji machines sequence, but other than that the coverage
                 is pretty good)

ROBOTECH
        (Please note that while the animation from this series was actually
         from the three series, Macross, Southern Cross, and Moapeada, the
         music that appeared in Robotech was all new and does not appear in any
         of the aforementioned series.)

                 Robotech soundtrack.  Most of the music from the
                 series appears here although there are some notable
