Search - Akihisa Matsuura, Kenji Kawai :: Ranma 1/2: Ending Theme Songs (Anime Films And Series)

Not quite J-pop

"The Ranma Ending Theme ST is different from your standard Japanese television music. Generally, one tends to think of happy-happy pop music, but none of the themes really fall into that category. Rather, the majority of the tracks are laid back, with a comfortable groove that fits in with late 80's/early 90's American style music that covers many genres, including early techno (Equal Romance), jazz rock (Positive), moderate ballads (Present), J-pop techno (Friends), and your more joking, comedic fare (Lambada Ranma and Lai-Lai Boy). I feel this album is worth purchasing simply because of the relaxed and casual feel embedded in it; after listening to it, you really can't feel bad. - Shour."

You'd have to REALLY like the ED songs... ^^;

"If you like the music of Ranma Nibunnoichi, this CD is a must. I don't like many of the songs, though, or else I'd give it a higher rating (I like the OP songs better.. ^.^)... Well, it does have the full-length Lambada Ranma, which I just love.. ^.-;"
