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 edit

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 edit

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.
