Line #20 AwesomeMusic/UruseiYatsura


1	A great soundtrack has always accompanied ''Manga/UruseiYatsura''. Both in TheEighties and today.
2	-----
3	!!Original Series (1981)
4	* The first opening, [[https://youtu.be/ESSandvOCwg Lum no Love Song,]] was the longest in the series, with over 70 episodes. From it, you can feel both the unique atmosphere of the times when it was created, as well as Lum's feelings. It also appears in the remake as background music.
5	* [[https://youtu.be/IFEM6I7p6as Uchuu Wa Taihen Da]], the first ending, is practically the anthem of the entire series. The text answers the question of what the show is about. It was also inseparable from the series, appearing in the craziest moments, including the end of the final episode. And that's the vibe from it, the last song, performed by everyone, at the very end of the big party.
6	* [[https://youtu.be/tyUocFTYW8w Kokoro Bosoi na]], the second ending, is very atmospheric and touching. Also used as an insert song in the legendary episode 44, where it changes the scene with Ataru coming home into a real TearJerker.
7	* The insert song from episode 42, [[https://youtu.be/088dIBTnXLA Margarita]], is calm and romantic.
8	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOR0EQT4XB8 first Italian opening]], with incredibly catchy melody and lyrics, is unique in that while all other opening songs are from Lum's perspective, this one is from Ataru's perspective. The 2000s Italian opening, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW1fdas2e1c Tu Mi Hai Rapito il Cuore, Lamù]] (You Stole My Heart, Lum), follows the same idea... But from later in the series, after Ataru has fallen for Lum.

10	!!Movies and OVA
11	* "[[Recap/UruseiYatsuraOnlyYou Urusei Yatsura: Only You]]":
12	** [[https://youtu.be/8FoW57zoi-U "I, I, You and Ai"]] by IzumiKobayashi is a cute and beautiful song which literally and figuratively binds the entire film together; the first part is heard during [[https://youtu.be/b5KPB9VCcjg the opening credits]], while the second is heard during the end credits. A slightly sped-up version is used in the main series as [[https://youtu.be/zu2jkGkBxYo the ending]].
13	** [[https://youtu.be/JsDzVEMfxAo "Kagefumi no Waltz"]] is really touching and kind of nostalgic.
14	** [[https://youtu.be/u_1TvojGPDY "Lum no Ballade"]] by FumiHirano is a beautiful presentation of the feelings that torment the main character, and allows her to find the strength, to continue fighting for her beloved.
15	* "[[Recap/UruseiYatsuraBeautifulDreamer Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer]]": The end credits song, [[https://youtu.be/MKso4XPcw98 "Ai wa Boomerang"]], is energetic and ear-pleasing, strongly in the climate of those times.
16	* "[[Recap/UruseiYatsuraRememberMyLove Urusei Yatsura: Remember My Love]]":
17	** The opening song, [[https://youtu.be/4ibndmNhcFk "Born to be Free"]], energetic with great vocal. The guitar solo is especially amazing.
18	** The title song, [[https://youtu.be/9YMKh-H-m1o "Remember My Love"]], is calm, sweet and simply pleasant to the ear.
19	* "[[Recap/UruseiYatsuraLumTheForever Urusei Yatsura: Lum The Forever]]": The ending, [[https://youtu.be/9Q5y_FENDPU "Melancholy no Kiseki"]], touching and filled with the magical atmosphere of the film.
20	* "[[Recap/UruseiYatsuraTheFinalChapter Urusei Yatsura: The Final Chapter]]": [[https://youtu.be/Ttohm14I9ps "Suki~Kirai"]] is a nice complement to the ending of the movie, and the whole story.

22	!!Remake (2022)
23	* The opening, [[https://youtu.be/OgsWK7pwx7k Aiue]], shows that although 40 years have passed since the original series, its spirit is still here. The fast-paced parts are especially impressive.
