Ranma 1/2 Background Music 1: Music Gymnasium CD Cover


The following songs are off of the first Ranma background music cd. Apparently there are three different ones. The tracks heard here are most likely music played during various TV episodes. A special thanks goes out to Christopher Figueroa Porreca for doing all the descriptions and ratings for the Background songs, as well as Simon Delgado for the English titles of these tracks. And one last thanks goes to Matthieu for submitting the real Ranma Background Music track information.
