Alone Again (naturally) (opening ep. 24)
cantata da: Gilbert O'Sullivan
testo: Gilbert O'Sullivan
musica: Gilbert O'Sullivan
arrangiamento: Gilbert O'Sullivan
Within a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch by the church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough
She's tored him up"
No point in us remaining
You may as well go home
Cause I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little peaces
Leaving me to doubt
About God and His mercy
Or if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
And in my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
broken in the world that cant't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
And looking back over the years
When everyone stands and fears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to dry the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to stop with the a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally...
Alone again...naturally...
Get down (ending ep. 24)
cantata da: Gilbert O'Sullivan
testo: Gilbert O'Sullivan
musica: Gilbert O'Sullivan
arrangiamento: Gilbert O'Sullivan
Told you once before
And I won't tell you no more
Get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog baby
But I still want you around
You give me the creeps
When you jump on your feet
So get down, get down, get down
Keep your hands to yourself
I'm strictly out of bounds
Once upon a time, I drank a little wine
Was as happy as could be, happy as could be
Now I'm just like a cat on a hot tin roof
Baby what do you think you're doin' to me
Told you once before
And I won't tell you no more
So get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog baby
But I still want you around -- around
I still want you around
I don't give a damn
And I'd like you if you can
To get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog baby
But I still want you around
Once upon a time, I drank a little wine
Was as happy as could be, happy as could be
Now I'm just like a cat on a hot tin roof
Baby what do you think you're doin' to me
Told you once before
And I won't tell you no more
So get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog baby
But I still want you around -- around
I still want you around
Bad baby, bad dog baby...

Maison Ikkoku: extra-song
a cura di: KojiTra le tantissime canzoni "extra" realizzate per la serie almeno due devono essere nominate: Yokan e Glass no kiss. La prima il sottofondo al momento clou dell'anime e la seconda è l'ending del film Final chapter.
La versione cantata di Yokan, bellissima, è interpretata da Sumi Shimamoto, la doppiatrice di Kyoko (la stessa ha poi inciso un album intitolato Koi Suru Kimochi nel quale reinterpreta tutte le canzoni di Maison Ikkoku).

Non tutti sanno che Cara, dolce Kyoko ufficialmente ha anche due sigle italiane... Mi spiego meglio: in due delle vhs originali Dynamic si è fatto uno strano esperimento, il montaggio di due canzoni di Rosario Di Bella con degli spezzoni tratti dal nostro anime. I due brani sono Difficile amarsi e Sto pensando a te. Si dice che questi due brani siano tratti da un album intitolato Esperanto.
