[edit] Music

The opening theme is "Sora Kara Koboreta Story" (lit. "A story that fell from the sky") and the ending theme is "Thames Gawa no Dance" (lit. "Dance of the Thames River"), both performed by the Japanese group, Da Capo, with Tokuko Miura writing the lyrics for both the opening and ending theme, Ken Sato composing the music for the opening, Norimasa Yamanaka composing the music for the ending and Ryo Fukui arranging both the opening and ending themes. All of the background music was composed by Kentaro Haneda with some themes based on the opening and ending themes. In the English version, the songs are instrumental and so replace the vocals.
