The Maison Ikkoku CD Single Memorial File (めぞん一刻CDシングルメモリアル・ファイル Mezon Ikkoku Shīdī Shinguru Memoriaru Fairu?) is a compilation CD box set released on 1998-07-11[2] featuring all of the opening and ending theme songs from the anime TV series Maison Ikkoku, and the theme song from the Maison Ikkoku theatrical movie.[3] This box set is one of only three Maison Ikkoku music collections containing the theme song Hidamari by Kōzō Murashita, so this set is considered more collectable as a result.[3]

[edit] Description

The Maison Ikkoku CD Single Memorial File is contained in a large LP-sized hard slipcase with two pull-out hardcover folders. The first contains nine of the 8cm CD singles, and the second contains four CD singles along with an adapter for playing the 8cm CDs in CD players which can only handle the standard 12cm CDs (such as slot-drives for which the 8cm CD single format is too small).[3]

The inside of each folder features "film strip"-style summaries of the opening and ending credits used throughout the anime series.[3] The outside cover of each folder features full color group scenes of the characters from the series.[3]

The insert shows the covers of all the CD singles represented in this collection, as well as the complete lyrics for each song. A track listing is included on the back of the insert, listing the title, artist, date of release, record label, which episodes used the song, and the date range of those episodes.
