TrackInfo::19 tracks: 1 vocal
Playtime::43:45
Comment::Contains the BGM of all 4 OVAs, plus OP/ED themes, including a version of the ED sung (not very well) by Miyu. Very mysterious and 'spellbound' atmosphere, just as in Takahashi Rumiko's "Ningyo no mori" BGM CD. Dare close your eyes and Larva might come and haunt your dreams... Tracks 1, 3, 4, 8, 13 and 15-19 are among the best. All tracks composed and arranged by Kawai Kenji (the now world-famous composer of the unforgettable themes of Maison Ikkoku, Ranma 1/2, Hime-chan no ribbon etc.) The booklet is full of excellent colorful pictures of Miyu and Larva from the 4 OVAs, including the 4 LD jackets.
