ANIMEmusic

As one of the most talked-about romance comedies, Love Hina is renowned for its hilarious predicaments involving college entrance exams, childhood crushes, bath shenanigans and flying sea turtles. With the 'Love Hina Best Collection' soundtrack, it just goes to show that the proverbial summer of love is not the only season for romance, as this CD offers 27 fanciful tracks wooed from both the Love Hina Spring Movie and Christmas Movie. Included here are nine lovely vocal tracks affectionately sung by the original Japanese voice actresses and 18 instrumentals that will serve to remind you why you fell in love with this charming anime series.
