• Music
  • Sonia singing both the English and Japanese version of the opening.
  • Christopher Franke's score for Tenchi Muyo In Love. Special mention to his "Achika" theme and the heroic composition that plays whenever Tenchi becomes Extremely Protective Child.
  • Tenchi Forever! features music by Frédéric Chopin. In all, Chopin's preludes Op. 24 Nos. 3, 4, and 17 and his Etudes Op. 10 Nos. 3 and 9 are used. The music fits in well with the more downbeat tone of the film.
