A review of
Yu Yu Hakusho: Original Soundtrack 1
I only own this soundtrack for one reason: The vocals. The opening and ending vocals to the first season of Yu Yu Hakusho are some of the catchiest songs I've ever heard (sung by Mawatari Matsuko), so I had to have the OST. Luckily, the BGM wasn't too bad either (seeing as it was mainly character themes)!
Listen to the samples to form your own opinion. Besides the vocals, there's nothing grand about this soundtrack, nothing that really stands out. Note that the first print is very hard to find.
