Miscellaneous Info
A lot of effort have been put into the theme songs and musics of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and this can
be reflected by the sales figures of EVA CDs. All EVA CDs, including singles and soundtracks, got very
good sales figures in Japan and hit high in all sales charts. Some of the EVA CDs even hit the top for
weeks in the Japanese Oricon CD Singles/Albums Sales Chart. They even beat those musics from J-pops
and movies!
The background MIDI comes from 3x3 Eyes "Kyuuseikoushu" Ending
Theme.
