Tenchi Muyo! in Love (天地無用! in Love?) is the first of three movies set in the Tenchi Muyo multi-verse.
The film takes place after the conclusion of Tenchi Universe, and so varies from the original OVAs at several points. Most noticeable of these is the inclusion of Achika as Tenchi's mother instead of Kiyone Masaki.
The movie was followed by Tenchi Muyō! In Love 2 - Haruka naru omoi (Tenchi Forever! in the US), released in 1999.
As the movie began, the A-1 class criminal Kain had escaped confinment in the subspace room of the Galaxy Police Headquarters, then succeeded in destroying G.P.H.Q.. However, before its destruction, headquarters sent out an emergency message, warning of Kain before cutting out.
Almost immediately, things started going wrong. Tenchi Masaki shows all indications of fading out of reality altogether, as well as the house and shrine becoming aged ruins. Washu, picking up subspace indications of what's going on, places a temporal shield around Tenchi. However, the shield is only temporary, so now Tenchi and the girls have to find out what Tenchi's mother Achika has to do with what's going on.
As a result, the gang (with the exception of Washu) goes 26 years in the past, where Achika and Nobuyuki are students. But soon, they discover someone else is watching Achika as well.
The movie was a huge success in Japan, barely edging out Titanic as the best-selling movie in 1997.[citation needed]
The music for Tenchi in Love was composed by Christopher Franke (formerly of Tangerine Dream and the main composer for the Babylon 5 series).
The end theme song is Alchemy of Love, written by Franke and performed by Nina Hagen, with Rick Jude on backing vocals.
There is also an Achika version of the song, with new Japanese lyrics, and is performed by Megumi Hayashibara (Achika's Japanese voice actress). The Achika version is available on a single mini-CD (Pioneer PIDA-1033) and on the Japanese LaserDisc version of the movie, as a music video, which also features the original English version.
