I've noticed that there are a lot of webpages that focus on only one member of the Golden Pair; or, if it's on both of them, very little can be found on the page. Well, here, you can find a lot of stuff on both halves of the Golden Pair that I've collected from around the 'Net, plus some of my own stuff, too. ^_^ So whether you're a follower of Azusa-chan, or fan of Mikado-sama (like I am *^_^*), have a look around!

Mikado: Well now, this is very unusual, isn't it? I'd never forget the face of a... (Azusa kicks him across the head.)
Azusa: Do your girl chasing later, Mikado!
Mikado: Imagine refusing my kiss like that... She must be very shy.
Azusa: Maybe you just make her sick!
Mikado: The pig-tailed one! Once again she enters my life. Ah... So many the bitter sweet memories...
Azusa: Charlotte! Charlotte! Come on, let's go and join them! (Skate wheels pop out of her boots.) Here we go!
Mikado: Hold on, Azusa... Wait! You're strangling me!
Azusa: Charlotte!
Mikado: Let go of me, you stupid wench!

Mikado: We, the world famous Golden Pair, have another name...
Golden Pair: The Anti-Matchmakers!
Mikado: (Chuckles and cracks knuckles.) Here I... Unh! (Azusa trips him.)
Azusa: My Charlotte has disappeared!
Mikado: What're you doing, you fool?
Azusa: You help find Charlotte!
Mikado: My pig-tailed princess! Oh...!(Azusa bonks him on the head.)
Azusa: Find Charlotte! Find Charlotte!
Mikado: Cut that out! (Azusa whines.)
Mikado: Come to me, my pig-tailed pretty...
Ranma-chan: Huh?
Mikado: Why d'you do that you-- Ah...!
Azusa: Don't you hurt Azusa's little Charlotte! (Hits Mikado with mallet.)

Here's another Golden Pair duet entitled "A Ballad of Rainbows and Rinks: Beloved Florence". It's in Japanese again, but at least Mikado gets through a whole verse before being interrupted by Azusa. ^_~ [Lyrics]
karuta43.mp2 (179Kb)
"Running Around Golden Pair", from the Ranma 1/2 music CD "Fighting Song Karuta". It's in Japanese, of course... Mikado tries to sing this pop-sounding song, but is, um... Interrupted by Azusa. ^_^;
gp-ice.mid (19Kb)
Here's a midi entitled "The Golden Pair of the Ice" (at least, that's what it says on the site I got it from ^_^;). The music is actually from the second of the Ranma 1/2 background music CDs, I believe...
This is a midi of Tchiakovsky's Piano Concerto #1... Why is this here, you ask? 'Cause it's the background music to Azusa's Good Night/Good Morning scenes, that's why! (Yes, I'm way too observant... *^_^*)
Videos:
AKA Beloved Florence (Florence being Mikado's headphones ^_~). Mikado is gamely trying to sing this song, with no help whatsoever from Azusa. [Lyrics]
An extended version of the Ranma 1/2 season 3 (if I recall correctly) ending song, featuring lines (and cameos!) from both Azusa and Mikado. ^_^
Another version of the opening song to the second season of Ranma 1/2, which also feature small cameos from Azusa and Mikado.

What is a KiSS doll, you ask? It's described as a "paper doll for your computer". Trust me, though, it's fun to try! ^_^ However, in order to use a KiSS doll, you need a viewer; download one by clicking here. (You'll also need to unzip this doll before you can use it.)
