KOH+ – 最愛

I got to know this song after watching the “Galileo” (drama)’s movie version… “Suspect X”. I love Fukuyama Masaharu.. He’s really cute (handsome.. good-looking..).. and the movie was good.. (in my opinion)

I guess KOH+ means… Kou Shibasaki + Fukuyama Masaharu? Nice song.

aiko – milk

Though I have not been posting any Japanese songs, albums, videos for a looonng time.. doensn’t mean I don’t listen to them anymore. And imagine, Aiko in her early 30s and still, she looks young, petite, cute and 20-ish.

今、気に入っているの曲。

今夜も星に抱かれて…

この世で一番心地よい場所　それはあなたの胸の中
胸に耳あて鼓動感じるの

What l need now is you
あなたのリズムで眠りそうになる
You made me what l am
このささやかな幸せが続くように…

あなたの愛をこの身に感じ　あたしも伝えるの
あなたの胸に抱かれ　あなたの匂いに包まれて

What l need now is you
これ以上の幸せなどないの
You made me what l am
あたしに不安などないの　あなたがそばにいるから…

5年たった今でも　ゆらゆらと陽炎のように
星になった君に触れることは　できないけれど
今夜も夢を見よう…

What l need now is you
Everyday Everynight l miss you
You made me what l am
Everyday Everynight Everything is you

そばにいるから

daily mp3 :: 丸の内サディスティック (Marunouchi Sadistic)

This song is definitely a classic.
I mean, for me, I can listen again and again, and yet you won’t feel it’s outdated. At least for me it doesn’t. (album released in 1999 which includes this track)

And this song basically tells you what Shiina Ringo felt and experience when she came her way to Tokyo to become a musician. (I guess)

This is the original version:

lyrics + translation:

秋川雅史 (Masafumi Akikawa) – 千の風になって (Sen no kaze ni natte)

He sounds like Josh Groban of Japan… who is a Japanese Tenor.
But when I first listen to this song, I thought it was some oldies that is probably popular in Japan for some time.. But I guess not.

Though I don’t really listen to such genre of music often, it’s actually quite refreshing to listen to such songs in Japanese. And even hit the Oricon chart for quite some time.. and still going strong. wow.

A little bit of research shows that this song is based on the poem “Do not stand at my grave and weep” .. very poetic indeed. The thing is.. when the time I die, I don’t think I’ll even have a graveyard. What more.. who will weep? Myself? Probably laugh at the fact I died, if I ever go to the other side and see something. hmmm.
