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I mean, for me, I can listen again and again, and yet you won’t feel it’s outdated.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.

Lyrics + translation:

コブクロ － ５２９６

コブクロ(Kobukuro) came out with their latest album, 5296. I have no idea what these numbers meant, however, I think this is quite a good album. The thing about this duo, is that, they sing from their heart. At least that is what I feel when I listen to their songs.

今気に入るのは「蕾」と言う曲です。ぜひ聞いてくださいね。

Tracklist:

伊藤由奈 (Ito Yuna) – Urban Mermaid

I wonder why it’s call “mermaid”… But if I’m not wrong.. it’s a song that kinda encourage women.. (in Japan or around the world.. whatever..) Hmm.. personally.. it’s just an okay song for me.
