I admit that i rarely listen to Japanese song. My first Japanese song was a song from the Series Gaban (Still remember that? Bertukar dalam o.oo1 saat? wakakakaka). Wakachau x2 Senanda (or something like that). I've been expose to Japanese song somewhere in late 90's with Kiroro. The most famous song that time was Mira-e. When the Anime craze hits Sabah, there is a lot of Japanese song influence here and there. I'm not a big fan of Anime. The only anime that i used to see and love was Yuyu Hakusho. Oh can Doraemon and Crayon Sin Chan be categorized in anime, coz i like it too... hehehehe...
Currently I'm listening to (for me) a very good Japanese song I've heard in years. Maybe because the rock element inserted in it. I don't know, but i simply love this song. Here is the song by Olivia called A Little Pain, from the Nana Anime Series.
Some info about Olivia:
Olivia or Olivia Lufkin was born to a Norwegian-American Father and a Ryukyan mother, 29 years ago in Okinawa, Japan. She has a younger sister, Caroline who is also a singer. A little Pain was feature in 'Nana' Anime series and has peaked no. 7 in the Japan Oricon Chart. A little pain was wrote in English and later change to Japan. This song is about "Reira's loneliness, pain and strength,"and the character relates well with Olivia, according to her. This is Olivia 9th solo single under the label Cutting Edge.
Lyrics To A Little Pain by Olivia Lufkin
Kimi wa nemuri yume wo toku
Dare mo inai, hoshi no hikari
Ayatsurinagara
Tsuyoku naru tame
Wasureta egao
Kitto futari nara torimodosu
Kizuite
I'm here waiting for you
Ima to wa chigau mirai ga atte mo
I'm here waiting for you
Sakebi tsuzukete
Kitto kokoro wa
Tsunagu ito wo tagutteru
Ano koro no watashi
Me wo samasu you ni
No need to cry
Travel in silence
Te wo nobaseba fureru no ni
Kimi wa tooi, sore wa
Omoide no naka no koto
Koe ga kikoeru
Me wo tojireba
Chiisana itami sae
Itoshikute
Mitsumete
I'm here waiting for you
Kaze ni fukare hitori mayotte mo
I'm here waiting for you
Sora wo miagete
Zutto kokoro wa
Te wo hirogete mamotteru
Ano koro no kimi ga
Furikaeru made
No need to cry
(Feel something, feel nothing
Listen closely, listen closely)
Wide open ears
Disarm the dream tickler
In the constant moment
(You will find me where it's quiet
Listen closely, listen closely)
Let the blood flow
Through all the spaces
Of the universe
Kizuite
I'm here waiting for you
Ima to wa chigau mirai ga atte mo
I'm here waiting for you
Sakebi tsuzukete
Kitto kokoro wa
Tsunagu ito wo tagutteru
Ano koro no watashi
Me wo samasu you ni
No need to cry
I've played this song once during my time deejaying at Sabahan.FM. Maybe that song is still new to them (the listener). Will play it again later. Hehehehe.. So Enjoy this song as i do. Yeah!!!
