I love this song. I don’t know about “love at first sight” but when talking about “love at first heard” then I have to agree to that statement. There are numerous songs that I’ve liked since I started listening to music way back when I was still a kid. When I became addicted to Animes, I started to like music made in Japan, or what they call now J-pop.

I’ve watched a lot of Animes in my lifetime, and if I add them all up, it will amount to hundreds of episodes. Regarding music from Animes, there are a few J-pop artists that came into mind; L’arc En Ciel, Bonnie Pink (It’s Gonna Rain is still popular till now), Maaya Sakamoto, Mikuni Shimokawa, and others that created an impact in the Anime scene.

Now taking a few days break from Anime, I started watching J-doramas (Japanese dramas). The current J-dorama I’m watching is titled, With Love. The 12 part TV series, I think, was shown in the late 90’s maybe between 1995-1999. Anyway, after hearing the opening song, I immediately liked it. With the help of the subtitle (since I can’t read Hiragana, Katakana, or Kanji) I was able to get the artist and title of the song. I could have ripped the song directly from the video, but I want the whole music and with a better quality.

With the help of Google search I was able to find the music. Unfortunately, the MP3 provided by some sites only have a low quality (read: mono) copy, while others only have the short version. Luckily, the music video was posted at YouTube. I was able to download the video, then extract the audio to MP3. But still I wasn’t satisfied with the audio since, you know what you get with Flash Video files, a stereo form of audio with mono quality.

Anyway, if any of you out there has a copy with a higher quality of the audio, at least 128 kbps (or higher) with real stereo format. Please give me a copy.

Here is the lyrics for the song (not official)

Anata wo kanjita nara
Omoi ga motto todoitara
Namida ga afureru koto
Tatta ima omoidaseta no

Kokoro kara no sain ga midareteru
Ryoukyoku ni yureru jibun wo warau
Tsujitsuma sae awaserarenakute
Sugite yuku hibi wo hodoite ita

Ima ga koko de mawaridasu
Chikazuku hodo ni tooku
Umi no you ni yureru kedo
Anata mo oyoideru nara
Kitto aeru unmei no toki ni

Yubi to yubi wo karamasete tsutau
Kono inochi no morosa utsukushisa wo
Kono sekai wa owattemo
Anata wo omoidaseba
Anata wo motto kanjireba
Namida ga afureru koto
Zutto zutto shitte ita no ni
Ai shiteru ai shite iru
Tada sono kotoba dake de

Chikazuku hodo ni tooku
Omoi wa mada yureru kedo
Anata wo dakishimereba
Anata wo motto kanjireba
Namida ga afureru koto
Zutto zutto shitte ita no ni
