2006.08.30 Kaoru Amane Taiyou no uta 雨音薫 タイヨウのうた

slight deviation from my composer special~ this is a song I've fallen in love with over the past week or so: Kaoru Amane's "Taiyou no Uta"~

"Taiyou no Uta" is actually both a movie and a drama~ the movie stars one of the emerging young pop/rock singers in Japan, Yui, who is also one of my favourite singers:P the drama stars Erika Sawajiri (hopefully I got that right...), who broke out with the drama "1 Litre's Tear"~ I actually have the dvd at home but haven't found the time to watch it~ I should really settle down and watch the drama over the Christmas holiday!

"Taiyou no Uta" is an excellent single from Kaoru Amane, whose music style is similar to Yui or Michelle Branch's pop/rock style~ the rhythem and lyric is fairly catchy so after once or twice, you'll be able to sing or hum along with the tune too!

I am trying out a new service at http://www.musicwebtown.com , which allows you to upload and listen to music online! the service gives you 10GB of free space and also allows you to download songs into your IPOD! so make sure to open your speakers when you visit my page, as you'll hear the newest updates from the DJ from now on! no more clicking to listen online! (darn it! I take that back~ apparently the service is only compatible with firefox....it doesnt seem to work on IE ><) anyways, here's the single~ enjoy! (lyrics below)

what a cutie! more info about Kaoru Amane here: click me

タイヨウのうた

震えている私の手に　初めて君が触れて
優しい気持ち　暖かさに　やっと気付いたんだ
閉ざした窓開ければ　新しい風が吹いた

笑って　泣いて　君と出会えて
見える世界は輝き出した
向日葵揺れる　太陽の下で
感じていた　風を　日々を…

信じること迷うことも立ち止まることも全部
私が今ここで生きてる答えかもしれない
モノクロの毎日が色付いて行くように

笑って　泣いて　君と出会えて
続く未来は輝いていた
向日葵揺れる　太陽の下で
わたしのまま明日を歌うよ...

限りにない日々も
止まらない時間も
どれなけ愛せるかな
愛せるよね
君がいれば二人さえも
逸らさないで...

笑って　泣いて　君と出会えて
続く未来は輝いていた
向日葵揺れる　太陽の下で
わたしのまま明日を

ありがとう伝えたい今なら言えるよ
過ごした季節も忘れはしないよ
向日葵揺れるタイヨウのように
私のうた君を照らすよ...

私のまま・・・
君を・・・・
君を・・・
