Am winding down to a hectic day with this song...
Have been playing it over and over again, particularly this live version taken from the group live concert.
Why do I listen to it over and over again despite not understanding any Japanese (of course, except for arigato ) ??
Simply because; when you listen to the composition of this song is sort of lifting up your spirit, and I find the live rendering version of this song is full of depth, plus the tone of the lead singer is so mesmerizing. It was sort like I was taken deep into the 'journey', breezing through each obstacles and reaching for the skies. Owh, I seriously felt that and those translation that I found was kind of a true reflection of 'the journey' that I have taken with the song...
So, it proof that music is universal. A good composition would 'hit' you even if you don't understand the language and you get mesmerized by it.
Did you??
Anyway, enjoy it..
