A traditional Japanese sad song earthly life rising and falling while the moon and stars remain unchanged. Sung in Japanese, and included on the Japan release of "Songs From The Silver Screen" album.
I loved this song before and I love the version she made. The only problem for me is her accent lol but her voice is haunting and I think that feat the song perfectly
When I hear this song for the first time, I'm crying. A beautiful song I ever heard from the women singer in this world. Not only she have amazing vocal but she also have a beautiful lovely face. Such a sweet girl. She also the first ever singer that make me attracted in either Japan or world, music and songs. I always love and pray for her too always do her best in her life as wife, mother and singer. Wish her happiness. From Me to You.
This song should definitely be number one because she has such a beautiful voice and she is such a pretty women. I hope she does well in her music career. She is my inspiration because I want to become a singer/songwriter when I am older

Even though I know you won't be here"
