So I know this is kind of lame for some people... but I recently rewatched Digimon again because
I saw this on the KinKi Kids group. I can't believe it either!!! So I rewatched that ep as well and it's true!!! A KinKi Kids advertisement poster does show up in the episode. So crazzzy... It's Episode 33 of Digimon Adventure, the time they were walking around Shibuya looking for Patamon.
From the time I watched my first Digimon series in Japanese only before seeing the English, (which was Frontier by the way), my files date back to
2005. It's been such a long time.... yet I still love Digimon!! Those series will always have a place in my heart!! I rewatched some Adventure, Adventure 02, Tamers, and Frontier episodes and I still cried during some of the episodes... so sad... lol.
I recently got most of the episodes of Adventure and Adventure 02 series in Japanese. The sub group I got it from before never finished but I found a new group that subbed the DVD version of the entire collection of Adventure and Adventure 02!!! So happy!! Now I have season 1 in English (low quality) and Japanese (DVD) and Season 2 (DVD) in Japanese. Tamers is still being subbed which is sad because I think this is the series I really want to watch but didn't watch entirely really. I know how it ends and such but I don't know much details inbetweene.
Listening to the song and reading the lyrics of
"Brave Heart" by Miyazaki Ayumi (宮崎 歩) once again touches my heart... they are written very beautifully for a kids' series... it is the song that plays as an insert song for Digimon Adventure (Season 1) when digivolution occurs most of the time. (In the English version, they replaced it with the song
"Hey Digimon", which isn't as good as the one below but it's part of our childhood so it can't be bashed too much.) There are surprisingly a lot of encouraging songs in most of the Digimon seasons... I hope to post all the ones I like here one day. =) Like "With the Will", "3 Primary Colors" and "Butter-fly"!! I hope it at least encourages you,
meikimari! It made me think of you haha. =) However it still is a Digimon song.

逃げたりあきらめるコトは 誰も
一瞬あればできるから 歩き続けよう
Nigetari akirameru koto wa daremo
Isshun areba dekiru kara arukitsuzukeyou
- If given a second, anyone can give up and run
- So just keep on walking
君にしかできないコトがある 青い星に
光がなくせぬように
Kimi ni shika dekinai koto ga aru aoi hoshi ni
Hikari ga nakusenu you ni
- There's something only you can do
- So that this blue planet doesn't lose its light
つかめ! 描いた夢を
まもれ! 大事な友を
たくましい自分になれるさ
知らないパワーが宿る ハートに火がついたら
どんな願いも 嘘じゃない
きっとかなうから…show me your brave heart
Tsukame! egaita yume wo
Mamore! daiji na tomo wo
Takumashii jibun ni nareru sa
Shiranai pawaa ga yadoru haato ni hi ga tsuitara
Donna negai mo uso ja nai
Kitto kanau kara... show me your brave heart
- Seize the dreams you had!
- Protect your beloved friends!
- You can become stronger
- Unknown power dwells in your heart, when its fire is lit
- Any wish, it's true
- Will surely be granted... show me your brave heart
晴れの日ばかりじゃないから たまに
冷たい雨もふるけれど 傘ひろげよう
Hare no hi bakari ja nai kara tama ni
Tsumetai ame mo furu keredo kasa hirogeyou
- Not every day is sunny, so sometimes
- Even though a cold rain is falling, just open your umbrella
生き方に地図なんかないけど だから自由
どこへだって行ける、君も
Ikikata ni chizu nanka nai kedo dakara jiyuu
Doko e datte yukeru, kimi mo
- There's no map of how to live, that's why we're free
- You can go anywhere
はしれ! 風より速く
めざせ! 空より遠く
新しい自分に逢えるさ
知らない勇気が眠る ハートに気がついたら
胸の中のどしゃ降りも
きっと止むから…show me your brave heart
Hashire! kaze yori hayaku
Mezase! sora yori tooku
Atarashii jibun ni aeru sa
Shiranai yuuki ga nemuru haato ni ki ga tsuitara
Mune no naka no doshaburi mo
Kitto yamu kara...show me your brave heart
- Run faster than the wind!
- Aim farther than the skies!
- You can meet a new you
- Unknown courage sleeps in your heart, and when you realize
- The downpour in your heart
- Will surely stop...show me your brave heart
つかめ! 眩しい明日を
まもれ! 愛する人を
たくましい自分になれるさ
こわせ! 弱気な君を
くずせ! ぶつかる壁を
熱い鼓動 武器になるから
believe in your heart
Tsukame! mabushii asu wo
Mamore! ai suru hito wo
Takumashii jibun ni nareru sa
Kowase! yowaki na kimi wo
Kuzuse! butsukaru kabe wo
Atsui kodou buki ni naru kara
Believe in your heart
- Seize the bright tomorrow!
- Protect the ones you love!
- You can become stronger
- Break that weak self!
- Destroy the walls blocking you!
- The warm beat of your heart will be your weapon
- Believe in your heart
