And of course, one of our members (raiu_9) managed to track down the book he has in the PV - http://ohgacktyoudidnt.livejournal.com/383856.html

I love this song. It's so beautiful and I love the mix of Western and Japanese instruments in the song.

It's a shame that to date, he's only performed it live once (IIRC - on Music Japan). I was trying to find the performance on YouTube or Daily Motion but no luck...

There it is.

Unless my hearing is bad, I think he went out of tune several times. Either the song is hard to sing (which would explain why he doesn't perform it live often), or he wasn't in top form that day.

I do believe he was quite sick at the time...but not 100% positive.

(Haha, pyroyale, you posted just as I was going to post mine. xD)

Anyway, yes, this song and I have a history. (*≧▽≦)

I don't remember how I first learned of this song, but I remember watching the Sengoku Mosuo preview video over and over and over and over again just so I could listen to the song, even ripping it onto my iPod. I also hoped and prayed to everything made out dark chocolate that it would end up being more than 3 minutes and 11 seconds long. At 6 minutes, and 36 seconds, I was very happy! xD ( ... )

I also really love this song because it fuses traditional and modern styles. It's a beautiful piece.

The song also brings back fond memories of the amazing time my friend and I had at one of his lives, since it was released in the same month.

It's such an amazing song. But the thing that REALLY does it (for me, at least) is YOU's RIDICULOUS violin solo. *SWOONS*

Hi dearies!! I'm not too much into balads, but, even having the risk of being considered as superficial (O_o) regarding the band members for the PV..., they just replaced the not-hotties or no-too-much hotties *gomen* by those ones, and, come on, YOU has hottiness enough for being in all PVs worldwide!!! I know, we all love Chacha but DuelJewel's Shun is .... Nightmare's Ni~ya on bass, and remarking OMGACKT.....Tsukasa... :3
thank you for this post again!! <3
