I don't know why, but this song brings back memories of my mom, who passed away a couple of years ago. Though she died at the age of 71, she is still in her 30s in my recollection and I'm just a little boy. Good old days and carefree boyhood of mine. Awful lot of time has passed...

@derek4ur just enjoy the music!

[ghostcannon91]

My goodness, every time I listen to this the goosebumps just start riding all over me and the music takes control, leaving me with little choice but to enjoy. Truly inspirational.

@HelloKellen I am certain it has a meaning, (the title), which speaks volumes about the human story. I feel foolish for making fun of the title--and far worse for ever discounting Sakamoto as a talent in other comments, elsewhere--he's really brilliant.

Thought provoking use of language is a great tradition in the East, and valuable--by no means should we reduce language to the sophistication level of grocery lists and nothing else--

My original comment was like the sound of one hand clapping

[HelloKellen]

@derek4ur the title is translated from japanese quite literally. if you read it at a japanese view, its actually poetic and deep in meaning.

@Changyui Your comment makes me sad....hope you are at peace though.

@keyboardgurui "Minimum notes change air to memories" - wow Keyboardguru - that is beautiful. So, Ryuichi, is this piece. Makes me remember my happy child hood days, (even though today is the first time I have heard it), makes me dream of romance, makes me dream of Hollywood romance from the early days, romance that older generations of times gone by share. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for making my world a more magical place tonight, as I listen to this.
