is this an old song sang by aya matsuura??

[linux2001]

Moritaka Chisato is the ORIGINAL singer and writer of this song. This song was released in 1993, whereas Aya Matsuura remake of the song was done in 2004

Chisato's version has a faster beat. I think they are both good. Aya has a sweeter voice though and her version sounds more modern. At the climax of the song they both sound weak. It doesn't sound as dramatic as it seems it should.

Hi thanks for your comment but I think I'll have to disagree with the climax part. I think the "weakness" is what make Chisato's voice and singing unique. But then I'm biased, heh...

[GrapplerJMo]

a huge fraction of japanese music by females today isn't of this quality anymore =(. they rely more on technology and instruments and not pure talent. gone are the days of doco, moritaka chisato, koizumi kyoko, and the prime years of sakai noriko and kudo shizuka.

LOL! I thought aya matsuura is the original composer of this song ..

but damn! .. I love aya matsuura but .. wow the original is soooooooo much better

[jemilicee]

[jozefjoster]

[SesshyLover1585]

This is AMAZING!!! It reminds me of Yaguchi Mari (Well... would it be the other way since she came first?)

[Bulbasauur]

This is SO GOOD!!!

[rackiztahpunkiztah]

she's so pretty in all aspects!

[sophieyang1982]

she is great!!!! love it, thanks for sharing :D

[musicftw777]

i like ayaya's voice more but this version sounds better to me :/ this girl's amazing...she wrote the song, sang the song, and played the instrumental to this song :O

[plinkyboo]

Both of these singers have different rendation of this song, and both of them give justice as well, these are few Japanese singers i admire coz of the sweetness of their voices.....

[mdadnan]

Aya Matsuura or Moritaka Chisato, I would have married either one of them if I had a chance.........

[koisanjie]

@turtalako I also thought Aya was the original composer of this song. I happened to come across this version by chance. Glad I did. She's a wonderful singer and pretty, too.
