Is it hard to find? You've looked in your bag, You've looked in your desk But you still can't find it. Are you still looking for it? Why don't you dance with me? Into the dream, Into the dream Wouldn't you like to go into there? Ufufu ufufu sahh You are not allowed to rest You're not allowed to laugh You're on the verge, on the verge, What exactly are you looking for? When you stop looking for Often you'll find what you're looking for Let's dance with me Wouldn't you like to go into your dreams? Ufufu ufufu sahh What is it that you are looking for? Are you still searching? More than that. Into the dream, Into the dream Wouldn't you like to go into dreams with me? Ufufu ufufu sahh When John Lennon was staying in Karuizawa, a famous summer resort in Japan, with Yoko, Yosui's original version song was often played as background music in the coffee shops of the time. It is said that John said he liked the song because it was a good tune.
Listening to this i keep recalling memories of cold, December evenings during my winter holiday break in small japanese town with my family... that never happened
