It was in 2002. One morning I turned on TV before I went to work and heard this song introduced by a male announcer. He introduced it as the song currently hitting the charts in Okinawa, Japan. I was so moved by this song that I went to a nearby CD shop on the same day and bought a singlecut and an album “Minamikaze.” This tune has been a kind of my “soul song” since then.
I do agree with you! This is a song for our soul and the best song ever in my life. People who lost a loved one like me listen this song over and over while thinking about the loved one.
