This was the first song I connected with the name Akino Arai. I became an instant fan and have every one of her albums and singles that I've been able to get my hands on. For ten years I collected anime themes and soundtracks, something I'd might never have gotten into if I hadn't heard this song every weeknight for nearly three weeks back in January of 2001. It will always be a classic.
Same here. I ended up creating a fan site for her, getting some support from other fans on Audiogalaxy, then when Audiogalaxy went down, I just let the fan site go without maintenance for years. Oh well.
I've always loved this song. Used to sing it to my kids when they where babies. Just looked it up again after a few years, my son is having a hard time sleeping. Sang through it for him, out like a light!!! So thanks, and double thanks for the real translation!!!
