heard a new single by one of my fav JPOP singer, Mika Nakashima...
it's titled "Sakurairo Mau Koro"
i downloaded the promotional video of the song....
and it hit me.....
hit me deeply.....
make me feel all emotional......
plus the mood of the song........
the video is about this boy and girl, they were what the chinese call "qing mei zhu ma"....
as in, they are growth up to be a couple....
then the video show them playing around this sakura tree.....
then it showed then grow up into teenagers....
but the girl was forced to leave the guy........
and they was forced to part..... at the sakura tree.... where they used to play....
the guy was left alone..... alone..... always waiting.... at the sakura tree where they used to play..... alone.....
even until the place surrounding the tree has been developed...... and the boy had grown up into an adult..... he is still waiting.... alone....
and one day..... workers came and wanted to cut down the tree..... he stopped them.... stopped them from cutting down the tree that they used to play at.....
and he did it!!! but still.... he waited... alone... for the girl to appear.... but no sign of hope......
he grew old...... and he is still waiting..... alone.....
and at the end of the video, it showed him having his imagination.... every single day where he waited.... that the girl will appear.... and they can happily be together.... just like before.... at the sakura tree.......
this video almost made me cry.... i have no idea why.... but its just so sad.....
can u imagine leaving someone u loved.... and waiting for her to re-appear.... but it didn't happen...... that is so sad.....
OMG, typing this blog entry already made my eyes wet.....
plus the song that i am playing... this very song..... which is about the love story of a boy and a girl...... where the boy waited forever.... for the girl to reappear..... waiting at the sakura tree where they used to play..... alone......
P.S.: I have uploaded the song onto my blog... for those who have speaker... u can listen to it... even if u don't understand japanese, just listen to the tune... and think of the story that i have told u......
XiaOMuN signing off.... wiping away the tears....... alone too.......
