First Love (Utada Hikaru)

If not for my eldest sister who's crazy about everything Japanese, including J-pop, perhaps I wouldn't have known this song (maybe eventually). I'm not fond of J-pop but how can not love this very touching song? It was love at first 'listen'.
I remember few years ago, me and a couple of friends (one of them Japanese) decided to go on an island tour. To accomodate that Japanese friend, we made a point to bring Utada's first album along the ride. Everyone had a good time singing to this tune, the amount of emotion displayed was unbelievable..lol! There after, this song became our must-sing during karaoke session.

Saigo no kisu wa
Tabako no flavor ga shita
Nigakute setsunai kaori

Ashita no imagoro niwa
Anata wa doki ni irun darou
Dare wo omotterun darou

You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made

Tachidomaru jikan ga
Ugokidasou to shiteru
Wasuretakunai koto bakari

Ashita no imagoro niwa
Watashi wa kitto naiteru
Anata wo omotterun darou

You will always be inside my heart
Itsumo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made

You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Mada kanashii love song
Now and forever

yeah, video produced there was yucky! hahaha, but that series (where the shots were taken) i find interesting, Kris...just don't have the patience to watch it on the tele every night, hahaha.

hmm..jessa saragosa, huh?! sounded ok, but am not really her fan. but i liked her hubby's songs, before. LoL...
i think i prefer the original singer, though most of the time i couldn't understand what she was saying! hehe, thanks for adding those lyrics, Kris!

this is a fun idea! ;))

Maiylah : Just googled Jessa, she looks elegant woman, I can guess her type of songs. Sentimental? hehehe..one of the album has a guy, wonder if that's her hubby? cute ;)
