J-Pop Video of the Day

Hey guys, this is usually RPGHero's segment but I felt like hijacking it for once (or twice). This song is for those who've grown up and left people and places behind in order to pursue their dreams.

"In a town far, far away

I'm doing fine

What's important is

both 'changing' and

'staying the same.' "

Tooku Tooku (Far Far Away) by Makihara Noriyuki

I want to give all my strength
And greet a shining day in this town
So that you’ll know how I’m getting on
Even if we're far, far apart

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the garden
They always are at this time of year
I remember the invisible snow storm of flowers
That danced on the platform at the Shinkansen station
It's like the 7-5-3 festival
Even this uncomfortable suit
Looks kind of good on me now
I've even gotten good at picking out ties

On my invite to the class reunion
I circled “Will not attend”
To all of you who wrote to me
Saying “I’m worried about whether you’re OK”

I want to give all my strength
And greet a shining day in this town
So that you’ll know how I’m getting on
Even if we're far, far apart

When you said “You can come back any time”
On the payphone at midnight
It made me smile
And that’s how I’ve managed to make it this far

No matter how high a tower I go up
I can’t see my hometown
I’m always holding in my heart
Something I can't lose

In a town far, far away
I’m doing well
What’s important
Is "changing"
And "staying the same"

On my invite to the class reunion
I circled “Will not attend”
Though I really want to see everyone's faces now
More than anything

I want to give all my strength
And greet a shining day in this town
So that you’ll know how I’m getting on
Even if we're far, far apart

Because I’ve decided that this town
Is where I can make my dreams come true.
