ALWAYS (ALWAYS SUNSET ON THIRD STREET, 2005)

This is the one time I'll be posting a foreign movie theme. A lost friend once introduced me to this wonderful, wonderful japanese movie called Always Sunset On Third Street a.k.a. Always San-Chome No Yuhi (2005). Japanese band D-51 sang the theme 'Always'. Here's to him. Today's his birthday.

 

 

 

ALWAYS

sung by: D-51

 

Sora ni akaku tokete yuku taiyou hito mo machi mo somete
“Mata ashita” to te wo furu you ni yurayura yurete iru
Kaze ga hakonda yuushoku no nioi ni ukanda egao wa
Juwaki goshi yasashii koe wo kikasete kureru hito

Kodomo no goro mo ima mo kawarazu ni
Mune no naka kara boku wo tsutsumu yo

Ai wa kawara nai donna toki mo
Kokoro ni zutto iru kara
Ai wa owara nai bokura ga kitto
Uke tsuide yuku mono

Hito kara hito he nagareteku yasashisa boku ni mo todoite
Nakimushi kao egao ni kaeru fushigi na chikara dayo
Kokoro no oku no fukai tokoro de
Tsunagatte yuku atatakai mono

Ai wa tomara nai dokomade datte
Tsuduku yo zutto kono mama
Ai wa owara nai dareka ni sotto
Wakete agetai mono

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Shizumu yuuhi wa ashita wo tsurete
Koko he kanarazu modotte kuru yo

Ai wa kawara nai donna toki mo
Kokoro ni zutto iru kara
Ai wa owara nai bokura ga kitto
Uke tsuide yuku mono

Ai wa tomara nai dokomade datte
Tsuduku yo zutto kono mama
I always feel your love
Kokoro wa sotto akaku terasareta yo

(Whistle)

 

ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER (SKY HIGH, 2005)

Sky High may be deemed the live version of Disney-Pixar's hugely succesful The Incredibles. But one cannot compare with the other. Sky High soars as one of the most entertaining family adventure made in the cannon of Disney. It's funny, exciting and most of all, has a lesson to share, superhero or not. One of the songs heard during the party scene was One Thing Leads To Another by Steven Strait. Cool and catchy.

　

ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER

sung by: Steven Strait

　

My deception with tact

Just what are you trying to say

You’ve got a blank face which irritates

Communicate pull out your party piece

You see dimensions in two

State your case in black or white

And when one little bump

Leads to shock miss a beat

You run for cover so discreet

Why don’t they do what they say

Say what you mean

One thing leads to another

You told me something’s wrong

I know I listen too long but than

One thing leads to another

The impression that you sell

Passes in and out like a scent

But the long face that you see

Comes from living close to your fears

If this is up, than I’m up

Are you running out of sight

You see your name up in lights

And when one little bump

Leads to shock miss a beat

You run for cover in this heat

Why don’t they do what they say

Say what you mean

One thing leads to another

You told me something’s wrong

You know I listen too long but than

One thing leads to another yeah, yeah, yeah

(One thing, one thing…leads to another...)

And it’s easy to believe

That somebody’s been lying to me

But when the wrong word

Goes in the right ear

I know you’ve been lying to me

It’s getting rough, off the cuff

I’ve got to say enough’s enough

Bigger the harder he falls

But when the wrong antidote

Like a bulge on the throat

You run for cover in the heat

Why don’t they do what they say

Say what you mean

One thing leads to another

You told me something’s wrong

You know I listen too long but than

One thing leads to another yeah, yeah, yeah

(One thing, one thing…leads to another...)

　

　

CIRCLE OF LIFE (THE LION KING, 1994)

Arguably, the most successful animated film from Disney in recent years was The Lion King. The story centers around the life of a young lion prince named Simba, his journey to become the lion king. Sir Elton John sang one of his famous songs from the film's soundtrack, Circle Of Life. One of the biggest hits in box-office history, the animated family flick was recently being shown again in theaters in 3D.

CIRCLE OF LIFE

sung by: Elton John

From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There's more to be seen than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten

Some say live and let live

But all are agreed as they join the stampede

You should never take more than you give

In the circle of life

It's the wheel of fortune

It's the leap of faith

It's the band of hope

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside

And some of us soar to the stars

And some of us sail through our troubles

And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round
