This Japanese movie (Sweet Rain 死神の精度) is coming to cinemas on 13th May. It’s basically talking about a Grim Reaper(Takeshi Kaneshiro) from Hell who comes up to the living world to claim his next soul. But he has a habit of spending 7 days with his victim then he decides whether to finish him/her or not. His next soul to claim is a girl (Konishi Manami) who works in the complaints department of a manufacturing company. A love tale spirals off from then….

This song featured in the movie is a singing debut of the actress herself using the name of the character she portrayed in the movie. Quite nice if you ask me. ^^ Dedicating it to someone who cause a taxi driver to get hit by a car.

What spilled out
Wasn’t a tear but a praying voice
What I looked up at
Was the sun above the clouds

I was living like I was asleep
I was always alone
Until the day I met you
I was always, always here

Even if there’s a love song
I could sing by myself
This warmth from the touch of your arms
Can’t be found alone

If I had put on a mask
Then I felt I might have forgotten
I shut away my memories
And locked them in a box

Even in that dark place
I was able to find you
Even if I can’t return
I’ll keep going farther, farther

Even if there’s a love song
That recalls loneliness
I can’t reach it alone
So I’ll walk out once more
Toward the door to tomorrow
With you…

I’ll transform sadness
Into kindness
And someday
Once I’ve set my true self free
The pain will disappear
I know it

I don’t need a love song
I can sing by myself anymore
I can’t find it alone
But with you I know
We can find a place where the sun shines
A tomorrow I’ve never seen
