itsuka no sora - いつかの空 柴崎コウ

finally, i found it.  i have been looking for this music video for awhile now.  it was on one of the video tapes that Akemi made for me from Space Shower TV.  i think she has made around 7 tapes for me over the years.  they are my 宝のもの。i looked thru 3 tapes yesterday but finally found it this morning on the 4th tape. . .  it is nice to be on vacation with nothing to do but look for one song, one music video that keeps running thru my mind... sayonara, sayonara, anata ni aitai

(goodbye, goodbye, i want to see you again). . .

and to hear Kou Shibasaki singing this same song live (on youtube) click here.

hopefully it is just a coincidence that the video from yesterday also had a funeral in it.  the scene i added to yesterday's blog entry was from one of my all-time favorite movies called Maborosi (spoiler alert)(i think that was the first "spoiler alert" in any of my blogs, not that there is anything wrong with that).  i may check it out from the library today and watch it again.  there is something about it . . . perhaps it is my maboroshi  : )

now it is time to go for a walk to the beach.  looking to the east, it looks quite winter-like. if i feel up to it, i will walk to Redondo Beach library to see if they have any Inspector Morse dvds.  i think i watched them all when i was on my 3-year vacation from 2001-2004 but now that i have been to Oxford, i want to see them again.  i think John Thaw, the wonderful actor who played Inspector Morse died in 2002 from cancer.  and i think it is reading about him and his death that prompted me to watch his Inspector Morse character.  one episode was all it took.
