A post after a long hiatus... :-)
Well, actually I just want to post the song below for Eden, who will take her flight today (or tomorrow?) to start a new chapter in her life (oops, I make it sound so dramatic :-) ).
Anyway, if you happen to know Japanese (or can find a good translator out there to translate the lyrics to your language :-) ), you will wonder what's the lyrics got to do with embracing a new journey. Well, actually there's no relation, since the song was about a wife who found her husband cheating on her :-). However, I post this song for two reasons:
First, this is one of the theme songs of 魔女の宅急便 (Kiki's Delivery Service), and I know Eden like the movie.
Second, the song was played when Kiki, the heroine of the movie, took her flight to begin her witch training, completely in the same shoes as Eden right now.
So, I think it was a perfect song for her... :-)
By the way, the song was also featured in おっぱいバレー, and was played when the boys started their hard training to win the volleyball tournament (well, actually there's other reason for them to start training, but I'll let you see it yourself in the movie :-) ). That's why even though it's just a song, I like to listen to it when I was about to face a daunting task in front of me, since it helps lift my spirit up when I was feeling down. And now, when everything around me (including me) started to rebuild after the disaster, I think I could use it again to cheer me up...
You can listen to the song in youtube.
PS. about the おっぱいバレー movie, even though the title suggests otherwise (consult your translator if you don't know the meaning :-) ), it was basically a good and clean movie - like, there's only one kiss scene in the movie, and it was not shown directly - recommended movie if you haven't seen it yet.
あの人のママに会うために
今一人列車に乗ったの
たそがれ迫る街並みや車の流れ
横目で追い越して
あの人はもう気付く頃よ
バスルームにルージュの伝言
浮気な恋を早くあきらめない限り
家には帰らない
不安な気持ちを残したまま
街はディンドーン遠ざかってゆくわ
明日の朝ママから電話で
叱ってもらうわマイダーリン
あの人はあわててる頃よ
バスルームにルージュの伝言
手当たりしだい友達にたずねるかしら
私の行く先を
不安な気持ちを残したまま
街はディンドーン遠ざかってゆくわ
明日の朝ママから電話で
叱ってもらうわマイダーリン
(ルージュの伝言by荒井由実)
