Week 4 Day 7 - 1/3

And we're at the final day of the week. It's been almost a month since I started this project now. Well to keep things going strong, I shall now finish the week off with a post by Janne da Arc:-

Song: 1/3の純情な感情 by Janne da Arc
1/3 no junjou na kanjou (Trans: 1/3 of true feelings) by Janne da Arc



For those of you going "hang on, this wasn't by JdA!" I was just doing this for lolz.
Yea, this is a cover version by JdA, which I have on one of thier albums. I remembered seeing this on youtube sometime back, but now can't seem to find it.. so here I am.. using some dodgy embedment which I HOPE works well.
And here is the true original:-


(Note: I apologize for the Spanish/Portugeuse subs in the vid, but I couldn't find a clean one on youtube)

Song: 1/3の純情な感情 by SIAM Shade
1/3 no junjou na kanjou (Trans: 1/3 of true feelings) by SIAM Shade

Of course, as always, here's the original ED for the show Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X to some of you):-



And here's a couple of concert versions:-


(Note: V8 concert)


(Note: V4 Concert)

Lyrics are here. As well as an Instrumental/Karaoke version, for those who wants to sing along at home.

Some brief comments. This song is eternal, if I may say so. Since I heard it back in '99 (?), straight away loved it, took me some time to find that song out, and once I got it, never strayed from any of my main form of media ever since. A well-loved song by many I'm sure (especially, if I may say so, the best among all the other RuroKen songs), and obviously, SIAM Shade's most famous song. (The others are famous too, just that this one had wider audience)
Total play count for this song? I'm guessing at least a thousand minimum since i first heard it (then again, it has been 10 years)
Anyways, I now say good-bye to this week of the duo of Janne da Arc and SIAM Shade. I may revisit them in the future, but in the spirit of variety, I shall try not to (unless really really REALLY good songs turn up more)

Till tomorrow for a new week of songs, ciaoz

Note: Everlasting eternal song lasts eternally everlasting in media playlists
