DREAMS COME TRUE - Aishiteru no Sign (50MB, for PSP/Quicktime) | Aishiteru no Sign (YouTube version) | Mirai Yosouzu II ~VERSION '07~ (YouTube version)
During the last few weeks of my Japanese trip this year, I kept hearing this song playing in several combini and department store. I didn't actually like the song right away but after a couple of repetition, I started to like it. I found out that the song is actually called A·i·shi·te·ru no Sign ~Watashitachi no Mirai Yosouzu~. Yeah, what a title. The fun thing is that this is a theme song for a film called Mirai Yosouzu ~A·i·shi·te·ru no Sign starring Matsushita Nao (Taiyou no Uta) and Takezai Terunosuke (Kamen Rider Blade). Personally, I don't think the two stars have much chemistry. It shows that simply putting two good-looking actors do not always produce chemistry. Moreover, the PV is extremely frothy. It's about a couple of people telling Matsushita's character how they usually express their love to their significant other. Oh well, the song is pretty good and while we're at it, I'll also recommend another song which comes in the same album called Mirai Yosouzu II ~VERSION '07~, to make things even more confusing.

Kanji/Kana version
ちゃんとあなたに 伝わってるかな?
ねぇ あなたとだから ここまで来れたの
ねぇ あなたとだから 未来を思えたの
どんな明日が待っているかは 誰にも分からない毎日を
あたりまえのように そばにいて
いろんな「今日」を 過ごして来たの だから
ちゃんとあなたに 伝わってるかな?
メット5回ぶつけたり ブレーキランプ踏んだり
ア・イ・シ・テ・ルって 伝えられてるかな?
ふたりの「今」が 「昨日」に変わる前に
ねぇ あなたとだから けんかもできるし
ねぇ あなたとだから わたしはここにいるの
思ったようにかなわない日も 不安だらけの日も 毎日を
あたりまえのように そばにいてくれて
あなたとの「今日」に 感謝している だから
ちゃんとあなたに 伝わってるかな?
花火振り回しながら ハートを5つ書いたり
ア・イ・シ・テ・ルって 伝えられてるかな?
ふたりの「今」が 「昨日」に変わる前に
ねぇ わたしたちの未来予想図は まだどこかへたどりつく途中
一緒にいるこんな毎日が 積み重なって描かれるの だから
ちゃんとあなたに 伝わってるかな?
おでこ5回ぶつけたり 何度もキスをしたり
ア・イ・シ・テ・ルって 伝えられてるかな?
ふたりの「今」が 「明日」に変わる時も
新しいサインが 増える時にも

Love Matsushita Nao. I've seen her pictures in many girls magazine.
Garten, only blogging one series this season? Gundam 00 isn't doing all that bad.
are you not following "ef-tale of memories"? i think you should have AT LEAST 2 series this year...
Hmm, I'm not that big fan of Gundam, I'm afraid. I'm thinking of doing Genshiken since at least that won't require long-ass summary. But it's been 3 episodes so far....
asd, what is ef-tale of memories is about?
ef is a boys-girls relationship anime that's, from what I've seen of the game preview and couple of episodes, actually NOT a harem. It's animated by SHAFT so you know to watch out for their weird ass style (but they did tone it down for this anime).
Watching it from the perspective of after playing the game, I think they cut out too much of the banter that made the game worth reading. Oh well, definitely worth trying out though.
You can get the preview of the anime, the game demo, and the game's OP animation all by direct download here: http://nnl1.com/ef/download.html
What I can say about ef is that it has music by Tenmon. Tenmon's mate Shinkai Makoto did the game's OP, unfortunately, I gather, he had nothing to do with the anime's production. The story seems to have about 4 plot lines going on all at once......
Beowulf Lee: that weird, melodramatic style came as a bit of a shock to me and I found it a bit unnecessary, all SHAFT animes are like that?
Garten: it won't bother me if your genshiken2 review is a bit late since I'm behind as well, I also found your genshiken1 review interesting to read even though I didn't watch it as it came out, then again I can't speak 4 every1. Will you finish the 3rd genshiken OVA though?
>>>Beowulf Lee: that weird, melodramatic style came as a bit of a shock to me and I found it a bit unnecessary, all SHAFT animes are like that?
Yes. The "postmodernist" (I don't know what else to call it) tones used in their other anime are much heavier. Take a look at their latest completed anime Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. It's worth watching for the first two episodes. After that, it goes down hill faster than you can say "ah-wha...?" (Which seems typical of SHAFT unfortunately.)
Clannad so far is just ok with me.. i'm watching it because, KyoAni and all those VAs..
but one anime that has risen at the top of my list is Minami-ke. Anybody else seen it? it's FUNNY.
Hey, also you might want to consider Kimikiss? It's directed by the same person that did honey & clover and nodame...so it might be interesting? =)
Nice song, dont really like the video.Ah well the song is really good.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RENTAL MAGICA THIS SEASON!
Not so confusing when you realize that 'ai shi teru no SIGN' is the way the two characters communicate 'I love you' (by tapping their helmets together when on a motor scooter, or touching the brakes when in a car [don't try this at home unless you want to get rear-ended]).
'Ai shi teru no Sign' is okay as DCT songs go- although it is doing very well in the Japanese music charts, they have many better- it is meant to be the third installment of 'Mirai Yosouzu', showing the progression in the character's lives.
I actually like the video better than the song by itself, since it tells the story.
