Arashi - Wish (MP4, 21.8MB, for PSP/Quicktime) - Reuploaded (21/11/05)

This is actually the OP theme of Hana Yori Dango live action. If you're interested to know more about the series, I'll suggest that you check out Ten's coverage of the series. This PV is basically sung by Arashi, a band whose members include Matsumoto Jun, who plays Doumyouji in the live action version of Hana Yori Dango, and Sakurai Shou, the actor who will be playing as Takemoto in the live action adaptation of Honey and Clover. The PV itself is about a painter who arrives in a town and falls in love with a girl. So he sets to win her heart even though he meets some challenges along the way. This is all done in Muppet-style animation and in general, the mood of the song feels a lot like a christmas song.

Hana Yori Dango OP Theme
Performed by Arashi

Kanji/Kana version

町に愛の歌流れ始めたら人々は寄り添い合う
輝きの中へ僕は君をきっと連れていって見せるよ

恋は届かない時を経験する内に
強くなってゆくものだね切ない胸さえ
君に似合いの男になるまでこの僕に
振り向いてはくれないみたいてきびしい君さ
すぎてく季節を美しいと思えこのころ
君がそこにいる体と知ったのさ今こそ伝えよう

町に愛の歌流れ始めたら人々は寄り添い合う
輝きの中へ僕は君をきっと連れていって見せるよ

優しい男になるおと試みてみたけど
君はそんな僕じゃまるでもの足りないんだね
風あたり強い坂道も登ってゆけばいい
二人で生きて行けるなら僕が君を守る誓おう

町に愛の歌流れ始めたら人々は微笑み合う
金のね響く特僕は君をきっと強く抱きしめている

町に愛の歌流れ始めたら人々は愛を語る
輝きの中へ僕は君をきっと連れていって見せるよ
君を愛し続ける

Romaji version

Machi ni ai no uta nagare hajimetara hitobito wa yorisoi au
Kagayaki no naka e boku wa kimi wo kitto tsurete itte miseru yo

Koi wa todokanai toki wo keiken suru uchi ni
Tsuyoku natte yuku mono da ne setsunai mune sae
Kimi ni niai no otoko ni naru made kono boku ni
Furimuite wa kurenai mitai tekibishii kimi sa
Sugiteku kisetsu wo utsukushii to omoe kono koro
Kimi ga soko ni iru karada to shitta no sa ima koso tsutaeyou

Machi ni ai no uta nagare hajimetara hitobito wa yorisoi au
Kagayaki no naka e boku wa kimi wo kitto tsurete itte miseru yo

Yasashii otoko ni narou oto kokoromite mita kedo
Kimi wa sonna boku ja marude mono tarinain da ne?
Kaze atari tsuyoi sakamichi mo nobotte yukeba ii
Futari de ikite yukeru nara boku ga kimi wo mamoru chikaou

Machi ni ai no uta nagare hajimetara hitobito wa hohoemi au
Kane no ne hibiku toki boku wa kimi wo kitto tsuyoku dakishimete iru

Machi ni ai no uta nagare hajimetara hitobito wa ai wo kataru
Kagayaki no naka e boku wa kimi wo kitto tsurete itte miseru yo
Kimi wo aishitsudzukeru

Ack, I almost died when I saw this PV. Thanks for sharing the file, btw. My HanaDan bug is eating away my sanity. I dislike boybands just on principle but watching this PV had me giggling like a schoolgirl (all because it's related to the drama). *scratches head* It's embarassing. Really. >___<

Oh, and MatsuJun is a member of Arashi. Wish is a catchy song, although I can't really tell if they actually have 'good' singing voices.

Oops, thank you for the correction Ten. And now I actually wonder if there is any Japanese actor/VA who actually doesn't sing.

PS: The better compressed version of the file is now up.

Thank you for the music video. I'm a big fan of Arashi so this is a nice surprise. Ninomiya-kun looks especially good here. :D

Ahhh I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Matsumoto Jun on memento XD. I was thinking "What the heck is he doing there on memento?" until I read Hana Yori Dango. *sigh* Sorry Garten -_- my composure is lost when I see that guy.

Anyway, thanks so much for sharing the video. That really made my day. I'm glad I started downloading this series the other day. Now I really can't wait to see it. I wish Matsujun was part of the Live action of Honey and Clover instead of Sho. Although I don't see which character he could really play -_-;

Does anyone know the name of the song in eps. #4 where Tskuasa starts punching people in the club/right before Shizuka takes off to Paris.
And the artist who sings it as well please.
I've been trying to find this song forever to no avail...
