Artist: Ayumi Hamasaki
Year: 2002
Why I like this song:
Back in 2004, I was friends with a woman who was keen on anime. She gifted me a cassette tape with a bunch of anime songs on it and this was on it.
A very beautiful song. At the time I had no idea what was being conveyed in the lyrics (damn language barrier!) but I could get the gist of it. And it was only later that I got to see it's parent anime, InuYasha, all the way through that I finally picked up on it.
So yeah, proof one can enjoy something even being unaware of the context. But that's what music should do, right?
