Ok, the idea was stolen from Colin and the name was stolen from Luka. I actually had this post already done, but because EE doesn’t have a auto save feature (which I wish they would make already), I’ve lost it all. Hopefully that will be implemented in a future version.

This week’s song is ELO’s Twilight, which was the intro song for the Japanese Dorama, Densha Otoko (Train Man). The opening scene to every show was an anime that was custom made for the show, and not part of any other anime that I know of. It had a feel like Galaxy Express 999, which is still one of my all time favourite anime.

Anyway, for those of you who don’t want to click on the wikipedia link I gave for the show, it’s basically about an Otaku who happens to win the love of a beautiful girl with the help of his friends on 2ch (Japanese), a very popular BBS in Japan. It’s supposedly based on a true story, but who Really knows nowadays how much was real and how much was made up.

Because of this, it seems like every time I hear this song, I get warm fuzzies, and I feel better. I’m a sucker for any cheesy movie, I blame the romantic inside of me that doesn’t seem to get out as much as it would like. Not to mention, this is a good song.

[UPDATED] Ok, so I found the intro for the Densha Otoko show and thought I’d place it in here. Click on the “show me more” to view it!

Electric Light Orchestra – Twilight

The visions dancing in my mind

The early dawn

The shades of time

Twilight crawling through my window pane

Am I awake or do I dream?

The strangest pictures I have seen

Night is day and twilight’s gone away

With your head held high

and your scarlet flies

You can’t help to be

from the open skies

It’s either real or it’s a dream

There’s nothing that is in between

Twilight

I only meant to stay a while

Twilight

I gave you time to steal my mind

Away from meeeeee

Across the light I saw your face

You disappeared without a trace

You brought me here but can you take me back

Inside the image of you light

What!

That now is day and once was night

What!

You leave me here and then you go away

It’s either real or its a dream

there’s nothing that is in between

TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!

I gave you time to steal my mind

Away from meeeeee

You brought me here but

can you take me back again

With your head held high

and your scarlet flies

You can’t help to be

from the open skies

It’s either real or it’s a dream

There’s nothing that is in between

TWILIGHT!

I only meant to stay awhile

TWILIGHT!

I gave you time to steal my mind

TWILIGHT!

I only meant to stay awhile

TWILIGHT!

I only meant to stay awhile
