My Selection

Origianl song composed by Koichi Sugiyama for video game, Dragon quest.

My chilhood (and of my friends, almost of all the boys in my generations, even many girls as well) was always accompanied and fully colored by the music of Koichi Sugiyama as well as the illustration of Akira Toriyama for the video game. Sadly, the both passed away recently. I cannot forget their great works nor stop my respects and thanks to them.

(By the way, I remastered this by increasing the volume up. See the link below. Unfortunately, some musical information might have been changed in the new version. So, personally, I still prerer this first version to the remastered version.)

The reason for remasring is that the roundness(or volume) of the first one was so small that you had to increase your volume up to liseten to. 
Now I think you can hear it with your normal volume level. 

HOWEVER, some mucical information might have been changed unexpectedly. So the details has changed very slightly but significantly for me.

Therefore, I prefer the original version at this moment, even if I have to get my volume up to hear it.

Two Stars

On the way home, 
walking down the hill, 
We threw our legs down 
We sat down on the edge,
the city spread out below us,
we weren't lovers, but you sat down first, 
we sat down next to each other, 
we threw our legs up, 
we lay down side by side, 
looking up at the dimly lit night sky, 

you asked me, 
"Those two stars you see over there, 
which one would you take?" 
"Wait a minute," I thought, 
I said, "We're not lovers, but just for now," 
I put my arm around you on my right, 
you said nothing. 
"I've decided," and I asked, 
"What about you," 
and you said, 
"I will take the right." 
"Oh, we're the same," I said. 
"I don't have any proof, though," 
I told you, we were the same. 
When I asked you why, 
you said, "I have my own direction, 
and I always choose the right," 
I said, "That's the direction that opens up your destiny,"
I agreed. 

You were shorter than me, 
so I thought you would pick the one that was easiest to reach. 
If you picked the same one, 
I would say it was the same, 
but if you picked the other, 
I might have said we got two. 

After a little chat, 
we both got up 
and headed back down the path 
to the right.
