One litre of tears related stuff:

Veoh video download website - a pretty good alternative to youtube, with some of the videos being of very high quality.. dvd like.. of course the corresponding loading time is longer.. but i think the search results are still not as relevant as youtube's..

Only human by K

哀しみ の 向こう 岸に
微笑み が ある という よ

哀しみ の 向こう 岸に
微笑み が ある という よ
辿り 着く その 先に は
何 が 僕ら を 待ってる

逃げる ため じゃ なく 夢 追う ため に
旅 に 出た はずさ 遠い 夏 の あの 日

明日 さえ 見えた なら ため 息 も ない けど
流れ に 逆らう 舟 の よう に
今 は 前 へ 進め

苦しみ の 尽きた 場所 に
幸せ が 待つ という よ
僕 は 未だ 探して いる
季節 はずれ の 向日葵

古武士 握り緊め 朝日 を 待てば
赤い 爪 後 に 涙 きらり 落ちる

孤独 に も 慣れた なら
月 灯り 頼り に
羽 鳴き 翼 で 飛び 発とう
もっと 前 へ 進め

雨雲 が 切れた なら
濡れた 道 輝く
闇 だけ が 教えて くれる
強い 強い 光
強く 前 へ 進め

English translation (from The Cherryblossom Garden):

On the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile

On the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile
But before we can go there,
is there something we’re waiting for?

In order to chase our dreams, we can’t have a reason to run away
We’ve got to go, to that far away summer’s day

If we find it tomorrow, we can’t sigh
Because like a boat that opposes the stream
we have to walk straight on

In a place worn down by sadness
something called a miracle, is waiting
Yet we are still searching
for the sunflower that grows at the end of spring

The warrior who awaits the morning light
before he can clasp it with red nails, his tears glitter and fall

Even if we’ve grown used to loneliness
only relying on the light of the moon
We have to fly away with featherless wing
just go foward, just a little further

As the rainclouds break
the wet streets sparkling
Although it brings only darkness
A powerful, powerful light
helps push us to walk on

p.s. not entirely sure if e jap lyrics are correct, but it shouldn't be far off the mark.. will check up with my jap-eng dictionary when i have e time.. e spacing of e jap lyrics were done with reference to tt found in e cherryblossom garden.. feel tt spacing it this way is a bit ugly, but it's easier for those new to e language i suppose..
