Jin 2's ending song, by dear Hirai Ken
May. 7th, 2011 12:49 amFinally, I get to start binging on my Jin 2 episodes. For season 2, the ending theme is by dear dearest Hirai Ken. It's of a different feel from season 1's Aitakute Ima, but the sense of wanting to meet a dear one again remains.
And because I love love Hirai Ken's voice (and his various performance of this song) so much, here are some videos.

I love the B&W concept, with Hirai standing in the middle of waves of people walking past him. It's like him standing in the midst off continual changes, whereby everyone is moving on while he remains fixated on his memories from the past. And then, towards the end, wash-out colours appear as he discovers that time has changed, but he still wishes to see his dear ones just once more.

I felt that he wasn't in his best condition for the high notes...if you compare this with the Music Station performance below. That one really captured me and was in fact the reason for this post.

His trademark high notes! <3 Strange that I love the part where his voice broke, and then returning stronger than ever in the subsequent line. I felt that the emotion of the song was best conveyed at that part.
