One More Time, One More Chance

Yesterday night I saw a Japanese movie called "Five Centimeters per Second". It is a chain of short stories about two people in love but separated by distance. Really nice and touching piece of animation. I strongly recommend that you see it.

At the end, it had a song named "One More Time, One More Chance". This is a single from Japanese singer Masayoshi Yamazaki. I could not help reposting the lyrics in my blog post.

What else need I lose, before my heart will be forgiven?

What pain need I feel, before I can see you again?

One more time--I don't want the season to change

One more time--That time we spent joking together

I'm always searching, watching for a glimpse of you

On the opposite platform, in alleyway windows

Not that I could hope to find you there

If I could have any wish I would be with you now

There's nothing left that I won't do

I'd give everything just to hold you again

Anyone would do if I just wanted

To hold back my loneliness

But on a night like this

When the stars themselves seem like they might fall

I can't fool myself

One more time--I don't want the season to change

One more time--That time we spent joking together

I'm always searching, watching for your face

At intersections, in my dreams

Not that I could hope to find you there

Granted a miracle, I'd want to show you

A new morning, the person that I'm becoming

I'd finally tell you that I love you

I'm lost in memories of summer,

A pulse that fades to nothing

I'm always searching, watching for a glimpse of you

In the city at dawn, in Sakuragi-cho

Not that you would ever come here

There's nothing left that I won't do

I'd give everything I have just to hold you again

I'm always searching, watching for some part of you

In shops when I travel, in newspaper stories

Not that I could hope to find you there

Granted a miracle, I'd want to show you

A new morning, the person that I'm becoming

I'd finally tell you that I love you

I'm always searching, watching for your smile

At train crossings, waiting for the express to pass

Not that I could hope to find you there

If I could live over and over again, I would always go back to you

The most important thing of all

Here is the version directly from the movie 5 centimeters per second.
