Le Couple

Does anyone else like Le Couple, this Japanese group of two people (singer and guitarist)? I'm listening to my friend Kenji's CD now. Love this song, in both Japanese and English versions:

Hidamari no uta (Wishes)

I looked in the sky
And there I saw a star shining so bright above
I close my eyes and wish upon that star that I would find true love

Someone who needed me
Someone to share my life
For a love that would be true
I would wait forever

So no matter how long it may be
I will be waiting

One star brighter than the others
Two hearts beating for each other
I believe wishes will come true

Love at first sight
I knew it from the moment when you said hello
I hope you felt it too but we were both so shy
How was I to know

When you reached for my hand
I knew you were the one
We laughed and talked for hours
Like I've known you forever

Like a dream or something from above
True love has found me

One star brighter than the others
Two hearts beating for each other
Now I see wishes will come true

You just have to dream
Nothing is as bad as it seems to be
Believe me
Someone's waiting for you to try there in the sky

One star brighter than the others
Two hearts beating for each other
You will see wishes will come true

You can't stop believing
Wishes do come true
You gotta believe me
Wishes do come true

Very cool: Google Weblog: news on Google.
