Thanks to Peggy for first sending me this song and telling me about 1 Liter of Tears, an excellent Japanese drama based on the dairies of a young woman with an incurable disease named Ayu Kato. You most certainly will be moved and cry buckets! But her story is in ultimately uplifting and inspiring. To the end, she continued to write and help others facing the same situation.

Morningberryz mentioned that 1 Liter of Tears had been fan subbed in English! (It hasn't been commercially released.) You have to register, but Kioku Konseki fan sub group has done an outstanding job of subbing all the episodes, including the Special of what happened after Ayu's death.
It's a lot to 'torrent, but well worth it! Burn it to DVD and share with your friends, if possible. Since you can't buy it, it's the only way for most people to see it!

Kanashimi no mukou kishi ni
Hohoemi ga aru to iu yo
Tadori tsuku sono saki ni wa
Nani ga bokura wo matteru?

Nigeru tame ja naku yume ou tame ni
Tabi ni deta hazusa tooi natsu no ano hi

Ashita sae mieta nara tame iki mo nai kedo
Nagare ni sakarau fune no you ni
Ima wa mae he susume

Kurushimi no tsukita basho ni
Shiawase ga matsu toiu yo
Boku wa mada sagashite iru
Kisetsu hazure no himawari

Kobushi nigirishime asahi wo mateba
Akai tsume ato ni namida kirari ochiru

Kodoku ni mo nareta nara
Tsuki akari tayori ni
Hane naki tsubasa de tobi tatou
Motto mae he susume

Amagumo ga kireta nara
Nureta michi kagayaku
Yami dake ga oshiete kureru
Tsuyoi tsuyoi hikari
Tsuyoku mae he susume

English translation from:  http://www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/635257.html

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 forward, 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  

This song by Miki Imai is one of MorningBerryz favorite J-pop songs, and that is good enough for me! :)

Imai Miki - Piece Of My Wish Lyrics

Doushite motto jibun ni sunao ni ikirenai no
Sonna omoi toikake nagara
Akiramenai de subete ga kuzure sou ni natte mo
Shinjiteite anata no koto o

Hontou wa dare mo ga negai o kanaetai no
Dakedo umaku yukanai toki mo aru wa

Kibou no kakera o te no hira ni atsumete
Ooki na yorokobi e to kaete yukou

Ai suru hito ya tomodachi ga yuuki zukete kureru yo
Sonna kotoba dakishime nagara
Dakedo saigo no kotae wa hitori de mitsukeru no ne
Meguri tsuzuku ashita no tame ni

Ame ni makenai kimochi o honoo mo kuguri nukeru
Sonna tsuyosa mochi tsuzuketai
Sore de mo itsuka subete ga kuzure sou ni natte mo
Shinjiteite anata no koto o
Shinjiteite hoshii anata no koto o

Even the nights I cried all night until the sun rose
I will have the power to stand up
Sun will rise and surround my heart
The fog will certainly disappear
Why can't I live a life being honest to my feelings?
With that thought lingering in my back of mind
Please don't give up even though everything may seem to be falling apart
Please let me believe in you.
--
Everyone just wants to fulfill their dreams
But sometimes it just doesn't work out

Take these fragments of hopes and put them in the palm of your head
And turn them into fond memories
Those we love and friends will always be there for you
Holding onto those words dearly
But the real answer must be found on our own
For each tomorrow that we are about to meet

Feelings that can not be beaten down by rain, I can overcome anything
I always want to have that conviction to believe in

Even if there are times everything seems to be falling apart
Please let me believe in you

I just want to believe in you

Wow! Celine and Yuna Ito (from the Nana movie) singing a duet in English and Japanese! Yuna is Japanese/Korean raised in Hawai'i. What a great talent! Celine heard her singing (My Heart Will Go On)on a Celine tribute album, and the rest, as they say is history.

Thanks so much Morningberryz for all the J-pop info and other things, especially letting me know about Yuna Ito. :) She is from Hawai'i and speaks Japanese.
