Song Hana...

One way that I pass the time with is searching for random Asian songs on YouTube. About 50% of the time, I can actually find some pretty decent songs. I conduct my search by typing in a keyword and just leave the rest to YouTube. For example, I often type "花," which means flower in both Chinese and Japanese, in the search box, and viola, pages upon page of songs containing the word "花" appear before my eyes. "花" is one of my most used words because a lot of Asian songs mention flowers in one way or another. Most of the time, the songs are very nice. But once in a while, some strange songs turn up. Okay, let's start with a nice one.

Title: Hana 

Singer: Natsukawa Rimi

Title: Hana (not the same song from above)

Singer: Atari Kousuke

Title: Qing Hua Ci
Singer: Jay Chou

Now, time for a weird one, called "Boku no Hana." This song is not strange in itself. What is slightly odd, and maybe creepy, about this song is the movie that it is in. "Boku no Hana" is from the Japanese movie called The Infectious Song, and "Boku no Hana" is the title infectious song. Why infectious? Well, the song is nice and simple, and very catchy. Unfortunately, in the movie exists an urban legend that is one sings this song, one will commit   suicide (don't worry the legend is NOT true). I never saw the movie, so I don't what happened in the end. I only know that this song is hauntingly (maybe I shouldn't use this word) beautiful.

"Boku no Hana" is posted below, but if you are frightened by these kind of things, please DO NOT listen to it. If not, you can listen to it below (once again, the legend from the movie is...well, a legend from a movie, people on YouTube have posted themselves singing this and they are alright). You have been warned.
