When I bought Noriko Sakai's album "work out fine", I fell in love with two songs in particular: this "O-Hayou no Fuukei" and "Shiawase ni Deau Houhou". It turns out they were both written by the same Fujita Emi and her (then) husband. Which was how I discovered another great Japanese performer, Le Couple. The lyrics are about how, after she breaks up with her boyfriend, the days are kind of the same as before, except he's not there. She sleepily starts to phone him when the alarm goes off in the morning, she looks for him on the train platform, she peruses a book in bed at night by the light of the TV, but he doesn't call. . . . . . . . 夕べのあなたのかなしい声が　降りしきる雨に似合いすぎてた
