Also this one, not the first song ever, but kind of captures my sense of Japan. Beautiful, but lonely -- the land of 'missed opportunity.'

:lol:
Most of their songs are like that (fast singing) until it gets to the chorus and it gets slightly more understandable.
I can only remember one song of them that is a slower type of ballad, so it's "easier" to follow, I think.
