I’ve been knowing this song since i’m lil girl…as i can remember i was 12 yrs old that time???…i guess so..Koibito Yo by Mitsumi Itsuwa in 1980. Mayumi Itsuwa is very famous in Japan, and like many others, should be known more world wide. This song is about tragic love song, beautifully written, the story of a break-up where the woman is freezing on a park bench broken by rain, waiting for her lover to come back and laugh, that the talk of leaving was just a joke….i still seaeching for english translation…sad..until now still not manage to get one…its ok i got japanese lyric already…still i can sing along while listening to this song…i let my husband to listen to this song..and he like it also…n now he sing this song like been knowing it ages..hahah…funny..i tot me the one yang akan gila bayang with this song….tp hubby yg lebih²…but never mind…we enjoy this song together…the melody…aaarrggghhh ..so touching….
