Midnight Sun

• Title: タイヨウのうた
• Title (romaji): Taiyou no Uta
• Title (english): A Song to the Sun

Story is based on the Hong Kong film Endless Love (A.K.A. C'est La Vie Mon Cheri, Xin Bu Liao Qing, New Endless Love, 新不了情)

Before I delve on 新不了情, let me first talk about Taiyou no Uta. The English title in Singapore is “Midnight Sun”. When I first heard the name, I actually fell in love with the name. It has the same effect as when I first heard “Night Rainbow”. That was in 2005.

Maybe I love paradoxical things. Maybe they are paradoxical in nature that is why they are beautiful to me. When I saw the opening of “Midnight Sun” in youtube, I actually love her life. Of course I am not asking myself to have her disease. I just like to lead a life out of ordinary. I love to travel at times where the buses are empty. I love to walk on streets that are empty. Thus I love my journey to work and school.

Of course I know saying is easy. I’m not ill so I do not know how sad it can be to avoid the sun. And I know in the female lead’s mind, all she wants is to lead an ordinary life. Human being forever feels the grass on the other side is greener. What I like about her is her strength. She secretly loves a guy and goes out to make friend with him. She does things without much consideration. Maybe she is young thus she can afford to be impulsive. But at least she leads a life which I believe she has no regret. She plays her guitar and sing to her heart’s content. YUI, who plays the female lead, has a similar characteristic too. Since young, she loves music and goes all out to fulfils her dreams. She writes songs, she releases singles. I believe she will go far because what she does, she does it for love.

While researching Taiyou no Uta. I found out that Taiyou means Sun. And that this movie was based on 新不了情. I can’t remember this movie already. It was made in 1994. The guy was a musician, the girl was a bubbly girl but she has leukemia if I’m not wrong. What I remember most vividly is the song.

新不了情　萬芳

作曲: 鮑比達

＊心若倦了 淚也乾了
這份深情 難捨難了
曾經擁有 天荒地老
已不見你 暮暮與朝朝

這一份情 永遠難了
願來生還能 再度擁抱
愛一個人 如何廝守到老
怎樣面對一切 我不知道 ＊

＃回憶過去 痛苦的相思忘不了
為何你還來 撥動我心跳
愛你怎麼能了 今夜的你應該明暸
緣難了 情難了 ＃

重唱 ＊＃＃

Such beautiful lyrics.

By the way, while searching 新不了情, I found something interesting. There is a book of the same name by the author 伊人 . Those who read Chinese novels will recognise this name. I kind of like the introduction on her on www.joyo.com.
