Honda Minako 本田美奈子. For Ever For Ever (Video by KEN-san S16213K) br This video was uploaded by Kenichi Kurosawa-san (Ken-san as “S16213K”) in 2008 or early 2009. I believe that this was the first YouTube video of the song. This is the original video posted by KEN-san. The song was composed by Inoue Akira to the lyric written by Tokiko Iwatani. I believe it to be the most difficult song Honda Minako ever recorded because of the enormous power at the highest registers; most other singers would drop an octave. It is the title song of the album TOKI (meaning TimeWhenForever), released November 25, 2004, and produced by Hiroyuki Okano. It is also in several posthumous albums, all produced by Hiroyuki Okano for EMI-Japan. Honda Minako performed the song at a mini-concert on January 8, 2005 promoting the release of “TOKI.” br Lyrics br br The faraway sky and a wide ocean br You pass a border of them br The name must be Toki br The lonely trip without an end day br You pick us up and drift in space br Show courage and get over this time br With gentleness and love br Let’s live together to gather right power br Our life has the end br br The earth and a sky br You pass a border of them br The name must be Toki br The lonely trip without an end day br You pick us up and drift in space br Show courage and get over this time br With gentleness and love br Convey prayer br Give our world a sweet-smelling quiet day br Let’s live together to gather right power br Our life has the end br br Please help in the fight against Leukemia and other life-threatening diseases.
