Masayoshi Yamazaki – “One more time, One more chance” MUSIC VIDEO [4K Quality]

This song was the theme for Masayoshi Yamazaki’s first starring film, The Moon and a Cabbage, and ten years after its release it was chosen as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film 5 Centimeters per Second.

It sings of the sorrow and heartache of no longer being able to see a beloved person, and of the unwavering feelings that keep you thinking of them even after you’re apart.

It also matches the film’s story—two people who meet in elementary school are separated in junior high, and their loves and souls continue to wander—making it a moving, tear-jerking piece.
