Feel My Heart (Eurobeat Mix)Every Little Thing

This is Every Little Thing’s “Fragile.” It’s also famous for being used on the TV show Ainori! The original track is of course wonderful, but what’s amazing is that even when it’s remixed into dance music like Eurobeat, it doesn’t lose any of its charm.
