One more time, One more chance PIANO ver.Yamazaki Masayoshi29rank/position

“One more time, One more chance,” the theme song of 5 Centimeters per Second.

Did you know that this deeply stirring song by Masayoshi Yamazaki is included on the soundtrack in a piano arrangement? This version is a clear departure from a simple piano cover, offering a mysterious feeling that differs from the original’s image.

Listening to this arrangement makes me feel as if I’m slowly sinking to the bottom of a cold, sorrowful sea, and I can’t help but shed tears.

Since it’s the same length as the original, I recommend closing your eyes and immersing yourself in its world for the five minutes it plays.

In this commercial for the Colt, developed jointly with DaimlerChrysler, the memorable narration says, “Japan and Germany gave it serious thought,” and it proudly highlights the freedom to choose exterior colors and features.

The background music is the classic “Over the Rainbow,” covered by artists worldwide.

For this particular CM, a vocal version by Masayoshi Yamazaki was selected.

His warm voice and the relaxed, swing-like arrangement are wonderful.
