Bleach Movie Theme Song

I just finished watching the Bleach movie - Memories of Nobody and it was certainly much better than expected. Don't get me wrong, I love Bleach - but because I'm currently watching the latest Bleach (anime - episode 143, manga - chapter 295), sometimes I feel that watching the older stories are not so nice. The other thing was that its other two OVAs weren't great - so expectation was less for this movie. Haha...I think I've downloaded this movie for months and it really slipped my mind while I watched other anime like Darker than Black and D.Gray Man.

In this movie, which was released in 2006, you get to watch a few of the Taicho fight - including Zaraki Kenpachi - albeit only for a very short time. Anyway, what I wanted to share is the theme song of this movie rather than the movie itself. The song is sung by Aqua Timez, titled Sen no Yoru wo Koete (千の夜をこえて - Beyond a Thousand Nights) and the single sold 58,417 copies in 2006. It's catchy...certainly got me downloading it:

Lyrics (sorry no translation ;p)

Aisaretai demo aisou to shinai
Sono kurikaeshi no naka wo samayotte
Boku ga mitsukatta kotae wa hitotsu kowakutatte kizutsuitatte
Suki na hito ni wa suki na tsutaerunda

Anata ga boku wo aishiteru ka aishitenai ka
Nante koto wa mou docchi demo ii n da
Donna ni negai nozomou ga
Kono sekai ni wa kaerareru mono ga takusan aru darou
Sou soshite boku ga anata wo aishiteru to iu jijitsu dake wa
Dare ni mo kaerareru shinjitsu dakara

Sen no yoru wo koete anata ni tsutaetai
Tsutaenaka naranai koto ga aru
Aisaretai demo aisou to shinai
Sono kurikaeshi no naka wo samayotte
Boku ga mitsukatta kotae wa hitotsu kowakutatte kizutsuitatte
Suki na hito ni wa suki tte tsutaeru n da
Kimochi wo kotoba ni suru no wa kowai yo demo
Suki na hito ni wa suki na tsutaeru n da

Kono hiroi sekai de meguri au yorokobi wo kotoba jya ii arawasenai ne
Dakara bokutachi wa hohoemi
Iro azayaka ni sugiru aki wo doremi de utatte
Fuyu wo se ni haru no komorebi wo machi
Atarashiku umare kawaru dareka wo mamoreru youni to

Kita michi to yukisaki furikaereba itsudemo okubyou na me wo shite ita boku
Mukiaitai demo sunao ni narenai
Massugu ni aite wo aisenai hibi wo
Kurikaeshite wa hitoribocchi wo iyagatte
Ano hi no boku wa mukizu na mama de hito wo aisou to shite ita

Sen no yoru wo koete ima anata ni ai ni yukou
Tsutaenaka naranai koto ga aru
Aisaretai demo aisou to shinai
Sono kurikaeshi no naka wo samayotte
Boku ga mitsukatta kotae wa hitotsu kowakutatte kizutsuitatte
Suki na hito ni wa suki na tsutaeru n da
Sono omoi ga kanawanakutatte suki na hito ni suki na tsutaeru
Sore wa kono sekai de ichiban suteki na koto sa

The opening theme for the current anime series (#6) - Alones - is also sung by Aqua Timez.
