There's one detail about Keiko Fuji's death really has me wondering. There's this old song. A folk song, I believe called 13階の女 (Woman of the 13th Floor) about a woman who contemplates suicide. I used to love the song but now I'm left feeling lukewarm about it. I wonder if Utada's heard it. Anyway, here's two versions of the song. I strongly recommend it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap-yZnyevZ8 (Version by Scanch) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDmAWIdv-mg (Version by Anzen Band) And for the sake of contemplation, these are the lyrics as translated by a Japanese friend. *she no longer has a choice but doing this: throwing herself from the 13th floor's roof.* She has been repeatedly deceived, she has hard luck. sometimes she thinks she has found a nice person but all the same at the end. (ends up being cheated again) *refrain She was forced into the mental hospital, it must be someone's (cunning) trick. there is no longer a person to trust in this world. *refrain But she hasn't jumped, people's clever but empty words 'don't kill yourself for now, anyways for any sake' *refrain 4times |
