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


Is Keiko Fuji the original artist for this song?
