J-pop turned RNB

It was just another Sunday morning. I haven't touched the radio in a while so I turned it on and I was suprised by a familiar J-pop tune but this one wasn't sung by anyone Japanese. It was Utada Hikaru's most popular single sung by Boyz-II-Men RNB style. I was ecstatic and couldn't help but share it here.



Boyz II Men – First Love Lyrics
[verse 1]
the last kiss we shared, tasted like a wine
sweet and bitter like, our memories
and i long for you to, come right back to me
tomorrow the time will be the same as today
nothing goes on in my heart except your memories
where will you be, and who will you think of…!

[chorus]
you were always gonna be my love
and you should know
even if i fall in love with somebody else
i’ll remember to love you taught me how
you were always gonna be the one
and for now, i’ll still be singing this love song
for… somebody like you
my first love…

[verse 2]
time after time, baby i tried to forget our life together
but the memories are so so hard to let go
tomorrow the time will be the same as today
trying to hold back the tears when thinking of you
all i want is to be with you once more…!

[chorus 2]
you will always be inside my heart
and you should know
that i wish that i could ever let you go
i know that i love you [?]
now and forever see the one
and for now, i’ll still be singing this love song
for… somebody like you
my first love…

[chorus]
you were always gonna be my love
and you should know
even if i fall in love with somebody else
i’ll remember to love you to hell
you were always gonna be the one
i’ll still be singing this love song
for… somebody like you
my first love…

This one is the original Video by Utada. I have to admit it's the first time I've seen it even though I've been listening to her songs for a decade now. Brings back a lot of memories.
