This'll be making it a triple post, seems I'm the only one following the development of this single,

Well, here's the trailer of the upcoming movie, you can hear the song from about 1:05 (definitely it, says the title and artist/composer at the bottom of the screen when it starts). A lovely, sad, stripped down song, (not a showtune :-p). Reminds me of Carnation, Ichijuku no Hana etc.

Sayonara Valley- Trailer

Might be a bit too basic/non-intrusive for some, but I can dig the stripped back approach. Vocally, nothing special, but nothing grating either. I still want to hear the full thing.

The movie itself doesn't look horrible either, albeit it not really my thing. Cinematography looked gorgeous.

thanks for posting the video!I can't stop listening to it.

I desperately want to hear this performed by Ringo... I'd say this song reminds of Yume no Ato and other her songs that sound to me just like classical music pieces...(it's not only about piano arrangement,the composition itself sounds like that)

I only don't understand why she's giving her good songs to other "artists".

Because Ringo is really friendly, and likes giving nice songs to her friends? Apparently Ringo and Yoko Maki have been good friends for a while.

I would like to hear the whole song too. Sounds nice.
