I can hear Japanese perfectly and English all right but Japanese trying to speak English is sometimes hard even for me...

Anyway, what language is spoken in it? It sounds cool.

ya its sound cool and very romantic

i love it and want to find it

No the song is Japanese, what cranks said is that the question mark words weren't Japanese....and incidentally they turned out to be English (but sung by a Japanese person, hence why they were quite hard to decipher )

Written japanese can be categorised into three types. Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji. Katakana and hiragana are phonetic characters. So one character will represent the sound 'no' another will represent the sound 'ka', etc. Katakana is used for sounds and foreign loan words, hiragana is used for native japanese vocabulary. Kanji is adapted from Chinese characters (or Hanzi), and instead of representing phonetics, a kanji character represents an entire word.

So 空 is the Kanji for sky, 川 is river, 赤 is red, 木 is tree and 風 is wind. Kanji can be replaced by the phonetic sounds (hiragana).

So 空 is pronounced 'sora'. The hiragana for 'so' is そ and the hiragana for 'ra' is ら. So we can replace 空 with そら if we want. Similarly, 風 is pronounced 'kaze'. So we can replace it with the hiragana for 'ka' (か) and 'ze' (ぜ), giving かぜ.

As for katakana, an example would be ベースボール (be-subo-ru). When spoken, this sounds like baseball and is an english loan word. The lines indicate elongated phonetics.

If you're interested in learning Japanese, learn the hiragana and katakana first as there are only around 40 of each of these, so it shouldn't take too long to learn. Kanji however have loads as you can imagine, since there's lots of words to be represented!

曲名 旅立ちの前夜
歌 北原拓(taku kitahara) 作詞 白峰美津子(mitsuko siramine)
作曲/編曲 田中公平(kohei tanaka)

Sky　空に輝く星があるように
Hi?　たった一つの希望があった
Tree　赤く木の実が色づくように
Dream　たった一つの希望が叶う
さまよいながら果てしない時を超えるけれど
もう二度と帰れない思い出が
眠るやさしい場所へ

Blue　川が東へ流れるように
Hi?　たった一つの希望が消えた
Winds?Weeds?　風が小さな種を運んで
Dream　何時かすてきな希望と出会う
さよならそれは新しい出会い繋ぐ鎖
ああ愛が忘れない思い出が眠る眩しい季節

さよならそれは新しい出会い繋ぐ鎖
ああ熱いメロディを君に送りたい旅立つEvening?
ああ熱いメロディを君に送りたい旅立つEvening?


It is several places or cannot hear it.
My English is cruel
The translation of lyrics is impossible.
