And So, I start the new year by cleaning up my hard disk, dumping old mp3 files and struggling to make my ancient powerbookG4 run faster… until I realized I was missing one of the most important things that has kept me alive for the past year. I had accidentally deleted the song “Tenshi no Bodyguard” by Yukiko Iwai from my computer! arggh, the cutest jpop song ever is now missing from my playlist! The song came out in 1987 and it launched Yukiko’s career in singing and voice acting. I realized the song had cuteness value when a Singaporean girl with an awful voice sang it during the JAS NHK Karaoke Cup and the Japanese judges gave her a ’special prize’ for cuteness and effort.

It’ll be a long time before I can find someone who sells old Jpop CDs so it’s a good thing youtube has a clip of the song =)
