Kawaranai Mono
'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time' was one of the most famous Japanese animated movies at that time. the main story line is about a girl who gains the ability to go through time. As the title may say, this talks about the importance of time and how you spend it. The theme song (OST) of this movie was Kawaranai Mono which can be directly translated as 'things that does not change' or 'unchanging things'.

kaerimichi fuzakete aruita wake mo naku kimi wo okoraseta ironna kimi no kao wo mitakattanda | We joked around on our way home. I made you angry for no reason. I guess I just wanted to see your different sides. |
ookina hitomi ga nakisou na koe ga ima mo boku no mune wo shimetsukeru surechigau hito no naka de kimi wo oikaketa | Your large eyes, your trembling voice, Even now they are close by my heart. In the crowd of strangers, I ran after you. |
kawaranai mono sagashiteita ano hi no kimi wo wasure wa shinai toki wo koeteku omoi ga aru boku wa ima sugu kimi ni aitai | I was searching for the things that never change. I will never forget how you were on that day. These feelings I have transcend time. I just want to meet you now. |
gaitou ni burasageta omoi itsumo kimi ni watasenakatta yoru wa bokutachi wo toozakete-itta ne | These feelings upon which the street lights shine, I could never manage to let you have them. The nights brought us further away from each other. |
mienai kokoro de uso tsuita koe ga ima mo boku no mune ni hibiteiru samayou toki no naka de kimi to koi wo shita | The lie you told through your opaque heart, Even now it continues to resonate within me. Uncertain of our future, you and I fell in love. |
kawaranai mono sagashiteita ano hi mitsuketa shiranai basho e kimi wo futari de yukeru no nara boku wa nando mo umarekawareru | I was searching for the things that never change. The unfamiliar place we found on that day, If the two of us can go there together again, I will be reborn as many times as it takes. |
katachi nai mono dakishimeteta kowareru oto mo kikoenai mama kimi to aruita onaji michi ni ima mo akari wa terashi-tsudzukeru | As I embrace the things that have no shape, I fail to hear the breaking sound. On the same path that we walked together, Even now the light continues to shine. |
kawaranai mono sagashiteita ano hi no kimi wo wasure wa shinai toki wo koeteku omoi ga aru boku wa ima sugu kimi ni aitai | I was searching for the things that never change. I will never forget how you were on that day. These feelings I have transcend time. I just want to meet you now. |
boku wa ima sugu kimi ni aitai | I just want to meet you now. |
People who saw this movie (which also includes me) can remind of the movie right away when this music is turned on. That's how this music was so influential during the movie itself. For me this is a music that I will never forget for it is one of the top ten musics I've liked the best until now.
