The Kantō region (関東地方 Kantō-chihō) is a geographical area of Honshu, the largest island of Japan. The region includes the Greater Tokyo Area and encompasses seven prefectures: Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, and Kanagawa. Within its boundaries, slightly more than 45 percent of the land area is the Kantō Plain. The rest consists of the hills and mountains that form the land borders. In official census count on October 1, 2010 by the Japan Statistics Bureau, the population was 42,607,376 amounting to approximately one third of the total population of Japan.

In the Pokémon franchise, a region named after Kantō is the first geographical setting of both the anime and the game series (it was featured in Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen, Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and HeartGold and SoulSilver).

WV 93: Hibari Misora - Kawa No Nagare No Youni


Japanese Lyrics:



English Lyrics:

I had other plans initially but wanted to go old and glam because is Kai's edition. I'm returning to my WV roots a little bit with a touching, potato-quality live performance of the song; it's one of the last performances she ever gave. Hoping you enjoy my debut from :kant:! xheart

A beautiful cover of the song:

Re: Kanto - WV 93 - Kawa No Nagare No Youni - Hibari Misora

Aw old and glam Calvin is my favourite Calvin to be honest. This is one of the best you've sent in recent times. That melody is just so lush and swoonable. I love how at the end of the first chorus it goes into a little instrumental version of it. Double the swoon. It's such a resplendent song and the melody has been in my head all week. I love itxheart It's so touching and full of a special something. So very beautiful. The song is everything. The Japanese and their emotions.. wow weee! This country has such a way with balladry.

And the Maritess Trosper cover is stunning as well.

Ahoy hoy, everyone! So the Semi 2 results kind of snuck up on me; it's been a SUPER busy week. For now, I'll give you the three songs for my 40th entry NF and a voting system; I'll embellish it later once all my papers are in :D

Oh! Yes, you're quite right, as they're not showing up in my list of sent items... I guess either I hit the wrong button before closing the tab or my internet died for a second or something. Just (re)sent them properly then.

You gave me a minor panic attack there for a second, since (as you'll see) it's a bit of a novel of a PM and I thought I might have lost it... but I bow down to my one true god, "Restore Auto-Saved Content" xshifty

I just realized that I closed my NF 6 hours early. I'm so sorry; my mind's a bit of a cluster at the moment. I fear that the damage is done a bit since I can't reopen it now really :/ Thank you to everyone for your patience and sorry about that.
