Musical post

Here's a video of a song that I really like. It's called Sousei no Aquarion by AKINO, and it the opening song to an anime by the same name.



Interestingly enough, the chorus of the song goes as such

いちまんねんとにせんねんまえからあいしてる
はっせんねんすぎたころからもっとこいしくなった
いちおくとにせんねんあともあいしてる
きみをしったそのひからぼくのじごくにおんがくはたえない

I knew this song from a year or two ago, but I didn't know much Japanese then. Now after learning a bit, I can understand the lyrics a little more and a couple number related things stood out...

いちまんねん = 10,000 years
と = and
にせんねん = 2,000 years
いちまんねんとにせんねん = 12,000 years

はっせんねん = 8,000 years
いちおく = 100,000,000

This helped me study for the quiz the other day. ^_^
