Rip of the 1993 CD release from Teichiku Records Co.
Takashi Kokubo (小久保隆) released ten albums over the course of 1992-93 in what is called the «Ion Series». These ten albums were released in two five-album sub-series, one in 1992 and one in 1993. This album is the third part of the latter sub-series released in 1993, making it the eighth album in the Ion Series.
In 1924, Hachiko was brought to Tokyo by his owner Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo.
The bond between Hachiko and Mr. Ueno can only be described as unbreakable…
The two were inseparable and Hachiko even accompanied Mr. Ueno from his walk from home to the Shibuya train station where he would leave for work every single day.
Hachiko would unfailingly return the train station at the end of each day to welcome his master home.
But on May 1925 Professor Ueno suffered a stroke while he was at work and died soon after never to return to the train station…
Hachiko was waiting for his beloved master to return on that day as he always did before.
Soon after Mr. Uenos death Hachiko was given away but he would escape every day to return to the train station to wait for his master.
Day after day Hachiko returned to the train station until he eventually stopped leaving…
Some people who had seen Hachiko with his master were so touched by his devotion they started bringing food to nourish him during his wait…
The days turned to weeks… Months… Years…
After 10 years of waiting for his master at the train station Hachiko died with his gaze fixed upon the spot his master disappeared the very last time…
Today a statue stands in the spot where Hachiko waited his entire life for his masters return…

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true
Someday, I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
Thats where youll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why cant I?
Well, I see trees of green and red roses too
Ill watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
And also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do?
Theyre really saying I, I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
Theyll learn much more then well know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
World
Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
Thats where youll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why oh, why cant I?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

He was a skater boy.
She said, «See ya later, boy.»
He wasnt good enough for her.
Now hes a superstar
Slammin on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what hes worth?
