HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMUEL!

( I am about to be a total geek and nerdy writer for a minute. Please ignore if disinterested. Those very few of you that are fans of my characters and my writing, this cover of one of my favorite J-pop songs is remixed and remastered by a male utaite named Shiyu-zu, and is the closest thing I have found—that is sung in Japanese—to what Mr. Cleary sounds like when he sings. As if, for example, he was goofing off in a studio because he is bored, waiting for a friend that is a musician. Yes, I have been listening to this on repeat for the last three days. Thank you for humoring me.)
