Chage and Aska

Yes, it is "Chage and Aska", not "Change and Ask her"... When i was studying in form 3, emmmm that was in 1991 when i was in the morning session, there was a Japanese Drama entitled "Say Yes". It was aired around 2pm and i used to watched it with mom. She loved it! Not that i want to watch the mellow drama, it was because there were no astro or internet or any special gadget at that time and we only have 3 TV channels, TV1, TV2 and TV3. I can say that i had no choice at that time. It was either to study or to relax while watching TV.
"Say Yes" was about a not so good looking guy, not so rich, worked at a couple matching industry i guess, whom fell in love with his own client, a beautiful musician from a well known Orchestra somewhere in Japan. It was just like the beauty and the beast, only this time, the beast would not turn into a charming Prince but he still remain as the beast. He is a middle age man while she is around early twenties like that. You can surf the youtube to find out more about it and i rated it 7 over 10 since there were no zombies in the drama, else i have to rate it higher.... hehehehe...

Below is the finale of the story where at least there is an unexpected fairy tale.... It was one of favourite drama since then...

Ok, talking about the group Chage and Aska, i didn't know that they were the one whom sang that song only when i was studying in Penang, that was in 1994, late Ps Esther brought us to Sunshine Square, a shopping complex in Penang. I dropped by to a music shop selling cassettes. At that time, there were no CD, VCD or DVD or Blue Ray yet, only a simple cassettes which cost more than RM20 for good quality items. So the shop owner was playing that song. It took my attention and immediately i bought the cassette even though i don't understand what the lyrics were all about since it was all, pure Japanese songs. Each day when i listen to it in my dorm, i realised that some of the songs are beautifully done. Besides Say Yes, there's another one became my favourite. Watch and enjoy the youtube below. It brought so much memory of my Penang life when i was there. In fact it is my favorite until now.
