I hate curry. I do not think it is food. This subject came up the other day with a friend who likes (or loves?) curry. Thus, when I saw an article in my feed reader from SoraNews24 about a new Japanese curry product, I had no choice but to read so I could pass it along. To my surprise, I found my own take-away in the article beyond curry bad. The article began by quoting a Japanese song Yume no Naka e. I know Yume no Nake e, but not because “a famous song by Japanese singer Yosui Inoue.” Instead, I know it because it was used as the ending song for Kare Kano, an anime which aired in 1998-99 and which earned my praise in a New Leaf Journal article (When real people ‘tell, don’t show”) and leaflet (Calling For a New Kare Kano Anime). You can watch one of the versions of the ending animation with the song here. I referenced the song and animation when discussing my pick for the best opening/ending sequence in anime in 2024, Makeine’s Love2000.
Yume no Nake e Reference Reminds of Kare Kano
“It’s often the case that when you stop looking for something, you find it.”
These are the lyrics from “Yume no Naka e”, a famous song by Japanese singer Yosui Inoue, and they rang true for our reporter Mr Sato recently when he finally came across a bizarre product he’d given up looking for — the Egg Curry Pan Sandwich.
