       Terecia, that's the one you picked up.
       耳をすませば Mimi wo
       Sumaseba (Whisper of the Heart).
       The Japanese lyrics that you put above is the one that the main
       character, the girl, Shizuku made for the singing contest at her
       high school. Then she privately made the other cool one which I
       put above. Her boyfriend liked it.

       @everyone, thank you very much for the links, all very
       interesting examples!
       @Sofia, it's strange how differently these songs sound, I mean,
       emotionally. One of my favourite Soviet singers, Muslim
       Magomayev, sang this song, too (in Italian, but the last verses
       is in Russian):

       and I had never thought that the song was actually quite sad
       before I heard the original version.
       @Chizuko, can I ask you a question? Do you have a name for this
       kind of songs in Japanese:

       I mean, for something old-style, so to speak. I was trying to
       find more songs in this genre but didn't find many because I
       don't know what to call it...

       Kseniia
       It's the song of TV show, Gokusen. The genre is Enka. It usually
       has sad lyrics, then nowadays it's not popular that much, but I
       think people still like melody.
       For example, Click "Youtube" and you can watch it.
