Jupiter Japanese

Amazing, I was watching a rendition of 千の風になって on youtube, and then after the song, the female singer sang a song by the name of Jupiter, her pop version of the classical namesake. I was surprised, as I never knew there is a pop version of Gustav Holst's grand Jupiter from his famous orchestral suite: The Planets. Jupiter is one of two of my favourite movement from his suite; the other being the irresistibly powerful Mars. This rendition of 千の風になって is sung by Masafumi Akikawa and Hirahara Ayaka and the lyrics of the popular Japanese song had been posted in an earlier entry.
