I think alan is just going to have to be my ballad person. I like Kanashimi wa Yuki ni Nemuru very much! Very sweet. Doesn't beat RED CLIFF for me. But it's my second favorite song by her so far lol.
Btw, I know
GRACE is going to kill me for this comparison, but the "whimsical" atmosphere of the song reminds me of crossroad. Probably why I like it so much!
Both songs sound like they could be a theme song for a fairy tale movie or something.
