So what's your favorite song of theirs? Mine is "Sakura" along with "Hanabi" and "Blue Bird" If you've seen Naruto then you'll probably recognize some of these songs.

LOL, I had posted here before.

I listened to that song and it sounds good, but it didn't quite reach me. I have to listen to some of the other things they've done.
