what's in a name?
This is where I feature a character from an anime and explain their name meanings. If you'd like to request a name meaning, let me know! ^_^
Name: Yukimura Seiichi
Anime: Prince of Tennis
Meaning:
Yukimura is a wonderful character that has lots of potential... His name is quite fitting to his character as well. "Yuki" is the kanji
for peace or happiness, and "mura" means village. I think this reflects the serenity of his nature very well.
The more interesting part about his name is the fact that it stems from the historic Japanese war hero, Sanada Yukimura. A
brilliant tactician and expert in the art of war, he almost led a successful campaign against the then-shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. He is
ultimately betrayed and meets a tragic end. I think it's interesting indeed, that the powerhouse tennis team Rikkaidai's Captain (Yukimura)
and Vice Captain (Sanada) are named after this true life hero.
"Sei" means soul or life force. This of course, speaks to Yukimura's passionate feelings toward tennis, and his incredible
will to overcome his suffering to become greater than he is. Ichi is a common ending for a boy's name.

* Since Last Goodbye *
Since Last Goodbye - Lyrics translation
Tezuka Kunimitsu character single
This was one of the first Prince of Tennis character singles I really got into... And I have to say that I listened to it to death. I can never get enough of Tezuka's mellow, beautiful voice! This song is performed by Tezuka's excellent VA, Okiayu Ryoutarou (who currently plays Kuchiki Byakuya on Bleach).

Since Last Goodbye
So many seasons have passed
Since we left each other's side
Yet here I am now, gazing at you
This chance reunion
Came about with no warning...
A gift brought in on a gentle breeze
Last Goodbye
You speak of sad memories
With a smile on your face
Though you had always been
A cry baby before
"If we want to meet again,
Then it will happen"
You had said, as you cried
You have become so much stronger since then...
The early blooming flowers dance
On this tranquil day
And here I am now, gazing at you
I stand here listening to your voice,
Unable to call you by the name
I had used when we first met...
Last Goodbye
I only realized what I had after losing it
And the last lies I told
Bring me no comfort still
"If we want to meet again,
Then it will happen"
You said with a smile, as we parted
You have become so much stronger...
"If we want to meet again,
Then it will happen"
You had said, as you cried
You have become so much stronger since then...
