I first heard about this song in the Lost in Translation soundtrack that my sister purchased back in our high school days. It happens to be one of the best movie soundtracks out there along with Garden State, Juno, Serendipity and 500 Days of Summer, to name a few.

As I was skipping through tracks on my ipod for a song to keep me awake, I landed on "alone in Kyoto."
