Hatsukoi
Nintendo has an interesting ad campaign going on called Who Are You? If you haven’t seen the commercial yet, you can see it here [Nintendo link dead, youtube link instead]. There’s a song that plays during it, and I kinda like it. The song is called Hatsukoi by Mayumi Kojima. I’ll put it here for download temporarily.

good work on posting this song. i’ve been looking everywhere for it and had no luck. more people would be better to hear it. as for posting that stalin quote, he tortured and killed many millions of his own people and may very well win the “history’s worst human being ever” award. if this is in fact something he said then he either must have been keenly aware of himself and his actions, or this quote wins the “most ironic bumpersticker” award.

Thank you for your comments. I agree with you that Stalin was a terrible person. The quote was just something that applied to the people I deal with day to day, and had no purpose of stirring controversy or anything. Enjoy the song.

I’m ever so grateful that you posted this song. Upon first hearing the Super Mario Advance ad, I was awestruck by the beauty of this song. Thank you.

Thank you SO much for posting Hatsukoi! I’d been looking for it all over the place, I even tried downloading it off of LimeWire (the Mac equivalent to Kazaa/Napster) but I had no luck. Finally I just typed “Download Hatsukoi Mayumi Kojima” into Google and it brought this up and now I’m really happy I actually have it! Thank you so much, I’m going to tell others where this is posted.

I so thank you for posting this song. I wanted it from day one of the commercial airing and a friend keeps bugging me for it. It’s been a while since I heard some good J-pop/other music. This song just gets you the moment you hear it. Thanks again!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for the song (really helpful for those of us who like to stay clear of kazaa and the like). I have never heard of Hatsukoi ever; I didn’t even know the song in that commercial was real (and not some lil ditty some Marketing guy made). Once again, thank you soooo much! I will be looking into more of Hatsukoi’s works; and probably buying some CDs! ^_^

I was looking for a song in a Nintendo ad as well, and I was told to download this song. After much searching and no luck, I finally found the song here. But it wasn’t the song I was looking for! Thanks to you though, I restarted my search and found what I was looking for in the first place!
