Rain -- sung by Yuu in episode 32.
From CD "Marmalade Voice" track 3 (*).
(stereo, 44.1KHz, 16 bits, 3.5MB, coming soon)

Note: Kei plays the keyboard; Miwa plays the guitar.
This is supposed to be a "live" concert at a festival in Yuu's school. The original keyboardist burned his finger while cooking yakisoba and cannot play. Miki suggests that Kei plays his part since he can play the piano so well. So Kei substitutes at the last minute. There are 2 extensive "keyboard solos" towards the middle and ending of the song, which Kei supposedly improvises as he goes along.

Kei's monologue -- "Because I can't be gentle".
Kei-kun speaking on CD "Love Affairs", track 16.
Background music is the "ad-lib" song and another ad-lib song very similar to the first one.
(stereo, 44.1KHz, 16 bits, 2.3MB, 2:50 min, coming soon)
The following is the translation of the monologue from the Marmalade Boy guide:
"Right after I met Miki,
I noticed that I sat down in front of the piano.
The fingers began to move naturally and...
The sounds surprised me.
I had decided I wouldn't play the piano again.
Miki has a curious power..
To change people's minds, doesn't she.
Her big voice...mistakes...and smile, I watched.
She made me smile naturally.
I hadn't laughed so loudly for a long time.
When I met her for the first time,
I was attracted to her.
When I picked up her medallion,
I think I should've given it back to her,
...and asked her to be my girlfriend...gently.
But I didn't do that.

When I couldn't believe in anybody and left music,
I'd become more messed up than I thought.
But, her smile got into my mind and she changed me gradually.
Then I noticed that I couldn't forget her.
So I'll sit down in front of the piano.  It's my decision.
That's all I can do.
I'll play a melody for her.
The melody is melting into her body gradually.
And surely my music will color her mind.
So I'll play a melody now and forever...for her."

A small excerpt from "For You"

If your browser supports embedded audio features, you should see a control bar above this line.

(*) "Rain" has been modified by me to include a full instrumental ending at the end of the song. The original version found in MB CD3 fades out. The section added is taken from MB CD4 "Rain" instrumental version. Sorry for the little jump, but that's s o far the best I can do...
