Name that tune

Don't you hate it when you remember part of a song, but never enough to really look it up by? I've got that dilemma at the moment, but I'm hoping someone can suggest a song that fits what I've got in my head, so they can help me find it:

* Lyric: "I fell in love for the first time"
* Style: Pop, though at some point it seemed vaguely rap-ish (quick tempo)
* Singer: female

I know that's not a lot to go on, but I already tried Google and Yahoo! searches on my own and didn't come up with anything that seemed familiar. I think I may have heard the song in one of the dance movies I saw recently (Take The Lead?) but I'm not sure. Can anyone help?

ETA 3/5/07: The song was "Lovin' you" by Anna Tsuchiya, from her album ANNA inspi' NANA (BLACK STONES). It's no wonder I didn't find it on repeated searches of Google, iTunes, and other lyric sites; many of them don't make a point of hosting songs by Japanese artists-- even if the songs are entirely in English (Engrish, I should say).

For the curious, the lyrics ( are here )

So the lyrics don't make perfect sense, but I really like the song-- though I got the "genre" completely wrong, as it's meant to be punk rock and not really pop/rap/hip-hop.

Though for International NANA day on 07/07/07, I think I'd stand a better chance of singing one of OLIVIA inspi' REIRA songs rather than one of ANNA inspi' NANA songs. And let's not even get into Yuna Ito or Mika Nakashima. :P I recently ordered the new NANA BEST CD+DVD package from CDJapan, so I'm looking forward to finally owning all the songs I've only heard snippets of, or pieces of from the NANA anime.

Speaking of anime, I haven't kept up with NANA lately-- the Hana Yori Dango 2 drama has absorbed me almost completely. And I'm hoping Viz will come out with their release of Death Note soon, because I know I'm already way behind on that (and I refuse to download the pirated fansub versions after the announcement of their licensing was made; I may not like EVERYTHING Viz does, but they do a damn good job with the DN manga, so I'll hope for the same of their direct-download of the anime).

I've also got a bunch of (old) movies to watch, including "When Harry Met Sally" and "The Last Unicorn," plus some newer ones, like "At Noon," "Moonlight Mile," and a few others. And then there's the rest of TRICK-- season 1 (up to episode 6, I think), and all of Season 2 (which just finished downloading a few days ago).

Ah, so much I want to do, no time, no time...

[YGO] [Seto x Anzu] This Wish (Response for Guardian Kysra)

guardian_kysra requested a fic that either ended the day after MASH or 1 month, 2 days, and 5 hours before Family. Because MASH and Pop were intended to be companion pieces, and I've never had the inclination to flesh them out more, AND because her Family request had a much more specific timestamp, that's the one I'm working with. For those of you unfamiliar with "Family," one of my WIPs regarding Seto and Téa (and Téa essentially becoming a mother while still in high school), check out the fic here.

Because Kysra's got stellar timing, this fic takes place on New Year's Eve, prior to the start of Family, Chapter 1. For the record, I have no intention of working this into the fic itself; this is all-original, all-new. I don't think it'll have any huge bearing on the story, so think of it as sort of a Director's Cut version of the story's beginning.

[YGO] [Seto x Anzu] Just Because (Response for WinterWing3000)

I apologize for going out of order (geniusgirl, I swear yours is next!) but I write these as inspiration comes. Writing something after your request (1 week after "Eat Your Words, Beautiful") is pretty difficult, so I'm saving it for last.

In any case, winterwing3000 requested a fic that took place 2 weeks after the end of "Strains", my most 'subtle' Azureshipping piece to date. In fact, one could argue that there's really no Azureshipping in it at all. It just happens to STAR the two of them. You can be the judge after this. Replicating the style of "Strains" is no easy task, let me tell you...

In any case, I tried to do this one from Anzu's perspective (because "Strains" was from Seto's).

( Here's the music, get up and dance, yeah )
