Go-on (呉音, "sound from the Wu region") are one of the several possible ways of reading Japanese kanji. They are based on the classical pronunciations of Chinese characters of the then-prestigious eastern Jiankang (now Nanjing) dialect.
It preceded the kan-on (漢音) readings. Both go-on and kan-on exhibit characteristics of Middle Chinese.
Introduced to Japan during the 5th and 6th centuries, when China was divided into separate Northern and Southern dynasties, go-on readings are possibly imported either directly from the Southern dynasty or the Korean Peninsula. This explanation is based mainly on historical reasoning: there was an influx of thinkers from China and Korea to Japan at that time, including both Buddhist and Confucian practitioners. However, there is no historical documentation to conclusively demonstrate that go-on readings are actually based on southern Chinese.
That being said, Shibatani has noted that go-on readings make up the first of three waves of Chinese loans to the Japanese language, the others being kan-on and tou-sou-on (meaning Tang Song sound), with go-on mainly associated with Buddhism
Uverworld (stylized as UVERworld) is a Japanese rock band consisting of six members and originating from Kusatsu, Shiga. They have released eight studio albums and over twenty singles, most of them being successful. They have sold two million records worldwide.
The five-member band known as Uverworld first formed in 2003, and were known as Sound Goku Road, (more popularly known as "Sangoku Road" in the independent music scene). The band originally consisted of seven members, and released Prime'03, a demo CD which ended up selling 3,000 copies. Unfortunately, two of the band members, the saxophonist Seika, and Ryohei the second-man vocalist left. After Seika's departure Ace∞Trigger renamed himself Takuya∞ and the band renamed itself Uverworld.
According to an interview with the band there was another vocalist who left the band, however this vocalist hasn't yet been identified. It seems that this vocalist may have left the band quite some time before Seika did, as Seika is the only one of the two credited on the demo CD and pictured with very early live photos of the band pre-Uverworld.
"Go-On" is a Japanese-language song by Uverworld. It is the band's 13th single and was released on 5 August 2009. GO-ON is the 2nd ending theme of the drama, Dr. House. Go-On's Oricon Weekly Ranking is #2 and sold a total of 53k copies which is a little more than 恋いしくて which is a non tie-up. Despite this, the single was well received by fans and pretty much a solid single itself. The limited edition and regular comes with one of the 4 different stickers.
I visit my dreams
In the morning of night
And wake to half wishes
And the fall of the flight
I won't hid my hopes
In my down pillow
They'll become my river
And up them I'll flow
Right in broad daylight
In front of your eyes
My wishes are flowin'
But I'm their disguise
Over and over, think it slow
All things that grow
Need not be pretty
And don't have to show
We could be
Think it slow
Cause you got a secret for me
That I know
Not how to hang on to
Or how to let go
Can you keep me from drowning
In my down pillow
Oh! Please, I need help
Cause my deep down is low
Over and over, think it slow
All things that grow
Need not be pretty
And don't have to show
We could be
Think it slow
Cause you got a secret for me
That I know
Not how to hang on to
Or how to let go
Can you keep me from drowning
In my down pillow
Oh! Please, I need help
Cause my deep down is low
