I just loved this song after hearing it in the mall last friday. It was the YuYu Hakusho "Ghost Fighter" opening theme song.
The music for the YuYu Hakusho anime adaptation was composed by Yusuke Honma. The series has one opening theme, "Hohoemi no Bakudan" (微笑みの爆弾, Smile Bomb) by Matsuko Mawatari, as well as five closing themes: "Homework ga Owaranai" (ホームワークが終わらない, Homework Never Ends), "Sayonara Bye Bye" (さよならbye bye, Goodbye Bye Bye) and "Daydream Generation" also by Mawatari; and "Unbalance na Kiss o Shite" (アンバランスなkissをして, Kissing the Unbalanced) and "Taiyō ga Mata Kagayaku Toki" (太陽がまた輝くとき, The Sun Is Shining Again) by Hiro Takahashi. When Funimation gained rights to the series, English language versions of each of these songs were produced and arranged by musician Carl Finch. The localized themes have vocals sung by Sara White, Stephanie Nadolny and Jerry Jewell.

machi no hitogomi kata ga butsukatte hitoribocchi
hatenai sougen kaze ga BYUNBYUN to hitoribocchi
docchi darou? nakitakunaru basho wa
futatsu MARU wo tsukete choppiri OTONA sa [1] | In a crowd on a city street, shoulders bumping, I'm alone
In an endless prairie, wind blowing hard, I'm alone
I wonder which is the place I'd want to cry?
Drawing two circles, I feel just a little grown-up. [1] |

MECHAMECHA kurushii kabe datte fui ni naze ka
buchikowasu yuuki to power waite kuru no wa
MECHAMECHA kibishii hito-tachi ga fui ni miseta
yasashisa no sei dattari suru n darou ne
A � RI � GA �TO � U � GO � ZA � I � masu! | Why does the gushing forth of courage and power
unexpectedly smash the extremely tortuous wall?
Perhaps it's because of the kindness
extremely stern people had unexpectedly shown.
T - h - a - n - k - Y - o - u! |

imamade nankai yoroshiku to genki ni sakenda darou
ima made nankai sayonara to naite wakareta darou
docchi darou? kurabete ooikazu wa
naka ni IKO-RU kaite choppiri OTONA sa | Wonder how many times we lively yelled "Nice to meet you"
Wonder how many times we parted, sobbing "Farewell."
Wonder which one is more, if I compare?
Writing an equals sign, I feel just a little grown-up. |

MECHAMECHA kanashii toki datte fui ni naze ka
norikoeru yuuki to power waite-kuru no wa
MECHAMECHA yasashii hito-tachi ga fui ni miseta
kibishisa no sei dattari suru n darou ne
A � RI � GA �TO � U � GO � ZA � I � masu! | Why does the gushing forth of courage and power
unexpectedly surpass even extremely sad times?
Perhaps it's because of the sternness
extremely kind people had unexpectedly shown.
T - h - a - n - k - Y - o - u! |

MECHAMECHA tanoshii toki datte wasurenai yo
itsu made mo yuuki to power nakusanai yo
MECHAMECHA hitoribocchi no hito ni ageru
kuchibiru no uragawa ni kakushite aru
HO � HO � E � MI � NO � BA � KU � DAN!
| I won't forget the really fun times.
I'll never lose this courage and power.
I'll give the extremely lonely person
something hiding behind my lips:
A - Smi - le - That's - A - Bomb! |
