Asian Kung Fu Generation
You gotta love this group - they're japanese, they're rock - 'nuf said :-P
This song was one of the recent opening themes for one of my favorite anime - Bleach. I find that the chorus is often looping in my head - it's just so catchy!
It's called "After Dark". Enjoy. Your Welcome.

Romaji Lyrics: (so you can sing along!)
Senaka no kage ga nobi kiru sono aima ni nigeru
Hagare ochita hane ni mo kizukazu ni tobu
Machikado amai nioi ryuusen
Tooku mukou kara
Dokoka de kiita youna nakigoe
Yokaze ga hakobu awai kibou wo nosete
Doko made yukeru ka
Sore wo kobamu youni sekai wa yurete subete wo ubaisaru
Yume nara sameta
Dakedo bokura wa mada nanimo shite inai
Susume
Mahiru no taida wo tachikiru youna soburi de ukabu
Umareochita kumo made miorosu youni tobu
Machikado chi no nioi ryuusen
Tooku mukou kara
Dokoka de kiita youna nakigoe
DORO DORO nagareru fukaku akai tsuki ga arawarete furareru sai
Detarame na hibi wo tachi kiri tai
Nanikuwanukao de owaranu youni
Yokaze ga hakobu awai kibou wo nosete
Doko made yukeru ka
Sore wo kobamu youni sekai wa yurete subete wo ubaisaru
Yume nara sameta
Dakedo bokura wa mada nanimo shite inai
Susume

The intervals between the back of my shadow are cutting off and breaking. They're running away.
I skip over the peeling flowers unnoticed as they fall down.
A sweet smelling fragrance flows out of a street corner.
And from far off in the distance I seem to hear a crying voice.
My faint hope is carried away in the night wind.
Won't it reach to anywhere?
As if refusing this world is swaying
And it's like everything snatched away
If this is a dream then I'll awaken however
We are still going without any accomplishments.
As if breaking off my midday laziness, I float upon my attitude
And fly as I try to look down upon newly formed cloud
There's the preferable smell of blood far off in the distant street corner
And I seem to hear a crying voice coming from everywhere
The deep redness flows thickly
And the moon appears to be on the verge of falling down
I want to get rid of these nonsensical days
So that I can continue with an innocent look
My faint hope is carried away in the night wind.
Won't it reach to anywhere?
As if refusing this world is swaying
And it's like everything snatched away
If this is a dream then I'll awaken however
We are still going without any accomplishments.

Those are some crazy wings. I wonder how much adhesive they used to attach it to his back? In my opinion, his wings were too small to carry himself and the window washer at the same time. But they sure looked real!

I concur. He needs to have the same wings like that boy from one of the X-Men movies (I think the last X-Men movie, if I'm correct) :-D
