One spring afternoon, Alec(character belongs to SteamAlec28 in DevianArt) was sitting playing with his recently received toy train, and one of his deepest dreams was to be a train engineer when he grew up!
That same afternoon he had learned how to use the radio and listened to a beautiful melody sung in English and Japanese titled "Make a Wish," and this song brought much comfort to his little heart!
Moved by the song, he made a wish and told himself that with effort on his part, studying at school and university...he would achieve it!
And suddenly Jirachi (the wish maker) appeared and told him to keep it up and never give up on what he wished most...and Alec whispered...I will!!!
About the animated film/song:

Lyrics in English and Japanese:
"When daytime turns to night
When the moon shines bright
When you're tucked in tight
When everything's all right
Slip softly to that place
Where secret thoughts run free
And there come face to face
With who you want to be
So swim across the ocean blue
Fly a rocket to the moon
You can change your life
Or you can change the world
Take a chance
Don't be afraid
Life is yours to live
Take a chance
And then the best is yet to come
Make a wish
It's up to you
Find the strength inside
Then watch your dreams come true
You don't need a shooting star
The magic's right there in your heart
Close your eyes
Believe
And make a wish
小さきもの それは私
私です まぎれなく
鏡の中 心細さだけが
誰にも負けない 明日になるよ
Chiisaki mono sore wa watashi
Watashi desu magirenaku
Kagami no naka kokorobososa dake ga
Dare ni mo makenai ashita ni naru yo The small one is me
We are each other
Looking in the mirror with just this helpless feeling
A tomorrow will come where I won't lose to anyone
そしてわたしは 幼い頃に
少しずつ戻ってゆく
意味も知らず歌う 恋の歌を
誉めてくれた あの日に
Soshite watashi wa osanai koro ni
Sukoshizutsu modotte yuku
Imi mo shirazu utau koi no uta wo
Homete kureta ano hi ni Like that, I return to my childhood
Little by little
To the days where you praised me for singing
The love songs which I didn't know the meaning to
空をあおげば
満ちてくる わたしの声が
さらさら 流る 風の中で君も
ふわり 舞い上がれ
Sora o aogeba
Michite kuru watashi no koe ga
Sarasara nagaru kaze no naka de kimi mo
Fuwari maiagare When I look up at the sky
My voice becomes full
In the wind that flows like a river
You should fly up
声が聞こえる
ゆくべき道 指さしている
さらさら流る 風の中でひとり
わたし うたっています
Koe ga kikoeru
Yuku beki michi yubi sashite iru
Sarasara nagaru kaze no naka de hitori
Watashi utatte imasu
I can hear the voices
They point to the road which I must go
In the wind that flows like a river
I sing alone
Ooh
I've always hoped for happiness
And finally fulfilled my wish
'Cause I just need
To see you smile
空をあおげば
Make a wish
It's up to you
満ちてくる 私の声が
Watch your dreams come true
さらさら 流る 風の中で君も
The magic's right there in your heart
ふわり 舞い上がれ
Believe
Sora o aogeba
Michite kuru watashi no koe ga
Sarasara nagaru kaze no naka de kimi mo
Fuwari maiagare
When I look up at the sky
My voice becomes full
In the wind that flows like a river
You should fly up too
Make a wish
It's up to you
Find the strength inside
Then watch your dreams come true
You don't need a shooting star
The magic's right there in your heart
Close your eyes
Believe
And make a wish
Ooh
Make a wish...!"
