There is actually another japanese version sung by 岩崎宏美. A comeback for Prudence. Love it, love the lyrics.

Great song! Thank you for posting! Could you please include Hiromi Iwasaki's version?

岩崎宏美 - 友達の詩 5:16 from her album Natural!

Ataru Nakamura's version was way too long: 5:50 while Prudence' 4:40! So I believe Hiromi's inspired Prudence! If not I'll edit Ataru's!

Love them both, but prefer Prudence more!

I wish I have 岩崎宏美's version, I heard it once on youtube, and now I can't find it anymore.

Found the "original"-youtube one you heard (from the same poster "hirorin2011", I believe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyaowswwQPA):

岩崎宏美 - 友達の詩
http://www.nicozon.net/watch/sm7481320

浮花
主唱：劉美君
作曲：中村中
填詞：林夕
編曲：陳珀
監製：梁榮駿

From the 3 versions I love Prudence the most because 陳珀 and/or 梁榮駿 did an excellent job in the arrangements. The song was kind of constructed differently (the music from 3:09 to 3:34)! I've made an edit but had to omit that part to keep the song intact! Then Ataru Nakamura's (much better feel/emotions than Hiromi Iwasaki's)! That one is almost "heartless" in my opinion!

4:35 GL-Edit is on the way!

The youtube link you have is a different song (岩崎宏美　- この道). I don't remember who posted the song, I wasn't paying attention to that kind of detail anyway. Anyway, when I was browsing youtube a few months ago, there was a fanmade video for 岩崎宏美 - 友達の詩 album version, but it was deleted when I checked it again recently.

It was deleted! But before that someone must have put the "video" here (the full 5:20 album version):
