When I heard that, I was beside myself, because I couldn't believe they were referencing a song that I had gone to painstaking lengths to research and locate many years ago, thanks to its inclusion in a single episode of Sailor Moon - when Yuuichirou (I believe his name is Chad in the English version), the guy that stays at Rei's shrine, gets caught up in a misunderstanding and almost leaves the shrine for good. It was in the third season, and I believe the episode number is 99. I had it on tape and listened to that song over and over until I could find out what it was and get a copy of it.

The mentioned scene, from the English version of Sailor Moon.

The song, in a live performance.

The titular "Azusa nigou" in the song refers to a train, I believe.

very good song
Aha, if it's famous, that would explain the reference. Still, it seemed quite the coincidence from my perspective.
