Answer:
The Original Japanese Song Behind 红日 (Hung Yat)
Song Identity
The Japanese original of 李克勤’s (Hacken Lee’s) 红日 is titled 《それが大事》 (Sore ga Daiji), which means “That Is What Matters Most” in English.
The original singer is 立川俊之 (Tachikawa Toshiyuki), the soul figure of the Japanese band group 大事MANブラザーズバンド (Daiji MAN Brothers Band).
In 1991, Tachikawa Toshiyuki released それが大事. Then in 1992, Hacken Lee loved it so much that he rewrote the lyrics, purchased the rights, and renamed it 红日.
红日 became the theme song for the TVB drama He Came from Heaven and has since been regarded as a classic inspirational anthem.
