Does this mean that the person remembered the person's face from seeing it
somewhere before this moment or that he had his face memorized just now? There
isn't context to it so I'm not sure. Can it go both ways?

question
tense
Kao wa oboeta: remembered or memorized?
覚える (oboeru) means _to memorize_ , 思い出す(omoidasu) means _to recall_. So the
sentence means "I memorized (at least) his face (just now)."

By the way, how come a sentence like this doesn't have a context? Is this a
song title or such?
