I don’t exactly do singles and/or greatest hits albums… but I’m tempted of getting the greatest hits in Deluxe edition… keep the DVD, and give the greatest hits to someone else — after ripping Raise Your Glass new track. LOL

Ah… English, such a direct language. I often have discussions with people about the nuances of the different languages. Friends tell me that French and Italian are great for flirting, and my mom keeps telling me that different dialects in Chinese have so many words to describe food flavors, impossible to describe in Spanish or English.
However, what about songs?
My favorite songs, my favorite artists in English — 99% of the time, I try not to find the lyrics any longer. Whenever I have enjoyed the songs, looked for the lyrics, 90% of the time I’ve ended up disappointed.
My first language is Spanish, however, I often find myself thinking in English – so, whenever I listen to music in Spanish, my brain begins translating lyrics into English. The repertoire of songs that I actually like in Spanish tend to be songs that are hard to translate literally into English.
I’m all over this. I usually love Diane Warren’s cheese… I mean, she did write I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing — the song most Aerosmith fans hate… but you know, it’s a great song. Especially to sing-not in Karaoke. LOL It’s the feeling. Liv Tyler is losing her dad to the asteroid! Please, cry! xD
I Miss U Missing Me is the first English song by Zhou Bichang… and Diane Warren’s first for an Asian artist (?) Has she written any other songs for anybody not from America or Europe? OMG, please let that be. xD
This one so needs to be the 2nd single.
This one > The Chinese/English version.

How
How I’m looking at the picture,
remembering the laughing and the tears,
all the moments throughout those years.
Sharing our fears,
waking up at 4 am. some days,
walking ’bout in a crazy haze
How would I’ve known
that I’d be so much in love
with someone I met so many years ago.
Where did you go?
I haven’t seen you, or heard you call-
We’re ten thousand miles apart or so.
How am I supposed to reach you?
Just taking apart my notebook. LOL’
If Only
I never thought that coming back
would take a piece of heart apart
and as time passed, each piece of heart
just started fading away.
I understood saying goodbyes
was always a part of this life,
but it’s never stopped this mind
thinking about the time, if only…
If only I hadn’t left,
if only I’d pass this test,
we’d still have the time.
One more summer, one last fall…
winter passes, springtime falls
One more cycle, life and death.
If only.
So I asked my friend Jose (no, forget the joSE… say like JOse… lol) and he said okay, so I am sharing.
One day, I was doing whatever I do at 3AM, and came up with a song that I titled Taking the Leap. No, I am not suicidal… Anyway, I liked how it turned out in my mind, but I’m musically talent-less, so I sent it to Jose, and he work with his music sutff that he does.
We are not PRO, obviously… we don’t have fancy software… just some freeware called Audacity, and some crappy web-mics recording in mono. Care to listen to it? MP3 listening, lyrics and download after the break.

When I watched Memories of Matsuko, there was one scene when Matsuko’s life was already going to the gutters, she was lying on the garbage bags, and she was watching TV. I immediately recognized the song as an Okaasan to Issho song… today I decided to look for it, and found it!
Okaasan to Issho 1999 song, at first I thought it was a Takoyaki Mambo song, but I was lucky enough to find it on a website listing all the songs. Video and Romaji after the break!

I noticed some of you have been looking for the soundtrack for Osen, I’ve blogged more about this soundtrack than other JDramas, so I thought it fair to get a sample for you to listen! The OST contains 22 tracks, not including the song of the intro (Odore, by Micro) or the closing song (Koi Uta, by Tackey & Tsubasa), but it IS a good Original Soundtrack with pieces by Yugo Kanno.
So I got 6 of my favorite tracks, and put them together with the opening and closing songs… for Osen’s MixTape!! xD
- Micro – Odore! – “Dance!”
- Yugo Kanno – Osen Main Theme
- Yugo Kanno – Tema wo Oshimazu – Effort is Valuable
- Yugo Kanno – Omotenashi no Kokoro – Heart’s Hospitality
- Yugo Kanno – Honmono wo Mirume – Discerning Eye for the Genuine
- Yugo Kanno – Noren wo Mamoru – Protect Reputation
- Yugo Kanno – Osen Main Theme (Ballad)
- Tackey & Tsubasa – Koi Uta – “Love Song”
So I was looking around the web for lyrics of WOW, the 2nd part of the 2-disc album by Bibi Chow, because I was listening to it last night, and on my search for it I ended up finding my own posts wondering about Bibi’s music. How lame is that? So I’ve decided to put that finding to good use and work on the lyrics of the album~ and if people seem to be interested in it, I might work on NOW (the 1st part of the 2-disc album) and her other lyrics…
Okay, so because I don’t speak or understand Chinese, please don’t ask for a translation… it takes enough time (20min if it’s easy) to figure out the right pinyin. Also, no automated-web translation postings… if you think of posting a translation in the comments, I hope it’s a translation job done by a person, otherwise it won’t get approved.
If you are posting the lyrics, please proper credit is appreciated, as well as a link back.
And if you’ve got corrections, please point them out… some of the songs are too fast for my ear… Here’s the link to the CHINESE lyrics.
