JAPAN – Entertainment. Female singer from the Philippines, Charice, eighteen years old, debuted her album and was ranked 8th in America. Her debut album in Japan (to be released 2010, July 7) contains Japanese pop singer Ayaka’s song “Mikazuki.”
On the 24th of May, in Tokyo Charice had her rehearsal for promoting her album and she showed everyone her ability to sing a famous song of Ayaka’s, “Mikazuki,” in English. She demonstrated her superb singing abilities with a wide vocal range and strong voice. And afterwards she said, “I love J-Pop, it’s amazing,” and smiled.

Ayaka: Mikazuki Song and Lyrics
When she was twelve years old, she uploaded her first video on YouTube and then received more than 13 million hits. After she performed on the popular American “Oprah Show,” she came to the attention of record producer David Foster, the same producer as Celine Dion. She could then debut and become known in America. The song “Mikazuki” is only available in Japan, but with Charice’s talent the chances are high that it will debut in America as well.

Track #16
(my attempt on transcribing the lyrics with the help of some Chasters
Ohhh… wooo …hooo….
We always were together
Walking the same road, You and me like destiny
But then the path had parted,
You went down one road, and I went the other way
Loneliness, the feeling in my heart
Is all I have to hold today,
Looking at the sky that’s almost just about to cry
I have to say, but I can’t help but think of you
ohh…ohh…
I’m here beneath the night, and you’re not there,
No I won’t cry , won’t cry anymore.
Trying hard to live a life without you
Too peaceful, when I think about you… ohh …ohh…
Maybe, you’re seeing the same big sky
A crescent moon, fades into the night
‘Cause it might be bringing us together
You know I love you more than ever
ohh…ohh…
yeaa …yeaa …hey…yeaa
The days are getting colder (colder)
Keeping my hands warm by myself
Reality, I miss your arms so badly
Want you here with me, want you here with me
Even though you call me
And tell me how much you love me, I get blue (I get blue)
You know I wanna hear it,
But I really don’t like to lean on you
So I’ll wipe the tears away…
I’m here beneath the night, and you’re not there.
No I won’t cry , won’t cry anymore.
Trying hard to live a life without you
Too peaceful , when I think about you…ohh …ohh…
I wonder when I would see you again
Until that time again, I guess I’ll have to live
Feeling the power you gave me, When you hold me close
And said I’ll always love you, you know….ohhhh
Here beneath the night, and you’re not there.
No I won’t cry , can’t cry anymore.
Trying hard to live a life without you
Too peaceful, when I think about you.. ohh …ohh…
Maybe, you’re seeing the same big sky
A crescent moon, fades into the night
I believe in bringing us together (bringing us together)
You know I love you more than ever (I love you more than ever)
Holding up my hands, can you feel the pain?
I’m reaching out to you, Crescent moon…
(Crescent moon) h.mmmm…

thank you! That is a really nice lyrics page… nice to sing along by reading the romaji AND the English. There’s no way I would understand the word syllables otherwise. We included your link in the new article just posted.

As for her Philippine manager, she could ruin things for Charice is she opens her mouth to soon without making sure of the facts.

The article on
http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20100525-00000012-sph-ent
transcribed Charice into Katakana as ジャリ-ス、not ジャリ-ズ- . In Roman letters the first one reads Zyariisu and the second, Zyariizuu.
Also, the Yahoo Japan article refers to a video clip of a 12 year-old Charice on You Tube that garnered over 13 million views. It doesn’t say that Charice posted the clip herself. False Voice is not yet lost in the translation, just unnoticed at the moment.
Can’t wait for the album to get on the shelves. I assume Charice will come back to promote it like she did in Glorietta. If so, does anyone know the venue?
