“30 Days With Charice” is a documentary by Emmy-award winning director Matthew Mills, cut into four-minute-episodes with new ones released every Wednesday and Friday on Teen.com.
Previous Episode
The fourth episode showed us how much Charice loves performing and interacting with her fans. After taking New York City by storm, Los Angeles was next on Charice’s list. She performed at the 13th annual Wango Tango by KIIS FM at the Staples Center. But before enchanting the crowd with her incredible voice and moves, she focused on her devoted Chasters – posing for photos and signing autographs and making sure that no one left empty-handed. After a fun and successful live performance with Iyaz of their no. 1 hit, Pyramid, the day’s not yet over for the hardworking Charice. She headed to the recording studio and started working on her cover of Ayaka Mikazuki’s “Crescent Moon”.
Charice Takes Japan
After crossing America from the east coast to the west, Charice is headed to another continent for a new round of album promotions – and we’re tagging along for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Charice’s first-ever trip to the amazing Tokyo, Japan.
Arriving at the Warner Music headquarters in Japan, Charice is greeted by applause from the warm Japanese crowd. Marc Johnston, her manager, comments that this is a special opportunity for Charice and it’s great being given top priority as she’s also Asian like the Japanese, and better yet, as Japan is the second largest music market in the whole world.
Charice immediately gets prepped for the showcase attended by who’s who in Japan’s music, print, TV, radio and online world. With make-up, hair, and sound check done, she’s ready (though understandably nervous) to win over the hard-to-impress Japanese. Johnston has full confidence that she’ll do wonderfully and quotes David Foster’s “laser beam” description of Charice.
After sharing her background and her road to being an international superstar discovered through YouTube, Charice belts out the David Foster-written “In This Song” which garnered applause and cheer from the audience. Fast one-on-ones with countless reporters and writers gave Charice the chance to express herself on who she is as an artist and as Charice said, “to get a sense of who I am and what I’m all about”.
After charming them with her courteous bows and memorized Japanese phrases, Charice seem so happy with the reaction they had about her talent and their excitement for her album release. She said their good feedback might be caused of her being also Asian, but who could even question that race-factor when she is actually the very first Asian to break into the top 10 in Billboard’s Top 200 album chart – of course, that’s really something to be proud of.
Day 2 in Tokyo means a photo shoot for Charice’s new album cover exclusive for the Japanese edition. Looking “really J-pop” with her white fedora, monochromatic outfit and iron-straight hair, she totally got the “it” look to pair with her already amazing voice. Even for those who can’t understand Japanese, the final album cover still makes you want to buy one because of Charice’s killer-stare that oozes superstar confidence. And it’s not only us Chasters who can sense Charice’s potential, 40-time Grammy Award nominee, David Foster, also sees the possibility that Charice will be the next world superstar, considering especially her huge following from the very populous Asia.
Episode 5: Charice flies to Japan to to meet the press and star in a special photo shoot

What’s Next?
Charice’s Asian country-hopping continues in episode six, and her stop? Her homeland, the Philippines! Her family has planned a little birthday party for her, but being the very generous soul that Charice is, she also decides to celebrate her birthday by performing for some disadvantaged children. Coming home is something that’s always memorable, and luckily, we get to see everything that needs to be seen this Friday in the sixth episode of “30 Days With Charice” at Teen.com.

My friends say “hidden bias” . Taboo and never discussed. They made a preety convincing case
Heard . With over 3 billion Asian people, only one ! ( Charice ) reached Top Ten Billboard ? Talent connected , the group think not .Where are the extra beautiful, talented Indian beauty queens ?
South American and African-Americans seem no problem. Its the
” Mold ” . They are fixtures of the scenery already and part of history and geography. Charice is destined to toil as she represent the converse , open the gates for Asians.What destiny !
Mixed bloods, Japanese, Pilipinos, Chinese and koreans in the ” mold ” seem to have fared better
Can not break it with the best talent , Management team and horrendous backing ? Has to be white or black to be good and score ?
Let us criss-cross China, Japan , Brazil, Portugal ,Korea and more.
These times are near , the bias is weakening Charice , and you will do it , the right person to do it.! The Americas are looking to the East today.
Webscribes , this sound racist and may even hurt Charice. But this is the way 15 people discussed it.

do you know utada hikaru? she already made it in usa but most people dont know..look at some of her achievements,She was described by Time Magazine as a “Diva On Campus,” a reference to her having attended Columbia University for a brief, career-break semester in 2000 she is 27 years old Utada is most well known in the West for making two theme song contributions to Square Enix and Disney’s collaborative video game series Kingdom Hearts: “Simple and Clean” (which is the re-written English version of her 10th Japanese single Hikari) for Kingdom Hearts and “Passion” for Kingdom Hearts II (later re-recorded with new English lyrics as “Sanctuary” for the North American and European releases of the game) In 2007, her single “Flavor of Life” reached number 2 in worldwide digital download yearly single chart with over 7.2 million downloads,and contributes to 12 million digital sales for her over the same year,Utada has had twelve number-one singles on the Oricon Singles chart, with two notable record achievements for a female solo or group artist: five million-sellers and four in the Top 100 All-Time Best-selling Singles. Utada has an estimated more than 52 million records sold in Japan only…my point is.. why charice is the first one to reach top 10 billboard? because shes the best ever from asia,she is the one and I think it will be very..very hard for future asians achieve what charice is doing now if someone ever comes that famous after her..time will tell if I’m right or wrong but I bet on my theory merry christmas and sorry about my english skills

Thanks for the comments TRUST.
Precisely . Ms. Utada , with all her talents never got to the mainstream of American music. The nearest Asian personality mentioned was Ms. Lea Salonga of the Philipines also , winner of Tony and Olivier Awards , Peoples Choice, Disney , the darling of West End London and Broadway. But this is still the theater.! Mulan I , the Lion King…she did not make it too ..and she is brilliant,confident and pretty. Strong arguments really.
But I agree 100 % with you. Never has there been anyone who can challenge Miriah, Witney, and Celine all at the same time , be alongside Justine Bieber , Britney ,Bruno Mars, Ne-O at 18 !
Such talent !
Unfortunately , she is one (1) in 3 billion today!
Had a difficult time arguing the converse.

Many Artist attempt to grace their market as far as recording is concern but most of them failed, but who ever made it came out big as a renowned Artist.
It seems that they can easily detect art, talent and triumph over a certain way.
Charice proved himself in Japanese market start with her beautiful voice, looks
(as Anime? well I guess), rag to riches type of story and being professional artist. Japanese is not just simply a fan; we can consider them as a sign that once they love you as an Artist, then you’re an Artist.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Eyes can see emotions and soul
Emotions can be translated into words
Words can be narrated into a Voice
Voice can be an interpret into Songs
And Songs is an expression with no exception
