With her Japan tour set to begin next month, a video trailer of Charice’s recent successful collaboration with Unique Zayas has been released.
The 2 min-54 sec video features Unique and Charice in studio recording “Wherever You Are,” the first single from Unique Zayas’ album “From Brooklyn To You.”
Footage was first ‘leaked’ to the public on YouTube in early December, with the album set for release on December 22, though it was later confirmed that Unique’s record label, Manhattan Records (Japan) has released it.
This video trailer was made available on the Facebook page of Manhattan Records (Japan) only at the weekend, but it’s the best video yet released of the duo in action in the studio.
“Wherever You Are” has had a good run of it in the iTunes Japan charts, with a No1 spot in the official iTunes RnB chart secured on January 12. It entered the RnB chart at No 9 on December 15, and (at the time of writing) is at No 3.
Of course, Charice has since gone on to establish herself in the charts, taking her own “Pyramid” to No 4 in the Oricon singles charts and her recording of John Lennon’s “Happy Christmas (War is Over)” to No 2. She’s earned a legion of new Chasters in the Land of the Rising Sun thanks to those successes and her performances on radio and TV.
With her first solo concert tour set to begin next month, the video is a reminder of one of the tracks that has helped to catapult her to the top of the Japan market.

Although this hit in Japan for some reason but didnt stay for long.
I remember Pyramid is surely a hit cause there’s a part or hymn that calls the listener’s attention and it makes you sing-along.
Also, from Philippines, when Aiza Seguerra (former child star turned into a ballader/soul singer), re-introduced from being an actress to singer, she was a hit on “Pagdating ng Panahon (When Time Comes)”. Even kids are singing and when I first heard it, I told to myself, “viola!”. This is very captivating.
That is why I understand why 2nd album is more of finger-snapping and tip-toe dancing songs and alike. I’m more than sure 2nd album will hit the BB bigtime. As in BIGTIME!!!
Charice is the next BIG DIVA! Watchout Chasters!

and just like Pyramid, this song heralds her name at the beginning of the song (although more prominently), just like a brand … and when they hear her beautiful voice and especially the effortless high sustained notes, they will know it will have delivered on the promise of the Charice brand … and they will also expect this to sound as good or even better when performed live, which she will deliver in spades …

Is Unique’s album available in the US? If he’s from Brooklyn why was the album launched in Japan and not here in the US? Robert Sheen, help because I don’t understand.

How to Nominate Albums for Grammys
By Lucosi Fuller, eHow Contributor
(from http://www.ehow.com/how_4796609_nominate-albums-grammys.html)
Have you ever wondered who casts the votes for the Grammys and how the votes are tallied? Have you ever loved an album so much that you wanted it to win a Grammy and it didn’t even make the list of finalists? Having your say in the Grammy nominations isn’t as far off as you may think it is. This article provides the steps that a person would take to nominate albums for the Grammys.
Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
1. Apply for a Recording Academy membership. There are three available membership types: student, associate and voting. Only voting members can nominate albums, so that’s the membership you want.
2. You need to have “creative or technical credit on a minimum of six tracks (or their equivalent) in at least one voting discipline and the album must have been commercially released in the United States” to qualify as a voting member. Credits that are not worthy of a voting member include executive producer, assistant producer, A&R and production coordinators. (Grammys.com) You can supply album liner notes or proof of album distribution to verify album credit.
3. If you are going through the Recording Academy’s new “digital qualification process,” you have two options for applying: digital distribution and member endorsement.
4. For digital distribution, you need a combination of four credentials, according to Grammys.com: credits on at least 12 tracks; a promotional website (unless you are not a performer); an album that can be bought by the public at a major online retailer; and some other proof that you are working in the music business or working toward a career in the music business.
5. For member endorsement, you can become a voting members by being endorsed by two voting members using the forms supplied by the Recording Academy director of membership and marketing.
6. Once you are approved as a Recording Academy member, you must pay membership dues of $100 for one year, $180 for two years and $260 for three years. You can also choose to get an 18-month membership. These cost $150 and are available only in January, February and March.
Nominating Albums
7. Cast votes on the ballot sent to you by the Academy and submit it to the Deloitte accounting firm for tallying. The Academy requires you to cast votes in the musical field in which you specialize. For example, if you have credits in Country music, you will only vote for albums in that genre. You can cast votes for Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best New Artist, in a maximum of nine fields out of 31.
8. Cast votes again in the final voting stage. This time you will vote in the same four categories of Best New Artist and Record, Album and Song of the Year. You can vote in a maximum of eight of the 31 fields. The ballots are shipped again to Deloitte for a secret vote count.
9. Wait for the winners to be announced at the annual televised Grammy Awards ceremony.

BIG Thumbs down. I wouldn’t want to take that honor away from Charice. We don’t have to cheat or go mafia-style just to get her a Grammy. In time, she will be recognized for her own talent.
