Charice to Sing “Far as the Sky” Live for the 1st Time on August 9, 2011

8/11 UPDATE: FULL VIDEO WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES

The Japanese TV Drama Series “Bull Doctor” has been airing for almost a month now, and they are planning a new set of promotions that will push the ratings way up high.

Based on the information posted by Japan’s Warner Music Group on their official website, Charice will have two “Bull Doctor” related events in Japan this August 2011, while a third event will be all about her and David Foster.

スッキリ Charice to Sing Far as the Sky Live for the 1st Time on August 9, 2011Since the theme song of the series, “Far as the Sky” by Charice, shot up the charts and is now in 4th place, they’re trying to build on the momentum and promote the song to the max – so they’re bringing in the big guns, with a live performance from Charice.

She will be in Japan on August 9 to perform the song live for the first time ever. It will be aired on NTV’s show, “Freshen Up!” or popularly known in Japan as “Sukkiri!”.

Sukkiri! guesting, August 9, 2011

Charice headed straight to the airport from her appearance at the Teen Choice Awards 2011, Sunday night, to board a plane at LAX approximately midnight for the 12-hour flight to Japan. With Japan being 16 hours ahead of California time, she probably landed in Tokyo in the early morning hours Tuesday so that she could guest that same morning at the popular morning TV show. What an amazing schedule! Yet here she is, performing flawlessly with just a few hours sleep.

The first video is of the performance with slightly better sound quality than the second video which includes the complete interview as well as performance. During the interview portion following Charice’s performance, the interpreter translated the host exclaiming, she sounds just “like a CD!”

Another live performance of “Far as the Sky” will be done by Charice on Fuji Television Network’s show, “Mezamashi Live”, during Fuji TV’s famous summer event, “United States of Odaiba” on August 13.

Charice’s third appearance in Japan this August will be on NHK’s show titled, “SONGS”, which will be broadcast at 10:55 – 11:24 p.m. this August 31, 2011. Her music will be featured together with her collaboration with David Foster. Most likely, her appearance here will be taped in advance, as she’ll be performing on August 26 for KLUC’s End of Summer Block Party in Las Vegas.

Japan is really getting a good dose of Charice this August, and it’s the perfect medicine for their misfortunes earlier this year. And as Warner Japan said on their website, “Charice’s exciting voice is really a miracle!”

    1). To those who think she she is getting heavier and bigger, not true. She is fine and maturing maybe you need eye glases.
    2). To those who say there is no rice bowl in Japan. Not true.
    We have a rice bowl here and originated by Japanese for those who are bssy. Further the best rice cooker is made in Japan called “Tiger”. I both another brand then but not good, it burn instead of warming.
    3). Filipino like to create trouble like the two actreses in “Mara Clara” They say some are tryng to create friction between them. They are good freind like Charice and Lea. Anybody who work with her loves her.
    4). Poor people who are jealous of her because you are nobody.

    hello everyone,im a silent chaster since i was a university student.,i often follow charice through looking up videos in youtube and here in the community. im really a jpop fan but charice is my only exception as an idol. I really love it when she is performing in Japan. just this moment a read an interview about a new japanese idol group member being ask what his favorite music. i would like to it share to you, I got it from kisumaiph page in FB..

    to quite:
    SONGS 09.11] Senga Kento

    Q. Your favorite music
    Right now I really like Hata Motohiro’s ballads. If we’re talking about western music, it’d be CHARICE. I saw a documentary that showed how she grew up with poverty and how she became a singer because she admired Celine Dion. Her voice really touched me. I tend to like singers who have voices from which you can feel their stories.

    thank you very much..

    credits to the magazine..

      Are you talking about kiss-my-ft2 from Johnny’s Group? By the way I’m an Arashi fan and I really got excited when I heard that Charice will be debuting in Japan. I really love when she is performing in there because I’m always hoping that I will see her and Arashi guesting together on a Japanese show such as Music station. It will also be a great exposure for Charice to be a guest there..

    don’t bother getting InTouch magazine with the article about Lea Michele allegedly dissing Charice. Everyone knows that it’s a celebrity gossip magazine with as much credibility as the National Enquirer, known for spinning stories to sell the mag. I’m always amused when I read the headlines at the supermarket checkout stands. This particular edition cover story reads “Jen & Justin’s Shotgun Wedding – Pregnant Already?” (with an arrow pointing to her tummy lol) and “Ryan & Sandra’s Second Chance” [Reynolds & Bullocks, respectively). I’m not gonna waste my $$ on that trash.

    Lea Michele is a big fan of Charice, she tweeted about Charice several times to welcome her back to the show. I believe her admiration is sincere. It’s ridiculous to even give any story from InTouch a second thought. rumorfix has the real story . . .
    http://rumorfix.com/2011/08/is-glees-lea-michele-hating-on-charice/
    .

    P.S. I guess some of you have never heard of Japanese rice balls (onigiri). If you had, then you would have recognized that Charice’s answer was clearly “rice ball” which can be prepared different ways like sushi. Just google it.

      Yes, you are right, I have never heard of rice balls. Fish balls, yes, in the Chinatown district in Philly. @webmarketstrat has a video on how to prepare. I’ll check it out later.

      And yes, there are rice bowls served in Japanese fastfood stalls in Mall.

      You are also right that the magazine is basically like any other gossip magazine you see on checkout counters of groceries. The website’s articles prove it.

      Nothing’s wrong with any of her answers. The hosts and Charice enjoyed each other.

      I would’ve answered the same thing. Typically, when you go overseas the thing that would attract you most is the local food. Paris Hilton like Philippine food when she was asked according to PH news reports. When I visited Italy, I wanted to taste authentic Italian food. Get a life & travel and not get coup up in your crab pen as your comments lack substance and perspective. You need to hire an interpreter for the interpreter. LOL

      What kind of substantial reply should she have given Ms. Gmz? Her deep thoughts on the political situation in Japan? Perhaps give her opinion on how resilient the Japanese are after the tsunami and earthquake? Some deep musings on the character of the Japanee people? We already know Charice loves the Japanese people and vice versa and she’s always thanked them for having her on their shows. And what do you mean there is no rice ball in Japan!! You’re obviously not Asian. Every country that has rice as a staple (that mean’s all Asian countries) have some kind of rice ball. That question was wide open for interpretation. There’s obviously lots to like in Japan. It that was asked of me (and I’ve been to Japan) I might say I like Mt. Fuji and cherry blossom trees! So there!

            Granted your story would wash, it would still be a rumor and/or a commentary by rumor-mongers. It’s a story or a news article, it would have appeared online on their website as it’s signifant and would have appeared in many Hollywood websites. I guess you really believe that there’s a Wizard in Oz. LOL

        @pochie

        Really? I got to see this mag article. Dang, did Lea send Charice to a crack house? Lol. Interesting, just like the first Charice episode–this case, life imitating art…

        This is Lea’s, to my understanding, last year with Glee, in keeping with the storyline “realism” that she has to graduate from school. This is a good time to weave conspiracy theories and back scene dramas. Curiousity is further titillated if speculation is aligned with a facet of truth–that is, Lea’s last season with the show.

        Haven’t read the article but judging from what you say, this is a good way to hype Glee’s next season. Let’s just take the article’s content at face value. It’s good information but we can’t jump to conclusion.

        Oh, it’s good for the mag circulation too.

    Truth or rumor: Charice is going back to Glee? She didn’t say yes or no when asked in one of her TCA interviews. She said something to the effect that she was grateful for having been in Glee, neither confirming nor denying the question.

      According to Ryan Murphy which I read somewhere*, Glee won’t be inviting ANY guest stars for its 3rd season. But based on prior experience with Glee, things are not set in stone. So that means it’s a waiting game.

      * I didn’t bother to keep that link as Murphy always changes his mind midstream. Example, he said Charice would do at least 5 episodes but that was not the case.
