It’s been two weeks since the announcement that Charice’s second album in Japan will be released on October 5, 2011. And now, we have a title for this special Japan-only album: “Infinity”.
A fitting title, right? There’s just too much potential for Charice as she’s just starting on her path to world super stardom – her career has no specific high point in sight yet and the possibilities are infinite.
The album artwork is also great: simple yet striking. Charice is wearing a black and white printed scarf, a studded black fedora, a knitted off-shoulder top, and black leggings (the Japanese stylists really did an amazing job). A large infinity symbol in transparent white is also a great alternative to the normal text titles in most albums.
The tracks included in her second album are:
Far As The Sky
Louder
New World
Before It Explodes
Lost The Best Thing
One Day
Never Always
Bounce Back
Lighthouse
Lesson For Life
Living It Up
The order of the songs are not yet final, but at least we know what the songs are. Most likely, this track list will be very different from her U.S. edition sophomore album.
“Infinity” is available for pre-order at Amazon Japan for ￥ 1,980. The album will be available on October 5, 2011. Charice’s second album is currently in number 633 in Amazon’s Bestseller list, while it’s number 16 in the RnB category.

Mozart was a prodigy with the ability to create music but only until he mastered playing instruments. He then became educated to learn and write music from talented mentors. This all began at around 4 years old and continuously progressed from then on.
Charice’s progression is much different but I suspect her genius talent lies on her ability to absorb the subtle notes of what she hears in songs and gifted with a rare vocal anatomic structure which was discovered by her mother around four years old.
I would add to the list a remarkable memory to render the songs she sings and what is more noteworthy is her ability to add creative value to the way she interprets them. Knowing what I learned from Mozart’s childhood is the ability to improve other composers’ work. He would listen to it once and he would play it back to his dad with a few or more altered notes that results to its heightened beauty. Eventually of course he opted to create his own pieces. Because he can and because there are stern people making sure that he does just that, such is the life of a prodigy during his time – hardly any playtime.
Charice’s talent does not solely rely on her vocal ability but in the combination of how her brain absorbs music and how her vocal apparatus delivers them. The result is why people like us talk about her.
I am sad that she was not afforded with similar support as Mozart did as a 4 year old. On the other hand, I’m glad that she is now enjoying the fruits of her labor considering the humble beginnings she has had.
Now she’s 19 years old, that may be a problem as far as creating her own songs. I’m sure she can create melodies because she’s aware of her vocal range. But to write lyrics with emotion might require a strong command of the english language or even with tagalong as it is used today. Remember also, that the music of today is marred with all types of sounds that has separated listeners worldwide.
Whereas, Mozart’s time in western europe, everyone was aiming for the same classical tune. I’m sure if Charice were to focus her efforts, she may well produce masterful pieces of her own. But from a practical stand point, I’m fine with masterful pieces from collaborative efforts from the best writers.
Words in a song are just words, but what makes them explode is the instrument that sets them off. The instrument is Charice.
I’m just a fan. Thanks for reading.

Anyway, I thought having Charice sing for mind-blowingly popular JRPG series was just wishful thinking–I winced when Square Enix chose Leona Lewis’s My Hands as the English theme song for Final Fantasy XIII (I actually liked My Hands, it’s just a bad fit for the game. Square Enix explained they didn’t have enough time (and maybe budget?) to get the Japanese theme song translated and sung.
Charice was only starting to get popular in Japan when FFXIII was released, and I had this crazy idea when I heard Kimi ga Irukara for the first time that she’ll be a good fit for it’s English version. FF theme songs have always been ‘birit’ songs. Easy peasy for Charice.
Anyway. This news only makes me more excited to get Final Fantasy XIII-2!
