OCT. 23 UPDATE: VIDEO ADDED (Far As The Sky)
During Charice’s last trip to Tokyo, she taped two episodes of the long-running Japanese music program “Music Fair”. The show is not only known for the singers and the songs, but it is renowned for the quality of the music, the beautiful imagery and fun conversation among the hosts and guests.
Her appearance on Music Fair reunites her with the popular Korean boy band CNBLUE. Charice first met them during her third appearance at the Korean talent show “Star King” last 2010. Long-time Chasters may remember how CNBLUE was blown away by Charice with her rendition of “One Moment In Time.” Watch their priceless reactions in this clip:
Charice Pempengco on Star King vol.4
The first episode will air on October 15 (Saturday) from 6:00 pm Japan time on Fuji TV. The airing of the second episode has not yet been officially announced but rumor has it that it will be aired on October 22, which translates to back-to-back appearances by Charice! Check back for videos and more information on the second appearance.

POSTING WAY TOO LATE in 2012…
Hmmmm… while I agree with some, I disagree with other. Some people like it and some people don’t. THAT’S OK. We’re humans, we’re allowed different opinions. It’s arrogance to assume that our own point of view is absolutely correct. Now, I’ll share my own arrogance and give my own opinion.
One Day MV: This video actually gave me mixed feelings. I was very excited listening to the Lyric Video they used to promote the album (and which I shamelessly used to promote Charice to everyone who listens…) and was very excited to hear that a music video is going out!!! Imagine that, Charice who’s done concerts hasn’t had an international music video. while even YT singers have their own videos to promote their songs. Final appearance of the video, the only part that really let me down was that yellow-blue ensemble along with her make-up (‘coz i PERSONALLY hate the yellow-blue couple) but otherwise it was a great video!!! I think its great because for a production of that budget, the video actually looked great and the resolution and lighting very clear and pleasing to MY eyes. If I compare that video to other artists — well, I don’t really, because I’m biased towards Charice and… that’s the end of that. I’m a poor student who’s saving all her money just to buy even one of her album and I’m happy to be able to watch her MV in YT free of charge.
One Day PV: While the styles are really sharp and very beautiful, I think the video’s presentation is more objective than the first. (Yes, this is biased because I watched the first video more and its just that Charice’s actions here are more “limited” than her first video and Charice LOVES to move. I’ve never even seen her just standing rigid, even when she’s sitting she’s all movement, music and glory). But this video is just apple candy and as I said, the more videos the better!!!
Louder MV: Many are saying that the video’s too fast, some not quite enough action. I who LOOOOVVEEESSS watching videos and is NO WAY an expert in music and directing or anything near those profession and is actually a bit tone deaf, actually LOVES the video. Sure, for me the speed is actually average, being young, I grew up with today’s music videos changing perspectives and wardrobes so fast and STILL KEEP UP with it and APPRECIATE the skill and effort to make those videos change views fluidly and in time with the beat. I’ve seen MANNNNYYYYY videos faster than that and it doesn’t bother me a lick. Some saying that there’s not enough dancing… well. there’s more dancing in the video than I’ve actually seen her do for a long while and she looks great while doing it too so I’ve got no complaints. People, be thankful that there’s even a music video. Don’t thank anything for granted, and don’t take Charice for granted. If you don’t like the video much, help scrunge funds and find people that YOU think can do a better job and help PAY them to make a music video. As I, a struggling college student, can’t even afford to BUY new singles, I’m not really complaining [much] about the videos. Just Hallelujah that YT exists as I find DailyMotion, Vimeo, Twitvid and JWplayer freaking hard to DL videos so I can enjoy them anywhere anytime.
Cheers to Charice, to those who support her (no matter how poor, how tone-deaf, how creepy and how possessive and obsessed we might be), to those who actually are able to buy her album and songs, to those who can attend her concerts, to people (like these admins) who dedicate their time to help increase Charice’s popularity, and to God whom many Christians pray!!! May Charice’s career continue despite “CHATERS —> [c]HA[s]TERS” (lol, chasters)!!!

“Me, I’m tired of thinking, talking, and reading about the clothes.”
so why the long comment? her outfit was not as terrible as you say. come here to tokyo and see half the population wearing a similar blouse. it is a matter of taste. what you think is “horrendous” is fashion forward to others.
why force your taste on charice?

By the way, to our beloved Charicemania why are there no videos from DFF Manila performance yet? I am just asking. I went to You tube and found some already. I know soon it will come up and it will be of quality and am looking forward to that. Thanks for all the hard work. Guys, we are all here because of Charice. Let’s just all be ONE united in spirit. Peace and sweet blessings to all!

Base on my observation Charice don’t like hitting high notes when she is sad or tired, which is understandable as she also needs some rests. But when she is in the mood, she likes hitting the high notes.
My suggestion for Charice: Stay happy and get more rests and relaxation. This will recharge her with more energy which is needed so she can take care of her voice and hit those high notes.

Charice explains in her second Rolling Stones Japan Video tape (see Charicemania Article) that she only listens to positive comments. Because there are always people who will not agree with her decisions, she depends only on professional advice.
Charice is following that advice as she explains in a thestar Online article “A Sexier Side” by Ian Yee.
Link: A sexier side http://bit.ly/o9qs00 via @addthis
“Belting high notes all the time is not good for the voice. So for me, I just try to limit it, but still try to sing the same songs that people love watching me sing. I’m 19 now and I don’t wanna turn 21 and lose my voice!”
Remember her advice from David Foster about the dangers of “whistling” ala Mariah that she also follows.
There are valid reasons why she does things. Just love and support her. Any comments should be directed to http://WWW.ChariceMusic.com Official Charice website run by Warner Brothers Music Group.
Aloha Chasters, we may not always agree but decisions should be based on valid professional reasons not on personal opinions.
Mahalo(thankyou) for supporting Charice,

I enjoyed watching her music video. I love it. I don’t care what you would say. It isn’t being a mediocre. Everytime she performs, she’s always on top of her game. I just can’t be bothered by those outfits or make-ups. Those are the things that most crabs would love to say something against her.
I’ve been reading every article here in Charicemania for about 3 years now. This is a site for Chasters and soon-to-be Chasters and all crabs are NOT welcome. If you are a crab, just show some respect because nothing that you’d say will have an effect on our Chaddiction.
Peace to all.

You don’t need to be so irked. Your defensive and enraged personality, when Chasters write something you disagree, are taking your fanaticism to be so subjective. Fans are here to support, but the American music demographics can be fanatic as well as very objective.
It would be a disgrace and unfair for fans to be reprimanded by a fellow fan for her concern on his or her perception on how a fan’s idea can be it.
Loyalty is a two-way street. Every time any one writes, reprimanding Chasters to simply shut up and keep their ideas to themselves is rude. It essentially suggests that this forum means nothing to Charice. I doubt it if Charice and her staff have never checked this site to collect data to develop marketing models to study and identify the needs of her most ardent supporters. I believe that she supports this site so well.
I don’t understand this mentality of mad hysteria against any one who shares their ideas out of concern for her. They are not saying that their ideas are great and must be used. They just want to share, plain and simple.
If the one who had initially posted Charice’s videos before she got discovered in the US, would have listned to comments like the ones that are posted here and felt stress by the language used– we would not know if Charice would have had that same opportunity.
He took upon him the risk of taking chances. He believed in Charice, and he also believed that his marketing idea would work. Luckily, ZIFI and others may have have not known him tham and had not called him someone who simply needed attention and to profit from her.
He is not a well established promoter, producer, songwriter, PR person– he is a nurse who knew then that Charice’s talent had been maligned in the Philippines. He felt obligated to to do the marketing strategy he could to get the attention of Ellen and Oprah. He took the risk and time, calibrating his scheme of engaging more to watch and dispelled negativity from others like ZIFI.
ZIFI should shut up. Chit was doing what the role of a real Chaster. We cannot just always say that Charice’s decisions were always right. Charice, like any one of us, is human. We all make mistakes. Those who truly love us are forthright and creative, and are not blinded by their insatiable obsession.
Listening from those who care for her is a great tool for success.

Even myself I have a lot of ideas but I cannot guarantee it will going to work because it was never been done. Just like Charice as an Asian Diva, When and where did you see an Asian artist like Charice that penetrated the music industry mainstream? None.
You cannot compare Charice to American and European artists because you just cannot, she is unique.
In my observation her management is still testing the water. They will keep on trying different strategies. You notice her debut album was released end of the year and the sophomore will going to be released the beginning of next year. They are testing it which one will be more successful.

Real inner beauty radiates. Its sad how our modern world is more concern of what lies outside instead of looking the person inside. Maybe its because it easy to judge other just the way they look. But you will never know the person if you just look at them outside.

In the case of the “Official Louder” video, all I can say is that Charice as usual was at her best, however the production was’nt…..two different issues.
Now if a Chaster does observe and be verbal about something wrong with something to do with Charice, does that Chaster instantaneously be labelled a “Hater”. a poseur” or a “crab”?
It’s something like my children’s report cards. You know something is amiss and you tell them to imporove out of concern and love and not because you hate them or anything of that sort.
That’s just what it is and I say it for what it truly represents and this is out of love and concern for Charice. Having been an ardent supporeter and fan since her Philippine days, we wish her trajectory to continually soar upwards.
So does saying something factual and true make me a pariah of the Chaster community? Hope not. All I am saying here and I guess a number of other real and sincere Chasters is that the “Louder” video sucks bigtime in terms of production……really. gauge that against the “One Day” Japanese video and you get what I mean.
Sometime we do make mistakes, Chgarice is no exception no matter how good she is. I am a Chaster but not dillussional. rabid or fanatically sychophantic.
It is not about Charice’s talents in singing, dancing, the way she speaks or how she dresses-up. This is about the quality of her production done by people wprking for a video score. This is not about Charice and this is a whole load of difference.
That’s the end of it and peace to all Chasters.

I got devoured for rendering my objective critique, being called having a crab mentality. It’s rather bizarre that many Chasters would react in such antagonistic and very fanatically one-sided verbal reprisal.
I understand Charice’s decision to accept the “Far as the Sky” project. I disagree, however, with Chit’s comment. Nonetheless, she is a Chaster, who was simply sharing her sincere concern for Charice. I don’t find the comment to be a pretense or an illusion of being an expert. Being a Chaster shares this psychological trait of being obsessive and protective. Being possessive would be way too extreme, since no one can claim ownership of Charice.
I find ZIFI’s comment to be a form of cyber bullying. We cannot all agree for the mere purpose of agreeing. Some Chasters are very protective. Chit used the word, concerned. That’s truly powerful and endearing. If ever Charice gets to read it, she will not take this to be offensive.
“Far as the Sky” received many negative reviews, when it was leaked first, and then eventually sold in Japan. The lyrics and the music were so melodramatic, which perfectly matched the drama series it was intended to be used. After a month of being floated on YouTube using a music video, it generated little interest here in the US. Chasters, who called me a crabster, reasoned that the song was intended for the Japanese market, which unfortunately had also faded in the Japanese radar. We are grateful to the Japanese for their strong support of Charice. Producers and singer make mistakes. They need to feel the rhythm of the market, and Chit is a part of it.
She is learning to reinvent herself and make decisions. She knows what she wants as an artist and songs that can capture her targeted market demographics. She is just 19 and learning to be independent. At this time, she still needs to be supportive to those music industry moguls, who have helped her reach this high.
David Foster seems to understand Charice’s desire to make most of those artistic decisions. Charice cannot have them all. David Foster once said that a Canadian artist has to work twice harder to make it in the US. Charice has to do it ten times more.
Her new album has always been referred to as Infinity’s Japan version. I won’t be surprised if Far as the Sky and New World are replaced for the album’s North America’s release.
The music video of Louder is awesome. I like her close-ups, showing various emotions. It shows Charice with a sexy attitude. I love when she let her hair fly as she turned her head in slow mo. The dancing was just right. Had it been overdone, we would not be able to have those great close-ups.Love the rain, shining beads and the dark background. They are all symbolic of the meaning of the song. The dark and lonely background have been outshone by Charice’s message of moving on amid others who try to put her down. The rain and darkness do not fear but strengthen her to loudly say that she alone can make things happen for her. It is an excellent MV.

I didn’t like the first version of Louder mv that was a recorded copy when released on some foreign tv, because that was darker and there were many things I couldn’t see, however I changed my mind after I’ve seen the final version. The final version showed more the art on it, including the freeze frame and slo-mo of close up shots and dance steps, and the part where Charice was somewhat tossing her hair in freeze/slo-mo is unusually beautiful. There were also great photographic angles of dance movements, of the legs and hand gestures. Charice was also photographed well in several flattering outfits, that showed her maturity.
It’s a rule for me to look for diagonal lines(forward and backward slashes; /;\), because they say that in general, we look at artwork, and our eyes travel the path of letter Z or a number 7, and that’s how we consider if the work is pleasing and interesting, or not. The HD of the final mv showed all these qualities, and that’s how I softened my criticism and decided that Louder video is good enough. Of course, there could have been more dancers and choreography, but what’s in the video is enough to support the story in a song, which is about a meditation and reflection after a breakup of a relationship. It could be improved if there is another version to this very danceable music, but I would still say this one is not bad. I’m sure Charice has a lot more surprises(and dances) for us, her fans, in her next projects.
