Rescue – KAT-TUN’s awesome new song

by Fiona

To be frank, I am a casual listener of KAT-TUN, there is only three or four songs of theirs that had really impressed me. I really did not expect much when clicking the WMP play button last night, had only downloaded Rescue out of curiosity.

To my surprise, it has became quite an addicting song. Their voices blend in nicely with the highly catchy melody of the song along with the soul-touching lyrics. The English portions are also sang clearly. My only complaint would be the annoying rap in the mist of this harmony; never been fond of it, the only one that I can stand is Arashi’s Sho-kun.

Here are the lyrics:

Ya’ll ready? Listen up!
I’m not scared,
Until my heartbeat’s gone,
I’ll rescue you.

I don’t wanna cry alone
I don’t wanna cry alone Continue reading “Rescue – KAT-TUN’s awesome new song” →

朋友 – 君臣情深’s themesong

by Fiona

While reorganizing the drama folder on my PC last night and I had came across 君臣情深 (楊麗花歌仔戲). It’s awesome ancient Chinese series with an excellent main cast, highly recommended if you like a good drama. I had always came to a liking to its themesong, 朋友 (Friends), sang by 高向鵬 and 傅振輝. Quite refreshing to hear it again – catchy melody and meaningful lyrics(like its title, it describes the appreciation of friendship, much like the one portrayed between 王文英 and 宋仁宗 in the drama). I am not going to go in-depth regarding 君臣情深; if you’re curious, the synopsis and a list of cast can be found on the TTV website.

After listening to it for the nth time, I had decided to search for the full version of 朋友. Unfortunately, my luck had ran out, not even one file was found. Guess it will have to be the TV version for now. If anyone is so kind to advise where the full version of song can be found, it would be much, much appreciated. I can bake some virtual cookies for you.

朋友 by 高向鵬 & 傅振輝

朋友來做陣 著要逗相挺 有緣做兄弟
著要重情義 有你逗扶持 一路行來攏順利
因為尚好的朋友就是你
朋友來做陣 一定逗相挺 有緣做兄弟
著要重情義 你像阮兄弟啊
你是阮知己 因為尚好的朋友就是你
啊…什麼都不驚 因為朋友你作伴
啊…不管路多崎 因為有你做陣行
啊…講話會大聲 因為朋友你做伴
啊…有你我尚大
啊…有你我一定贏
啊…什麼都不驚 因為朋友你做伴
啊…不管路多崎 因為有你做陣行
啊…講話會大聲 因為朋友你作伴
啊…有你我尚大
啊…有你我一定贏

Music of 陳亞蘭

by Fiona

I came across a few of  陳亞蘭 (Chen Yar Lan) songs while re-watching Taiwanese opera/歌仔戲. It’s been quite a while, I’d love watching these during my younger days and enjoy them even more now. **Yes, I have weird interests and have godzillion fandoms. These would be the television version (not stage ones); they are not much different from our TV series, except vocals are included, usually to express thoughts and feelings. I’ll touch on 歌仔戲 on a later date.

亞蘭姐 is a well-known Taiwanese actress, mostly famous for her roles portraying male characters (小生) in 歌仔戲. Please note, male leads are usually performed by females due to their singing roles. One of my favorite 歌仔戲小生 aside from her sensei, the infamous 楊麗花 (Yang Li Hua). Her profile can be found here and the 歌仔戲 one here.

Themesongs are usually not attention grabbing at first, but they do grow on you. I’m sure all of you know what I mean. The one for 紅塵奇英 sure did; pretty soon, I was search high and low for the full version. So off I went into cyberspace looking for the singer; to my surprise, it was 亞蘭姐.  Had no idea that she had release a three albums; there no doubt she can sing 歌仔戲 (for 20+ year or so), but modern songs too? ? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since she is quite talented.

放阮一個人 MV

Below are some lyrics of my favorites:
換一個所在住(台視楊麗花歌仔戲《紅塵奇英》片頭曲)

寂寞　惦惦充滿歸房間
阮的目周愈金　愈感覺冷清清
後悔　慢慢凌治阮的心
從今以後袂擱隨便講感情

是什麼原因會凍改變人的眼神
對愛空虛　對情無味　還是對人無信心

應該換一個所在住　無需要外大
只要溫暖　求一個快活
只好換一個所在住　無免定定越頭看
因為一個人的生活卡贏　倆個人為著作伴受情磨

離開青春夢
