Finally I graduated from NTU!!! After 4 years of slow education process, I felt relieved. People always tell me treasure your student life but I think otherwise.. Having a job for money is more important for me as I always like to buy things. Being a student is very poor so onwards towards work! Now going to apply to Sony or Avex and work towards my dream job in Japan.
This song is a theme song to Full Metal Alchemist anime which my friend is watching faithfully... so I decided to sing it...
At first I thought it is an easy song but after much training I am able to this hard song. the hard part is to get the words right as they are like a tongue twister.
RAY OF LIGHT
中川翔子

RAY OF LIGHT (2010)
Romanji:
Ano hi kara zutto
Nakanai to kimete kita kedo
Itami wo kasanetemo
Nanika wo yurusezu ni ita
Mou modorenai ikutsumono hibi
Boku wa mada nanimo dekizuni
Kimi no ita kioku no kakera
Mata hitotsu kiete yuku
Kyou yori motto tsuyoku naritai
Kono koe ga itsuka todoku you ni
Arukitsuzukete kaze ga yandara
Kimi wo sagashite sora miageru yo
Yoake no saki ni hikari ga sasu yo
Kono mune no dokoka
Tojikometeta hazu no koto mo
Ima nara sukoshi dake
Wakaru you na kigashita
Dokomademo tsuzuiteku michi
Atarashii keshiki ga fuetemo
Kimi wa mou dokonimo inai
Tada toki ga sugiru dake
Kyou yori motto tsuyoku naritai
Yatto mitsuketa omoi no tame ni
Namida no tsubu ga ame ni nattemo
Kawarazu hikaru hoshi miageru yo
Nagareru kumo ga irozuiteku yo
Kigatsukeba boku wa mata
Otono no natteku kedo
Imademo wakaranai koto bakari de
Soredemo tooi sora no kanata ni wa
Tsunagaru to shinjiteru
Kyou yori motto tsuyoku naritai
Kono koe ga kimi ni todoku you ni
Arukitsuzukete kaze ga yandara
Kotae sagashite sora miageru yo
Yoake no saki ni hikari ga sasu yo
Niji ga kakaru yo
Kanji:
あの日からずっと
泣かないと決めてきたけど
痛みを重ねても
何かを許せずにいた
もう戻れない いくつもの日々
僕はまだ何もできずに
君のいた記憶の破片
またひとつ消えてゆく
今日よりもっと
強くなりたい
この声がいつか届くように
歩き続けて
風が止んだら
君を探して空見上げるよ
夜明けの先に光が射すよ
この胸のどこか
閉じ込めてたはずのことも
今なら少しだけ
わかるような気がした
どこまでも続いてく道
新しい景色が増えても
君はもうどこにもいない
ただ時が過ぎるだけ
今日よりもっと
強くなりたい
やっと見つけた想いのために
涙の粒が
雨になっても
変わらず光る星見上げるよ
流れる雲が色付いてくよ
気がつけば僕はまた
大人になってくけど
今でもわからないことばかりで
それでも遠い空の彼方には
繋がると信じてる
今日よりもっと
強くなりたい
この声が君に届くように
歩き続けて
風が止んだら
答えさがして空見上げるよ
夜明けの先に光が射すよ
虹がかかるよ
English:
That day I decided
That I would never again return to mourn
But the pain was accumulated
There was something I could not lose
All those days, and you did not come back
And I am still unable to do anything
These fragments of memories
Again, one by one, are disappearing
I want to become stronger than I am today
To be able to reach you with this voice someday
Even if the wind does not stop, I will continue walking
I'll look skyward
At the end of the sunrise, a ray of light shines
Sometimes this heart seems
It was meant to be shut
Now I feel as if
I understand a little more now
The road continues to anywhere
And although I see many new landscapes
You are not in any of them
Time is passing as I follow
I want to become stronger than I am today
To finally find love
Although my tears become rain
Do not change the brightness of the star I see in the sky
Gradually, the clouds change color
And today, many do not understand
Until the picture is bigger
Although I am aware of it
Even so, I trust in that distant sky
We're universal
I want to become stronger than I am today
To be able to reach you with this voice someday
Even if the wind does not stop, I'll continue walking
Seeking answers in the sky
I'll find you looking skyward
And a rainbow

Re sing of BOA's Waiting...
I am so happy... today just ordered 6 Ayupans from mu-mo.net from Japan! This is the best Ayupans created so far... kawaii ne!!!
Ayupans are figurines designed by Ayumi herself... My exam desk always have one to cheer me up during exam! Love you, Ayumi!
Today's voice is not bad for this song so I decided to record one more time...
Koreanji
Uri orma maningayo cham oren shigani hulloneyo

Long time no sing....
It has been a long time since I last blogged... It was my final exam of my university life so I had to concentrate! I also had a bad mood for 2 weeks due to the amount of stress even after that. I had lost my pencil case but what is important is the contents. It contained my beloved Swarovski self-decorated pen, a Shiseido Maquillage concealer (S$43) and a FANCL lipbalm (S$17). That's not all...
I also went to kinokuniya that week, wanting to buy Scawaii june edition featuring Ayumi but it was sold out in 2 hours... Haiz
Went to the lost and found counter to find my pencil case but they say they haven sorted the stuff out and cant let me browse thru them... :(
My S$2200 custom earphone left side lost its bass so have to send back US...
I went to eat satay but they ran out of chicken meat and rice!!!! Wierd!
Everything went so bad...
Today I found my pencil case at the counter with everything intact... whew so happy and relieved! hippi! now luck is coming back to me...
Once in a while all bad things happened all together so I am glad things are turning normal...
This time I sang a song I feel peaceful listening to it... It is a duet so I recorded twice with once male once female :)
The Prayer by Charlotte Church and Josh Groban:
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer as we go our way
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu dai (I pray we'll find your light)
Nel cuore resterà (And hold it in our hearts)
A ricordarci che (When stars go out each night)
L'eterna stella sei (Ahhh)
Nella mia preghiera (Let this be our prayer)
Quanta fede c'è (When shadows fill our day)
Lead us to a place
(Guide us with your grace)
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternità
La forza che ci dai (We ask that life be kind)
E'il desiderio che (And watch us from above)
Ognuno trovi amore (We hope each soul will find)
Intorno e dentro sé (Another soul to love)
Let this be our prayer (Let this be our prayer)
Just like every child (Just like every child)
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverà

Ayu's New album Rock and Roll Circus Review
THE introduction 5/10 - sounds like Evil boss is coming! lols. Doesn't suit ayumi's image.
Microphone 10/10 - The song I liked best! Organ + rock great combi for a dynamic contrast!
count down 6/10 - this song is a means for her voice out her left ear trouble that borthers her everyday of her life. I feel the heaviness in her voice but the tune is not that nice to listen to.
Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ 8/10 - I like this better than the sunrise. The tune is much suited for slow tempo.
BALLAD 10/10 - this song made me cry in the chorus. Liked it so much that I made a recording in my blog There is a tough part to sing this at the 3.07 mark of the song where the "ite" needs to go down a semitone before doing a crying technique.
Last Links 6/10 - this song at first impacted me because it started with audio coming from right side only which symbolises her left ear problem. quite hard to adjust to it when u listen to it, right? The song is a normal song to me.
montage 9/10 - church bell + strings + organ shows orchestra style emotion.
Don't look back 7/10 - the song is very arabic haha... but i dont like it that much.
Jump! 8/10 - sounds very techno to me lols. At the ending there is a show of digital signal processing for surround effect which is linked to my thesis in my University. I liked it.
Lady Dynamite 9/10 - Great song with good mastering effects. The virtual space created is wide and cosy at the same time.
Sexy little things 10/10 -I would agree with everyone that it is the best song! It is already used by my friend to show his project demonstration haha. Realli sexy. The layering is great where the midi tune is "floating" behind the drums. Then the accompaniment instruments are at the far left and right with ayumi voice right at the center. Tempo is right to let ppl wan to dance with the song
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ 5/10 - This fast song shouldn't be put here behind sexy little things cos it will contrast and sound worse than sexy little things. personally also dont like this song that much. cos the instruments clashes together like a mess sounds untidy to me. Ayu's voice also dont stand out well. The mastering is not good at all.
meaning of Love 10/10 - this song made me cry like mad... I disagree with others that it is a bad song. the first phrase already made me cry. the chorus is even more emotional. This song can be used in a drama theme song.
You were... 8/10 - This song shows huge emotion but does not made me cry. its just letting listeners have a place to escape to...
RED LINE ~for TA~ 8/10 - this song encourages me to go on with life and take it easy on things. Nice song to sing along also I realised the drums sounds very live, like Ayu is doing it on stage.
OVERALL: 8/10
Best Track: Sexy little things
Worst track: Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
For me, maybe because I have better than average equipments to listen to songs, I tend to hear more details so that is why my ratings are like this haha. I always seek neatly mastered songs + good tunes.

Avril Lavigne "Underground" (Alice in Wonderland Theme Song)
Here is a tough song that Avril sang for the Alice movie! She changed her style of singing suddenly after a few years without new albums. I tried to attempt it and this is the better one. lols... definitely cannot win her haha...
Trippin out
Spinning around
I'm underground
I fell down
Yeah I fell down
I'm freaking out, where am I now?
Upside down and I can't stop it now
Can't stop me now, oh oh
I,I, I'll get by
I,I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I,I, I won't cry
I found myself in Wonderland
Got back on my feet, again
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end
I,I, I'll get by
I,I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I,I, I won't cry
I,I, I'll get by
I,I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I,I, I won't cry
Trippin out
Spinning around
I'm underground
I fell down
Yeah I fell down
I'm freaking out, where am I now?
Upside down and I can't stop it now
Can't stop me now, oh oh
I,I, I'll get by
I,I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I,I, I won't cry
I found myself in Wonderland
Got back on my feet, again
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end
I,I, I'll get by
I,I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I,I, I won't cry
I,I, I'll get by
I,I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I,I, I won't cry
