Here are two of my favorite English-Language tracks, sung by Japanese Artists...both of whom just happened to work for Avex =P
NOW IS THE TME
Uno Misako
Slow Dance Original Soundtrack
On the night that you found me
I knew that you would change my world
It happened in a second
All that I had waited for
I didn't know you
But you were not a stranger to me
More than familiar
In you I could see me
Now you're here with me, it's plain to see
There's no more reason to wait patiently
In this moment won't you come and hold me
Just bring me to you...
Now is the time
Everytime that I see you
It's like I can breathe again
All my fears and worries
Disappear in your tender smile
Even just to think of you
Is all I need to feel so good
I hear your voice deeply
And it just soothes me
I can't imagine there's a deeper love
All that's left is that I feel your touch
In this moment won't you come and hold me
Just bring me to you...
Now is the time
I wanna be yours
Now is the time.
A DREAM IS A WISH YOUR HEART MAKES
Van Tomiko
Cinderella (Japanese Release) Original Soundtrack
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
AAA's Uno Misako is undoubtedly one of my favorite musical performers. However, something's been bugging me about her. It all started when I saw the "Samurai Heart" video.
Now, for a song with a particularly hard-rock arrangement, I saw Uno doing something very peculiar...she was winking.
Now, this of course, got me all curious, so sought out more of their videos. Next one I found was Shalala ~Kibou no Uta~
...and again...
...and again...
...are you sensing a pattern here yet?
...I was half-expecting her to put on an eye patch mid-video...
Yeah...
So I thought, hey, maybe she just loves winking. Or perhaps that's what Avex designated her character trait to be. It's not like she has some sort of medical condition or anything, right?
...then I saw this:
...she STARTS the video mid-wink!
...she winks on the same freaking verse!
...hell, she winks twice in a row with only 1.75 seconds in between!
I mean, damn...
...is she trying to set a world record here?
...because she might just make it!
Okay...now she does two winks within the same hand motion!
...No, seriously. Is this something she should be seeing a doctor for?
Are they lighting her left side too intensely or something?
...and still no pirate patch.
Uno-san, you are awesome...but please...do the wink thing more sparingly. You doing it every three seconds kinda worries me.
Oh well...at least she doesn't wink this often live, right?
...damn.
Today, we focus on AAA's lead (and, initially, only) female, the lovely Uno Misako!
Oh, crap, wrong photo. That's her from The Grudge 2. Lemme get a better pic for ya...
Ah, much better. You know, the fact that Amber Tamblyn played Samara in The Ring makes this shot pretty funny =P
Anyway, some quick specs before I go on:
宇野実彩子(ウノミサコ)
Birth Date: 1986/7/16
Birth Place: 東京都
Height: 160cm
Weight: I believe she can fly...
Blood: Young, possibly on fire.
But anyway, Uno Misako is the lead female vocal of the 8-member band, and deservedly so. She has an amazing voice that you can discern rather clearly from all the other members, even if they're all screaming at the top of their lungs at the same time.
She also has a smile that I find rather mesmerizing. Hell, the first time I saw their 1st Attack concert, I almost thought I was looking at Mandy Moore (who also has an amazing smile).
She's already done some solo work for the hi ghest-rated drama of Summer 2005, Slow Dance, providing three songs for its soundtrack. As already mentioned, she plays a part in The Grudge 2, and had a small role in the drama Karera no Umi VIII - Sentimental Journey with three fellow bandmates from Attack All Around.
Uno Misako is a great frontwoman for AAA, having the voice, dancing ability, and (although not important as talent) awesome good looks and heavenly smile of a JPop goddess.
And now, Uno-san will sing you off with Deai no Chikara, where she and big hair boy do nothing but be ridiculously cute together =P
