Can you celebrate? Can you kiss me tonight?

Jpop, Kpop and the Almost Non-Existing Fpop

Posted by jojo8 on June 25, 2008

Right now I’m into Jpop.  I like Namie Amuro.  The MV I posted is old but I like it so I’m not going into uber critic mode other than say, “It’s so American-ish.”   So someone’s going to say, “She’s Japanese. Why can’t she sing Japanese music?”   Do you mean all those songs you hear in anime?  Please… don’t be so narrow-minded.  This comment is also directed to Filipino, Korean and other Asian artists being that they “copy” American music.  Music is universal (and that’s cliche so all people should already know that).  Music is an expression.   They like the melody, rhythm, beat etc. and they like the lyrics to be in a certain language and sometimes mixed (is it called Engrish?).  Some people like it, some people don’t.  Do you have to be American/British/any nationality to appreciate music? To sing American et. al. songs?  NOT!

I got to be honest, I wasn’t really that thrilled with Korean and Japanese music.  All I know is that the theme songs of the KDramas are good (sounds heartbreaking though) and I like anime songs (especially Naruto opening and closing credits themes).  But lately I’m discovering Asian music (I really have to force myself!).  I’m not regretting it though because I’m having fun.  I certainly had fun watching some of the vids and live performances in youtube.  So now, I know that there are really annoying Korean artists, not themselves per se but based on what they did in the vids (ultimately themselves if I watched them in several vids and they are still annoying) and there are some who looked really fake.  Luckily I found DBSK!  I made fun of their clothes (didn’t comment on it on youtube, just kept it to myself).  Jaejoong needs to have a new stylist, same as with Yunho…. okay… all of them.. nyahahaha..  Ahermmm…. Let’s forget about my little outburst there because I really like DBSK.  All of them.  Another group I like is Big Bang or Bigbang.. whichever.  Because of one video that sounds like trance music.  It’s their latest, I think.  (If someone would give me the title of the song, thanks!)

I first heard of Utada Hikaru then I saw names of Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki in forums.  Like I said above, I like Namie Amuro.  Utada Hikaru also.  Arashi is fun but too bubblegum for me.   L’arc-En-Ciel–  I like (they’ re JRock, I know..).

I referred to Fpop as almost non-existent because Filipino pop artists tend to concentrate on ballads. They are really good but I want them to record pop/rnb songs.  They can really sing this genre, but so far few have released records.  I’m so frustrated!

Sarah Geronimo – Ikaw MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on June 22, 2008

Ilang bahaghari ang aking hinabol
Ilang pangarap ang nakawala
Lahat ng yaman pati mga kaibigan
na nagkukunwari di lahat bumalik
Iisa lamang ang may panindigan

[Chorus]
Dahil ikaw lamang ang hindi lumisan
Tunay na kaibigan lagi kang nandyan
O ikaw lamang ang hindi nang-iiwan
Nararapat lang ika’y pasalamatan
Ikaw, ikaw, ikaw
Ikaw, ikaw, ikaw
(la la la la la la la la)
Ikaw, Ikaw
(la la la la la la la)
Ang nais kong pasalamatan
(la la la la la)

Ikaw, ikaw

Nasan ang pag ibig sa madilim na paligid
lahat maskara puso’y nakasara
Panandaliang aliwan kahit baliwan
pagbagsak ay wakas unti unting tatakas
Iisa o isa ang di nagpa-isa

[repeat Chorus]

Salamat, salamat
Ikaw, Ikaw
Salamat, salamat
Ikaw, Ikaw
Iisa lamang ang may panindigan

[repeat Chorus]

Sarah Geronimo – Felt So Right MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on June 22, 2008

I love you
I don’t know what else to say
’cause I long for you more each day
I need you
I want to feel your embrace
And have a chance to touch your face

I was lost and alone
But you showed me the way
Now I call you my own
Things will never be the same

How could I’ve known
You will hold me close so tenderly
Even though I’m alone
I can feel your arms enfolding me
And that love, became mine in just one night
When you held me tight
Oooh… it felt so right

I feel you
You’re always here in my heart
It’s where I’ve kept you since we fell apart

I was lost and alone
But you showed me the way
Can’t go on, on my own
Wishin’ that you would stay

How could I’ve known
You will hold me close so tenderly
Even though I’m alone
I can feel your arms enfolding me
And that love, became mine in just one night
When you held me tight
Oooh… it felt so right

I was lost and alone
But you showed me the way
Can’t go on, on my own
Wishin’ that you would stay
Tell me that you would stay…

How could I’ve know (how could I’ve known… ohh)
(Ooh)You will hold me close so tenderly (oohh)
(Ooh)Even though I’m alone
I can feel your arms enfolding me (your arms enfold me)
And that love, became mine in just one night
When you held me tight
Oooh… it felt so right
Felt so right…
Hmmm… felt so right.

Info:  This MV was taken from a TV drama (Bituing Walang Ningning ) where Sarah Geronimo is the lead star.

Sarah Geronimo – I Still Believe In Loving You MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on June 22, 2008

Just when I thought our love was here to stay
Just when I thought you’ll never ever go away
You said it’s time for you to go
But I’m not sure I really know
Why you are leaving

And when we finally say our last goodbye
I’ll never make it hard for you
You won’t even see me cry
And though there’s tears inside of me
I’m gonna let your heart go free
Before you leave
There’s just one thing
That I want you to know

[Chorus]
I still believe in loving you
Inspite of all the hurts that I’m going through
Even if again and again you’d break my heart
One thing would never change
I still believe in loving you

If you would tell me that you’ll be alright
I’ll never let you see me blue
But I’ll keep our love alive
And though I’m feeling incomplete
I guess that this is what you need
Before you leave
There’s just one thing
That I want you to know

[Chorus 2x]

One thing would never change
I still believe in loving you

Sarah Geronimo – Can This Be Love MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on June 22, 2008

Can this be love I’m feeling right now
I know for certain I’m feeling right now
I don’t recall ever feeling this way
Tell me what does one sayTo one who makes me feel this way

Can this be love I’m feeling right now
I am not sure of this feeling somehow
Why do I tremble whenever you’re near
I can’t seem to say my words so you’ll hear

CHORUS:
This is the first time I’m gonna say “I love you”
It’s the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times I’d tell you once again
This is the first time I’m gonna say “I love you”

Can this be love I’m feeling right now
I love the feeling it’s giving me now
A voice inside me is guiding me now
It’s telling me now
To take your hands and say

CHORUS:
This is the first time I’m gonna say “I love you”
It’s the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times I’d tell you once again
This is the first time I’m gonna say “I love you”
(higher notes)
This is the first time I’m gonna say “I love you”
It’s the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times I’d tell you once again
This is the first time
This is the first time

It’s the first time
I’m gonna say “I love you”

“I love you”

Trivia:

This is a remake of the song originally sung by group Smokey Mountain’s Geneva Cruz and is the main theme song for the movie of the same title, “Can This Be Love,” starring Sandara Park and Hero Angeles.

Sarah Geronimo – Love Can’t Lie MV with lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on June 22, 2008

Love Can’t Lie lyrics

Artist – Sarah Geronimo

Album – Sweet Sixteen

Lyrics – Love Can’t Lie

still recall the warmth of the night
try to ease the pain in my heart
and now that your out of my sight
tears fall from these eyes
echoes of my voice slowly die fears in every corner of my mind
and even if it’s over
still can’t bear with time

how could you go?
how could you say goodbye?
it hurts inside cause by now
still can’t find the reason why love can’t lie

knowing that my life is so unkind
so leave my thoughts and mem’ries behind
but angels brought me to the past
i’m with you at last

*in you i have found my life
you brought me to paradise
happiness that i can’t hide
i feel inside
(repeat chorus)
instrumental
(repeat*)
chorus….still can’t find the reason why it’s hard to try with cryin’ all the time
my fate is you
and somehow keep myself from lovin’ you
love can’t lie
