The Merry Christmas A Long Time Ago

<Itsuka no merry christmas>, a song made by veteran Japanese band B’Z, is meant to be a song sang from a single, male, perspective. Due to the love of this song,other Japanese singers have been singing this song. There are duets being sang, although the song was not meant to be. Jpop princess Hamasaki Ayumi also sang this song in 1999. Below are the duet versions of the song. Both versions have a different style to it. Hamasaki Ayumi’s version is sadder, whereas Amuro Namie’s one is more upbeat. Enjoy!

I Can Change My Life

This is one of the best songs from rising star Yui. <Life> was featured first as a single and then as one of the 13 songs on her first album. The song is upbeat, the lyrics are well written and hardly repeated, and the whole song is actually quite uplifting. Perhaps listening to <Life> every morning is a good way to start your day.

Ambiguity 暧昧

Rainie Yang’s first hit to the charts. This song is about a mutual, vague feeling that is hard to be called “love”, but some bonds do exist between the persons involved. This kind of feeling may be called ambiguous love, one that is not confirmed. Perhaps some of you have may have also experienced this kind of “Beyond friends, not yet lovers” feelings?

Ideal Lover 理想情人

One of the best songs from Rainie Yang, <Ideal lover> depicts the story of a girl going on her first date, trying to appear her best, and asking herself questions of what are the qualities her date will want for his ideal lover.
