I can speak/understand japanese and I must say that even though he has quite a thick accent the pronounciation is REALLY GOOD for someone who doesnt speak japanese at all:) I understand every word
Wait... WHAT? Phil Collins sings Japanese? I have listened this many times but I didn't notice before that the singer is Phil Collins. xDDD I'm so stupid.
@arcbine333 this song is the only song he sings in Japanese, but he sings all the songs in Spanish, german, italian, french and english of curse) AMAZING HA?? :P
THe english version of this song doesn't make me start to cry until the song is almost over, but this version almost made me cry right from the start. I love it.
I love the songs in different languages by Phil Collins BECAUSE of his accent! That makes the songs so unique! Him singing the music to Brother Bear was definitely one reason I watched the film.
I think he can be very proud for being able to sing his songs in all these other languages.
Yes, he is not a native speaker. But then again, he does a good job for someone who does not speak it. I'm not fluent in Japanese, so yeah... O.o;
I absolutely love the Norwegian version :D Then again, I love the Norwegian language(I actually have Norwegian in my background(one of many backgrounds) and some of my ancestors were Vikings -^_^-).
Why did they let him sing this? His pronunciation isn't bad, but his rhythm sounds weird and unnatural, and this would sound sooo much better with a Japanese singer...
Phil has a beautiful voice but his accent takes away from the beauty of the words I think. It a wonderful version but his accent bothers me. And I mean no offense because I love Phil Collins I just think a Japanese Artist would have been the better choice
Phil Collins sang in Italian,English,French,Spanish,German and Japanese this song! This version is really AMAZING!! I was impressed that he also sang in japanese...*___*
@HitoriShinigami i think that the accent is different, yes, but i kind of like this version as a change :D either way is fine. phil collins just has the greatest voice ever
@HitoriShinigami I can't speak Japanese. Phil Collins can't speak Japanese either, so it is very commendable of him to try to sing in so many languages. He did a Spanish version too, with a strong English accent, but he did it very well, considering he can't speak Spanish either. Behind him there was a huge team of teachers and professionals, trying their best. A Japanese artist would have pronounced better, but without the feeling, effort, charisma and personality only Phil can provide.
It beautiful in Japanese.

I'm new to Japanese, yet noticed right away that this sounded...of...
Not that I can complain, I dub songs in Japanese myself, and know it's far from perfect =P
But I'm SO glad he didn't do the Norwegian version!
English people CANT speak Norwegian sounds even after living here 10 years O_o
The Norwegian version is much more beautiful than the original version too by the way =)
They used a great singer =^_^=
Thanks for sharing =D
