Aya Kamiki - Alone (HEART Cover)

[Vee57]

strong voice....she's very pretty:) love her style!!!

[jgbaren]

I am not usually attracted to Japanese girls but damn you are the hotness. great job on the song

[cormanser]

wow, when the song started out I didn't think she could handle it, but when he power came out it blew me away. Great cover of a great song.

[okeylang47]

no matter where you are in the part of the earth once you are a musician it doesnt matter even whatever nationality you are... 5 star for you guys...

and by the way... the singer is very beautiful i love you... hahaha.... nice cover

[zuzumatisse]

She did really good:]

[DirtMonkey625]

I dont care what language she sings in, I love her voice! Rrrraaarrrrrr.....

[shourick]

I love her tone. Good job!

[dukinz]

you are the best japanece singer

[adela61690]

at least her skill is not that bad

[yokosukan3g1]

どうしてこの原曲をいい歌だと思ったか、どうしてカバーしようと­思ったのかをよく考えるべきだと思う。

そのいい部分を表現出来ないならカバーする意味は無いんじゃない­でしょうか。

[pinkally1986]

i think she did a great job - i certainly couldn't sing in japanese!

[bangs9876]

For a japanese singer, she did really well.

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

She had a hard time singing because 1 HER MUSIC IS ALL JAPANESE WITH ONE ENGLISH LINE (i.e Are You Happy Now?). God. Stupid people.

[met4lhe4d666]

she has a nice voice, her accent made the lyrics kind a hard to follow

[GIGS1986]

She is a Japanese singer

[xxdreamergirl01xx]

she got the lyricsa wrong but still good!

[Tabistarlite]

the singing was good, you just didn't understand 1 word:/

[lady0fdarkness]

accent or no accent, that was rocking!!!!

[sametal847]

Dear God!! Why do only the tone deaf comment on videos!

Atleast that's a decent band, saving grace!

[ZombieDesertDeities]

You're a good singer but your pronunciation is tooooo bad!!!

[Mopjee92]

love it

[secretxcode]

AMAZING! AMAZING! *--*

Her voice is wonderful

and all you haters can just leave and go hear the original version instead of being critics.

And YES she is a professional!

do your research my gawd >_>

[hiromo55555]

私の大好きなＨｅａｒｔの名曲が・・・！

ロック魂みたいのはかんじますが、ごめんなさいひどくて最後まで­聞けないくらいでした・・・

日本以外でこのように歌うのはやめておいたほうが無難かと思いま­す・・・この曲はＢｉｇ　Ｓｏｎｇだそうなので、オリジナル以外でよかったのはＣａｒｒｉ­ｅ　Ｕｎｄｅｒｗｏｏｄ　Ｖｅｒｓｉｏｎくらいだと思います。

[tmhoki07]

Hikaru Utada grew up in the U.S. so she can sing in Enlgih much better than other Japanese singers. Some singers in Japan are really good. Of course it is better to be able to sing in English if you want world-wide recognition though.

[lexvill]

Hot! Hot! Hot!

[bim2x4]

she's hot

[eggleng]

atleast she can say alone unlike others who pronounce L as R

[lizztheshizz1994]

thats pretty good :)

[esvvev]

Oh and another thing... if youre going to hate on somebody because of their singing, make sure you can sing yourself. Its one thing to sing in the english language, to sing beautifully is another issue. I know one thing, this girl can definitely sing and she makes a living out of it, and she is damn popular in japan. She may not pronounce the english words very well, but her great voice surely makes up for it. : )

[esvvev]

cmon guys she tried her best, and even though i was having a hard time understanding what she's saying, her singing is pretty good compared to the likes of say...avril or ashlee. Plus, people listen to music they dont understand all the time. It not uncommon. For example, a lot of people listens nirvana a lot and nobody understands a word cobain says until they see the lyrics. Its the rhythm, melody and emotion which makes 95% of music..the rest is lyrics.

[ffchrissie]

Wow for a Japanese singer covering an Enlgish song she did very well. I've heard other Japanese performers trying to sing in English and sounding much worse than her. Yes her accent is there but it's still understandable! The more she practices English the better she'll get ^_^

[BustaV]

Shes so pretty and she did a pretty good job!

[METH3454]

SHE'S FUCKING HOT LOOKING !!

[AVALONFANINVA]

you go girl!

[xXxGHIAxXx]

i like it!

[mightyqueen85]

I agree!!

[BlowBackBenny]

sexy

[Dyesekilumba]

asian girls are very beautiful. she looks like avril lavigne

[zues211]

Damn you are HOT!!!

[9lamers]

great cover....!!!

[Aappan]

Please. You and everyone else. Just get it that English is way more harder to practice to Japanese people plus the teaching isn't that great as it's in Europe for example. Her English is fucking great for a Japanese person. I don't want to be rude or anything. I just got annoyed very easily when it's about someone I like xD(actually just started to like)

[kyo2727]

sugoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

kawaiiiiiiiii

i love

[lefty3b9]

If your gonna hate don't type...So what if her accent gets in the way of her singing..Her voice is awesome..If your gonna hate learn Japanese then get a bad together and sing let's see how you are lol LOSERS Quit being ass clowns it just makes you look uneducated and ignorant..

[powerpuffgirls210]

wow.yall people r rude..its her accent smart ones..and dont be judgen cause no one sees yalls videos up on here tryn to sing..HATERS

[elanacui]

Wow this girl is great. I didn't know that Japanese could song English. I like her.

[elanacui]

Opps, wrong key again. I meant "this girl could sing English. I said song sorry. Obviously I need some typing lesson.

[NikkiSavella]

YATTTA! Sugoi ne!!! ^_^

[XleejX]

Great voice !

Really cool :D

but her english isnt so good xD

[DivenJoh]

Wonder if she herself knows what she´s singing about....

[Vee57]

cool beat!!!

[1maxine23]

Whuuuuh?  Pretty entertaining though.

[muntingmutya]

what she say??

[secretxcode]

Great cover, I can't understand her english but that's ok. Her voice is amazing.

Aya rockss

[aliceladylike]

great song, great style... love it

[bleachers11]

shes good...but the moment she started her english had problems...probably its the accent...but shes awesome otherwise..reminds me of avril

[nstzj666]

it's very good

[MarcielTribuzy]

nice

[alyannaforever]

yeah! go aya!!

[kjmarsonist]

Nice 1 aya!

[bogartbigmac]

this chick absoultely rocks, her style is very unique compared to other asian singers..i hope she'll do a cover of other english love songs.

[saphiresaphire12]

she rocks!!!!!!

[angeldraft]

this funky ver. is great but ?

[lessthn0]

I think she did fantastic! Ann is very hard to cover even decently!

[alwajihah]

Great voice but yeah, I agree on the comment about her English. She's still amazing though. Man... I'm totally searching her up

[Heltblind]

rusty on the english, still great voice

[txtmssgomg]

Great voice...

but...lolwut?

[regishintaku]

kawaii naa

[kittylushas]

I love this Japanese funky little version. What a cute little chick with an amazing strong voice. Lyrics were quite comical at times, but WoW she rocked!! Gotta love Heart for spreading their magic! :)

[vs758]

she is singing this phonetically, she probably knows very little English.

[IanHoopz]

damn!! I would :O

[Nahriel]

Of course she'll never be as good as they are at the song; it's their song. However, personally I find it rather awesome that heart's music has made it all the way to japan and that people over there enjoy it enough to try and sing it even when english isn't their first language.

[Hornet85]

This I have to agree with. Japanese certainly have a good taste of music, lol. Heart's an amazing band, and I always love watching any artist doing cover of their song.

[zanderblaze4]

WOW she's like the asian version of avril lavigne....her voice is really beautiful

[rodolfostanic]

she sings soo well...and is so beautiful...

[rkkong]

she fucking hot

[igorot27]

check out alone by the zoo band (alone - the zoo band)

[Juniper109]

I didn't understand most of that. However, at least, she tried. She does have a good voice.

[uaakitektu1928]

not bad

[kennelynne27]

love that accent...

[140leon]

it is good one! but? it is sound like i never really care until tomatoe? good jod though!!!

[o1hunnay]

it was pitchy, but i got to give her props for singing english :) good tone

[teeNjay]

your one disgusting nasty piece of work man!plss she's a respected musician...

[ArchonRamie]

Wow, she has an excellent voice and for English not being her primary language she did an awesome cover.

[kenkoy008888]

diction is bad, voice is good.

[Nahriel]

Yes, she's semi famous, not as big as some but we're working on that lol. Her second full length album came out a few months back and she had a new single come out on the 5th I believe. She's amazing, you should look her up.

[CoachinVegas]

so beautiful...love her passion... and that accent!!! Piano needs to be louder..

[jinzo637]

Suge jozu ne.

[angngam21]

right on.. her voice is awesome.. and the thick Japanese accent makes it more interesting to listen to! but that's just me..

[obscurity87]

BEAUTIFUL voice but the wordsss :-(

[SaliChan]

Ann's voice is beta, but I LOVE covers like this one!

[smallvilleadm]

voice = good

instrumental = so so

[GaynAPOsila]

is she singing in japanese?..

[Nahriel]

no she's just got a really thick japanese accent.

[b0ukanb0ouh]

Yeaaaah...

Très belle reprise ='D

[fnglert]

Her voice is excellent for this song. She has the range and power needed to believably sell this song. Now if only she had the pronounciation as well.

[Brankogurl]

When English is the second or third language for a person, pronounciation isn't always the best. Besides this is aired on a Japanese station, so I'm not worried, she sang pretty good.

[HangJebat1976]

Not bad but her pronunciation sucks. But they hey, she is japanese right so can't blame her. Ann Wilson is still the best

[fnglert]

Have you heard Floor Jansen perform this ?

[thedodger10]

Good voice for this song. But needs a little more practice on the words and pronunciation.

[roberlene]

wow astig! kuhang kuha mo!!! hehehe natawa tlga ako...

[rockheart2007]

i like the sex appeal, style and the voice of the singer

[CoachinVegas]

beautiful!!

[WRX2]

nice voice, its just the accent and the pronounciation. I know she is singing english but I cant understand it. :)

[syelamuscat]

hindi ko maintindihan ang lyrics.. japanissss talaga!! haha! basta mas ok sakin si UTADA!

[joelvanrijn]

nadale mo serene0210! hehe kuhang kuha lyrics ah! hehe (mas mataas boses ni arnel dito)

[agentrupert01]

mejo may pagka pinoy mga words nya? lyk tunaw,tambay,, macho? tungkol ba yung song sa alone na tambay,, na-tunaw cya daHil macho?

[iweddiamamumhehe]

mga bobo kayong pinoy BOOOOOOOOOBO. eh japanese yan eh panong may pagka pinoy mga words nya? mga tangaaaaaaaaa!

[kenzho]

galing ni Serene0210, tamang tama yun lyrics na tinaype mo sa lyrics na kinakanta niya hehe.. nahihirapan sila magpronounce kaya ganun..

wala parin tatalo kay Arnel Pineda natin! Angat ang lahing Pinoy!

pero kakatawa siya.. tamang tama un lyrics mo. hehehe.

[serene0210]

anyway, di ko alam kung sikat sya dito pero avril lavigne daw sya ng japan... nahihirapan talaga magpronounce mga japanese ng english, ung L ginagawang R atbp. nasanay nako sa kanila pero minsan natatawa pa rin ako.=p

[dardir00]

Allvarligt! jag pratar för fan bättre engelska än henne! det stör mej när hon hoppar över vissa ord! hon hade varit jätte bra om hon kunnat texten!

[trenren]

patawa ka...ayusin mo english mo..wala akong naintidihan kundi "Alone" lang

[joelvanrijn]

hehehe... korak!!! langya...alam kaya nito kinakanta nitong t'nang to!? hehehe

[denimcatfish]

I love how she has these little Jack Sparrow movements once in a while.. XD Love her.

[ivoluzione]

watch Alone by the Zoo BAnd

[acataline]

Great cover, and if English is her second language, all the better. She did skip that high note Anne hits at (2:08) but if she tried, I think she could do it. Very close to the original, even matching that classic piano sound. She really knows how to work the mic. Beautiful work!

[Nahriel]

No you don't, and for that I give her mad props. She's doing it because she loves the songs and enjoys singing them and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. For that alone and in itself I give her props for boldly doing something that not many would dare aside from just being an amazing artist.

[rdushir]

I didn't say she was bad but I don't feel a connection to any songs in a language i don't know... she could know english I'm just saying that she doesn't sing it nearly as well as anything in her native language

[dbesthair23]

thats called being ignorant lol~ man, you broaden up your mind once in a while bud lol. english singers singing in japanese lol.. youre an idiot, english is a world defined language you cannot compare a cover band with an original any day

[rdushir]

oh sorry but I'm not ignorant... I never said she was bad but would you sing in a language you don't use everyday... I just feel like she doesn't know what she's saying... she's good but why is it a sin that I don't like it when people sing in languages that their accent doesn't fit into. It's just an opinion... I don't hate her I just don't like the way her accent sounds with the song... but I guess I'm just an ignorant douche

[Nahriel]

Ok everyone, this ends here. NO ONE is an ignorant douche here for just stating an opinion. However, I will not tolerate people bashing on her or each other on ANY of my videos. Everyone that does so will get their comments deleted no ifs ands or buts.

[geroniel]

wonderful voice... like shakira....  her voise is perfect for bands playing in bars.... loud and clear....

[199studiosC]

Haha, I think shes sick! (Good Sick) Japanese accents are sexy.. and when heard over a song I like, its pretty cool. Plus, she rocks!

[Eliza0girl]

is she japanese??

though I think she doesn't know what words she pronouncing, I still think she sings great!

[Nahriel]

Yes, she is japanese. ^^

[Jeffieboi]

I like her voice actually, but the accent is horrible. I know the words and it's still hard to understand.

[GMPenance]

She can´t sing at all! But god damn!! She looks like an angel

[Nahriel]

You obviously haven't bothered to look up her work or you wouldn't have said that. She's one of the most talented singers out there today. This video is not a good exsample to judge her with seeing as it's not being sung in her native language.

[lobmo]

Good lord she is hot!!!!!!!!!

[sabriades]

pede na rin!!! to aya kamiki; pede ka na maganda ka naman pero konting praktis lang gagaling ka nyan sa english! god bless po!!

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

I think that if she learned how to speak English AND Japanese she would be BETTER. I LOVE this girl's voice, style and presence. DAMN. Rock/Pop at it's best in the forms of Utada Hikaru, Nikki McKibbin, Anastacia and now Aya Kamiki.

[zues211]

I can't really understand her but it doesn't really matter SHE IS HOT!!!!!

[fanatic10387]

can't believe shes japanese yet she's good at singing this english song!

[ProjectRevolution]

Wow I think she did a great job! I was surprised as I thought her voice would be higher. And I think she got the lyrics pretty well for being japanese as I hear other asian singers sing english songs and the accents are pretty much the same all around, and english not being their first language it's rather difficult.

[juicybluesun]

dont like the sound of the band playing at all, no offence, but theres no feeling. Shes good though, hhaha good mix of languages.

[Von1beck]

Kill the drummer!!

[TheMusicAndTheMisery]

i agree :/

[chuchoseguramx]

What really bothers me is the mix of the whole band, it's not drummers fault (he's not doing a bad job) that cymbals but mainly hihats are above all the instruments level, even above the guitar on the solo...

[RaunchyRocker]

Fantastic !!!

[ScottishLassie0080]

see i just dont think ppl should sing songs without bein able to even say the words properly...and i think she killed it. no offence if she's usually good :)

[hanky2112]

lol I hear ya , great voice-learn the words ...

oh look , the drummer has a Roland Handsonic like me :D

[lilmissneko]

This is one of my favorite songs. She sounds pretty good singing it I think.

[babiione]

she's an amazing singer... but I have to agree it is difficult listening to her english...doesn't ruin the song just makes it difficult to follow if you're someone like myself who listens to not only vocals but the lyrics too.

thanks for the upload

[zeryic]

i agree, the timing and arrangement were great. but her accent ruins the song.

[Othraerir]

Dunno about better than the original, but she sure is hotter than Nancy! :)

[Othraerir]

My very bad, I mean Anne, no disrespect, one of the greatest bands from the 80's :)

[tauras88d]

GREAT VIDEO...D

[tazidol]

i love the video.. they totally rock!!!! go AYA

[keekp]

Excellent singer!!! Bad english, though. Ruins the song a bit, but still a very good job.

[dgramatte1]

she's good...but damn, thnat arrangement is hot too. that beat has got me wanting to have this for a karaoke version

[parachuteboi]

better than heart's version thats 4 sure!

[OwArAnAiSlaVe]

Does anyone know where I can get the whole live? JPopSuki has no more seeders...

-OwaranaisLaVe

[Nahriel]

I actually think I uploaded this to megaupload recently. If you want I can send you the link.

[OwArAnAiSlaVe]

The whole live show or this performance? Either way, I'll take whatever you have! :) Thanks!

-OwaranaisLaVe

[Nahriel]

the whole live show. I cut this out myself from the whole thing along with a few others ^^ I'll go see if it's still in my inbox and if not I'll reupload it for you =D

[shortiis]

Aww! Thanks :) I still have to watch her concert, my friend bought it a few weeks ago. Can't wait! I really like her and I still think she's got to be at least something other than Japanese!

-OwaranaisLaVe

[rbilleaud]

I'm a huge Heart fan and these guys are actually pretty decent. Whenever I think that someone's accent is bad, I think how an American artist must sound trying to sing in another language - they probably think the same thing. You have to applaud the effort for someone learning how to sing in another language.

[TinaMegDavie]

i love her make-up,clothes,voice

she's so pretty.i wish i looked like that.

[Nyarlathotep9]

She might not understand the language 100%, but Aya certainly understood the emotion behind the song. I've also heard this song butchered by performers for whom English was their first language, and this little Japanese girl stomped them.

Good for her :D.

[shyngo]

That really is not bad at all.

Especially since i've heard many people botch this, and they were fluent in english.

[metalhottie1]

damn shes good for not knowing english well kick asss!!!

[SuperMamiMan]

shes cute

[IchLiebenBill]

Awesome!!! Nice, i've never saw a japanese girl singing my fave song!!! good job!

[niceicedudeman]

not bad...not bad at all...

[himmelskekvinne]

すきだよ

[jason75]

she's good. jap accent she's got to lose it

[kitsune428]

The accent makes it more original...

[makaoala]

hey uh...you can't say "jap"

it's offensive...was it really too hard to type the "apanese" after it?

[jhatakeyama]

もう少し発音を綺麗にして。。。声は綺麗です。発音はまだまだ何­言ってるんだかまったくわからない。she sings well but learn to pronounce words well...you have a  good voice

[rockethtown]

she did better then C underwood did hehehe..Not bad

[survivorfan843]

shes pretty good, i just wish i could hear what she's saying, its like she's speaking some other language.

[Soreonnanoko]

she has a really strong Japanese accent when she says thing in english

[Haxxes]

I Can't understand her english :s:o

[luinc]

is aya from japan?

yes she is, and she's a japanese artist, so seeing anything in english is al
