Please tell me I'm not the only who think of The Carpenters, when I listen to Rie. She's got a wonderfully beautiful voice and is cute as a button on top of that.
like..shes not da prittest girl but her voice nd da way she sings..nd her songs..make up for it wayyyy more then enough. her voice is pritter then any american actress lol
@redtihor1 yeah, for that reason life is like a boat turned out to be one of my favourites. voice is another I like a lot but I wouldn't say it's a favourite of mine.
This isn't a case of lip sync, but aren't most music videos lip syncing? Not many, if any groups are able to produce the album version quality song live
The reason it may seem like lip syncing in this and other videos, is just the quality of the audio and the video do not match up on youtube. This causes it to seem like lip-syncing (which it probably is) but the timing wouldn't be so blatantly off.
How undeniably stupid are you people?! Everyone lip syncs during their videos. The purpose of the video is for when they talk, their mouth movement matches the recording. How stupid. . . This is a music video. She doesn't need to lip sync, she has a phenomenal voice. Go see her live, haters.
@Silverbolt100 True everyone lip synchs, however I have noticed that the ones for Rie don't synch up very well. Maybe its You Tube, maybe they overprocess it just a little too much. Actually i've noticed this on quite a few j-Pop videos.
I like tobira and You Come To Mind. I actually like Tobira album better than Rie Fu album. I can't say about Rose nor Urban Romantic because i haven't heard them yet. but still she is so awesome!
its more like she wants him to prove that he loves her ;) or else she would'nt say close your eyes and cry until i say i love you :D or it means something like that d:
then stick with the videos of live shows. Even then though, the udio and visul won't always match up - and that's actually recorded at the same time - since they record video and audio separately to get high quality recordings, and things don't always match up when put on a computer and messed with to post on a free video server.
im saying this b/c i want to "I am In love with Rie Fu" not cuz she's hot i dont care about that its her voice that attracts me b/c is so pure and fills me up with good emotions
She's such an amazing artist. I've really come to like her, especially ever since I heard "Life is Like a Boat." I swear that song was written about me.
From 1992 to 1995, Rie fu lived in Maryland with her family.Her first single was released in March 2004. Later that year, her song "Life is Like a Boat" was chosen as the Bleach ending theme, garnering her widespread recognition and demand. In 2005, a year after her debut, another song, I Wanna Go To A Place... was used as the Gundam Seed Destiny third ending song, and in 2006 her song Until I Say was used as the theme to the Japanese release of the 2005 British movie Heidi.
Her face, expecially the bottom half, reminds me of Yuna from FFX. Which makes sense since they would want to model a character after a combination of the faces of many beautiful japanese women. Just a thought I get when I see her singing this.
Yeah that song is awesome isn't it? I listened to it like a thousand times during New Years (Which is when I found the song.) I am also happy because I have that song on my ipod. You can get it from Lime Wire ^_^
Hey, am i the only one who thinks the piano reminds them of music from FFVII. Especially the piano collections and ADVENT CHILDREN. I just think they sound kinda similar. Demo, beautiful song, i love it... + her voice.
I think that her English sounds well as far as imitating the American accent. I think what you are hearing is her Japanese having somewhat of an effect with her words, but... There's nothing "UK" about her voice. It's evident that she lived here (USA).
u do know singers when they film mvs they're not actually singing? it's lip synching...lol im amazing more than half the world doesn't know this xDDDD
is it strange that just her voice can bring me to the point of catharsis?
