I love valkyria chronicles then after hearing her beautiful siren voice im hooked can't wait for this album (better then this x facter ball we are getting here in the uk )
It’s been revealed that anime singer HIMEKA will be releasing her 1st album, “Himekanvas“, on November 30th 2011. The album will include “Hatenaki Michi“, the ending theme song for “Tegamibachi“, and the ending theme song for “Senkou no Night Raid“. This past summer, she held a live concert at the anime convention, “OTAKUTHON“, in Canada.
her "na" sound from "Kizuna" sounds un-Japanese like o.O
not hating on her, I came across this video while searching for "asu no yoichi"
after reading the comments and researching a little, all I can say about her is holy shit! She won the national Japanese singing contest in the home country of Japan... That's enough for me to go nuts... Love her now =o
thats the op for VC The anime !!!!!!!!!!!!!! i never think even a once she is himeka !! the girl we love from 2006 !! she is awesome and the words cant describe the the awesome of this girl or the song .. she did her dream and i was really happy that she wins ^^ .. her voice like the japanese .. she love japan and i dont blame her really .. she got one of the best voices really love it .. god bless u
I'm a fan since Tegami Bachi :D I really like Hatenaki Michi <3 Her voice is unique and gosh I love people who speak good japanese even though they come from another country (just cause I want to be the same though *study study*) xD it's really amazing what she made out of herself with training to reach her goal!
She has a great voice. And I didn't even knew that she was Canadian. She doesn't have any accent at all. Himeka you're the best!:) This song is my favourite ^__^
didn't recognize that the singer is not a Japanese when i heard this song in the anime "valkyria chronicles"...she sings like a Japanese ang it's cool...nice voice and song...
*in shock* *great clap*. at first watching senjou .. i thought it was a jap who was singing and ended up it was not . bow to her in respect. she was fantastic. i agree that she sings better than any other ppl :D
i would love to hear her sing in french too^^ she does japanese well and i am curious to hear what her voice sounds like in french? she's so cute!~ way to go Himeka!~
She's a example of perseverance. She really studied, practiced and learned what she knew she needed to know to go on her dreams. I wonder how many times she thought about giving up, but she continued believing that for every effort you make, there is always a reward. Congratulations Himeka, you are an inspiration for me!!! Be sure that there is one person in Brazil rooting for you!!!
がんばつて!!!
One day I hope be able to record my bass in the same music you're singing... ^^
its really nice to see someone not Korean or Japanese doing pretty well as a singer in Japan. Japan is a hard music market for foreigners to break into, and she gives me so much hope. its cool seeing someone not Asian singing in Japanese. change is good =]
It's called LEARNING. She is originally Canadian, from Quebec to be more precise. Her first language was French. She learned English from watching Disney movies, then Japanese from watching anime (and learning it). If you didn't know her, she was a youtube singer. She became a pro from a contest. Congratulations! Now you know more about HIMEKA XP!
That girl is from Canada. Her dream was to sing animes songs in japan. That's the dream that she have reached. I really dont get your point that "She shouldn't sing in japanese"... Get out of your house, go see the real world, you can be interested in foreing countries cultures and try yourself at it, who knows, they might even fit you more than your own. That Girl is an example of what somebody can do with lots of will and determination. She's just amazing.
@Serjreaven You´re so right! I loved that song when i heared it as the Opening to the Valkyria Chronicles anime. Even a native japanese singer could make it better
Why shouldn't she sing in japanese??? After all, it's the music, that is important, isn't it? You really shouldn't forget about this :(
And I think the video is wonderful!!! The colours are really nice and Himeka herself looks like a beautiful fairy that just came out of a dream!
I just want to say, that music is not bound to languages or origins, it is something that comes from the heart and musicians but so much effort and a part of themselves into the music, everyone respect this! :D
then again, most ppl that's not japanese who sing in japanese are usually asians still... not that she's not good or anything, she's fine her singing, but the music video style i wouldnt say suit her
<33333 Forever supporting Himeka-sama, I'll always be a part of HimeYume (Himeka's fanclub name that I made up, lol, I need a day job) and always be ready to cheer her on and give encouragement whenever she needs it ^^ <33333
Well, not quite the same, most of my friends all have a lot of trouble with pronunciation, but it's a lot closer than, say, cantonese, korean or vietnamese.
You're right, there are some differences, but one you get the hang of it, it's pretty smooth! The hardest thing about japanese is that you have to ... invert .... the phrase.. @__@ THAT is confusing!
Anyway... I wish there was that king of contest for voice actors as well! XD
I love you, Himeka-san!
