I am a big fan of Mika Nakashima (the original singer) and one of my favorite songs ever...i have to say Hayley did justice to this song! The english translation is beautifully put together as Mika's Japanese lyrics. I love it. Hayley definitely put my faith back again that this song can be sung in English. Why do you say that...blame Boyz II Men. They did a cover version of this song and they ruin it for me! Seriously, try youtube Boyz II Men version, you know what i mean. Thumbs up to her!
this one much better than the male english version by eric martin. but park hyo shin cover even much better n the best. credit to nakashima mika, the original and the 1st singer of yuki no hana.
I'm not sure why but Youtube keeps adding half finished comments -_-
Either way, I'm curious as to if she has a cd with songs by Japanese singers/bands it seems that this is not the only one she covered, so I'll look it up because I'm pretty sure I'll like it.
Let me help you with the credit: the artist is Nakashima Mika and the song is Yuki no Hana. You can just make a minor edit and you're done.
@mutebanshee I know how to edit...and I meant that I 'DIDN'T' knew the artist before you mentioned it...
Hayley has 2 CDs with many covered songs (Hayley Sings Japanese Songs 1 & 2), but I don't know the original Japanese singers though. I have both CDs ordered from Japan and I'm really happy with this purchase! Totally worth it!
It was a pleasant surprise, I must say, better than expected and she gives her own twist to it while still being very true to the original, but it would be polite to credit the original artist, Mika Nakashima/Nakashima Mika
THis is fantastic...the best ..stongest from You !!!
.. You rock.... ..You are forever ..what melody..lyrics..goose bumps ...just to meet You...oh well ...You have touched me in a way that no oher woman singer has.
You are a bright bright star in my life....a new zealand dream come true
@mandolinjoe@colliezoya Hey, have you guys ever tried Twitter. Hayley does own a twitter account: @HayleyWestenra , please try to have a twitter account and follow her to receive her live messages (tweets) everyday. and of course you can reply some messages directly to her... ;D
@mingchunlin I do have Twitter, but I'm not really big fan of it. I do follow Hayley, but never had a respond from her personally. Though I understand that many people like to get a responds. But it's a good tip for mr. mandolinjoe here above....Youtube is not the place to send fan notes....;)

@mandolinjoe Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not Hayley.
Chances are that she won't read your lovely message here.
Perhaps you could go to the 'Hayley Westenra International forum'. I know she is reading messages from fans there!
I'm glad you like her just as much as I do!
