I don't appreciate Charice much at first but upon hearing this version of Mikazuki sang by her, it's like I was taken aback for somewhat reason...She's soo cool singing this...Mikazuki makes me remeber my bestfriend who moved to Japan...Hearing the english of it makes me nostalgic! Great singing Charice!
I also hoped that she would sing an english version of Utada Hikaru's "First Love" and Yuna Ito's "Alone Again" :))
This song should be a theme for Tanabata, it kinda fits the theme(^__^) And seriously no comparison between this and Ayaka's version b/c they carry the same spirit.
Charice, please make also a cover of my fave Japanaese song by Utada Hikaru called "First Love". It would sound great with your powerful vocals. Love Utada too!
Both Ayaka and Charice are really good. I like Ayaka's more since it's softer...idk it gives me goosebumps, it's nice. Charice's is really good too though.
I totally agree. Ayaka is such an incredible song writer. You should really check out "I Believe" and "Blue Days". Both songs have some of the most moving lyrics I've ever heard.
Japanese song writers deserve more recognition, am I right?
My predictions for Charice From June 2011 to June 2013 1. Best Female Performer in Grammy 2. Best Album of the Year ( Grammy) 3. Best Supporting Actress in Oscars 4. Best Actress in Oscars 5. Best Supporting Actress in Emmy 6. Best Actress in Emmy 7. Highest Paid young Actress in Hollywood 8. One of the richest in the world next to Oprah 9. Most influential woman in the world. 10. Highest Paid singer in the world.
@anromable: (: I really hope all these predictions will come true. Charice certainly deserved it. She is working hard to achieve everything. More blessings will come her way... Wooohoo,, way to go Cha !
I like how she sang this song. it sound so much more natural and more emotionally connected than when she belts out some of her other songs. Sometimes those are awesome too but I like her voice more like this tender and sweet with feeling.
Her lower register and tender tone is just delicious. I hope she'll have that in her new album too, not just the belting we all know she slays. And it'll probably not happen but it would be cool if the rest of the world hears this song.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
its too sucks too hear this kind of version i don't like charice to sing it in english version... you make ayaka's version sucks like you charice!....
I hope Charice would also sing my favorite Japanese song called "First Love" by Utada Hikaru both in English and Japanese versions. It would also sound great if she woulf sing it.
Okay, I've heard Hayley Westenra, Charice and Ayaka's version. In my opinion, the one with most emotion is Ayaka, Hayley's version is enchanting, and Charice's vocally best. I like all three!
i listened to both renditions, the original was good and is so good, superb..
until i heard charice's version -- cha's voice touched me deeply -- it was very soulful, rich and moving. i head goosebumps listening to charice. oh cha! your voice is heaven-sent indeed
i love both this version and Ayaka's. They both have very different voices that are unique in different ways. I can feel the emotions in Ayaka's version and Charice has a really beautiful voice for someone her age. I love both of their versions; can't easily choose between the two of them :D
I love both Ayaka and Charice to BITS, and both their voices are beautiful in their own way. Both songs have their own appeal. And I say that Charice did much more than enough justice to Mikazuki, in her own style.
parang sa sinabi mu balewala parin kahit maganda version ni charice di sana hindi tinangkilik ng mga japanese ang album ni charice eh nag-GOLD nga yung album nya sa japan engot ka pala kaya hindi uma-asenso pilipinas dahil sa mga taong katulad mung talangka natural si ayaka unang kumanta nyan eh kung kantahin din ni ayaka song ni charice ewan ko lang kung masabi mo pa yan sinasabi TALANGKA...
ayaka's version is rock ballad and charice's is pop RnB. I love the song and it is good that a song, as great as this, will be sang in different ways.. Charice doesn't need to imitate ayaka's way of singing, we know that she can belt way way better..the arranger and charice simply wants a softer version..maybe for people who loves pop songs =)

Ayaka mikazuki is a great singer guys, and the song does sound better in Japanese than in English. But to claim that Ayaka Mikazuki's voice is better than Charice's, you've got to be effin' deaf...
As a music student, I must say Ayaka doesn't sing this song very well from what I've heard. Not to say she isn't a fabulous singer in her own way, I don't listen to her enough to be a judge of that... But comparing the versions of this song, Charice does a much better job.

i wish that it would be used as the ending theme song for FFVIII for ps3 english version , and Ayaka's- Mikazuki for the FFVIII ps3 japanese version... (suggestions only) :D
ang ganda talaga kumanta ni charice. may naisip tuloy ako, anu kaya kung kantahin to ni charice using the japanese lyrics (or paghaluin nya ung japanese at english lyrics tulad nung ginawa ni hikki sa passion/sanctuary sa isa sa mga concert nya sa america) sa isang philippine anime/cosplay convention?
@cardcaptorhikari oo nga naisip ko rin yun, maganda kasi yung tunog ng japanese version eh. kung kakanta si charice using japanese lyrics.. ang ganda nun ;D
Umm . . . Can anybody tell me if this is in her new album or its just 1 song in an album . Coz I watch her performance in youtube and she said this song is included to her new album but IDK her new albums name is it only out in Japan or also here in U.S.A ? Pls . can someone tell me thank you . and umm . . . can you also add her new albums name . thank you very much .
Ayaka's verion is more mellow than Charice's version. . Charice kinda placed some R&B style in this song. . sooooo HUSH people. . don't compare their version. LOL. xD
@DarkSantino25 yeah coz ayaka's version is the original and i agree with you but charice in my opinion did great singing the english version of the song.. The song is really good.. the lyrics, tempo, etc.. japanese songs is really amazing.. love the song..
waaaah!! 2months ago pa nrelease toh?? kat tagal q tong hininty... huhuhu ang ganda khit forced ung lyrics... carry ni CHA.. love it! naiiyak aq... (T.T) =>wait. nbasa q lng xa comments ng iba na #1 toh xa jap ngaun.. AS IN?!?!!?! omo!!
Who produced the song? I like her "Charice" album but it was not a mesh with her voice the r&b, US pop. She should really bring asian pop, all the style to America. Asian pop is foing to catch on here in US, i can just feel it and starting to notice lots of different ethnicties listening to asian pop. She should really take this oppurtunity and work with top-notch asian producer from all countries. And this song suits her voice perfectly. This is the most I typed in youtube comment box. hahaha
OMG!! a fellow Filipina made an english version of my favorite song from my favorite artist (ayaka)!!! now you made me proud! a bit different but nice version!
The lyrics in Charice's version sound totally forced. Besides, Ayaka is a true artist who writes her own music while Charice clearly does not, so there really is no comparison.
@Nari347 So? are you finished? do you understand the word english version? I mean capital E_N_G V-E-R-S-I-O-N? it doesnt say original version so NARI247, common sense pls?
@Nari347 When you say forced what do you mean?True artist? So other singers that don't write their songs are not true artist? If you're trying to bash someone just to put that person in a disadvantage thats not good. I can say a lot about charice which ayaka cannot do. So, there is really no comparison. You get what i mean? Hope you are not the one others say you are.
@kixcorner well... if you would say about the "the language you can understand" (since I can understand both), I think Hayley Westenra's english version is much better... charice's lyrics don't really rhyme and sounds like it hasn't been thought about deeply... and Hayley was the first to make an English version by the way... have a look, and compare.. ^_^
hmmm.. I like the Original Japanese version Mikazuki by Akaya better! I think charice tried too hard and just ruined the song! watch the orignal song and tell me im wrong! peace out.. ^_^
@fanicharice well.. when it comes to the english version... I think that Hayley Westenra's version is much better... charice's lyrics don't rhyme much and don't fit... try watching it.. and you can compare... ^_^
I really, really love this song. I've heard of the original version by Ayaka, and as much as I can feel the emotion in the melody and her singing, I could not absorb it since I didn't know what Ayaka was singing about. Charice really did an awesome job here.
OMGWHHYYYYY???!!! why do they have to translate mikazuki in english? it's better in japanese. dont get me wrong, I like Charice but this just sounded a bit weird and... not as emotional as Ayaka's japanese version.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@huntress44 I totally agree with you. Charice's version really has nothing on Ayaka's original, and frankly, this song is nothing more than a generic cover.
@Nari347 SO? yeah yeah yeah. NARI347 you are number one. You are the best of all the best, unbendable, unbreakable. Satisfied? Point is, dont listen to this version.If u dislike it. I mean go for your 'prefered' version, then shut your mouth. Simple.
I have a soft spot for the Japanese version, especially when Ryeowook of Super Junior covered it, but this is amazing!!!!!! I really look up to Charice. TwT
@26citabensurto- is that for real? that great.... i love this song its realy relaxing... i always listen to this song... to all help me where can i download this song because i have already the MP3 format so that i can share it with you
Two people who don't like, you probably have to check your disability. Or you may be listening disability at least. sorry for that ...I know the people who dislike are anti-Charice song. And jealous that she has more respective performance than yours....!!!

Ayaka's verion is more mellow than Charice's version. . Charice kinda placed some R&B style in this song. . sooooo HUSH people. . don't compare their version. LOL. xD

Who produced the song? I like her "Charice" album but it was not a mesh with her voice the r&b, US pop. She should really bring asian pop, all the style to America. Asian pop is foing to catch on here in US, i can just feel it and starting to notice lots of different ethnicties listening to asian pop. She should really take this oppurtunity and work with top-notch asian producer from all countries. And this song suits her voice perfectly. This is the most I typed in youtube comment box. hahaha

The lyrics in Charice's version sound totally forced. Besides, Ayaka is a true artist who writes her own music while Charice clearly does not, so there really is no comparison.

@Nari347 When you say forced what do you mean?True artist? So other singers that don't write their songs are not true artist? If you're trying to bash someone just to put that person in a disadvantage thats not good. I can say a lot about charice which ayaka cannot do. So, there is really no comparison. You get what i mean? Hope you are not the one others say you are.

@kixcorner well... if you would say about the "the language you can understand" (since I can understand both), I think Hayley Westenra's english version is much better... charice's lyrics don't really rhyme and sounds like it hasn't been thought about deeply... and Hayley was the first to make an English version by the way... have a look, and compare.. ^_^

I really, really love this song. I've heard of the original version by Ayaka, and as much as I can feel the emotion in the melody and her singing, I could not absorb it since I didn't know what Ayaka was singing about. Charice really did an awesome job here.

OMGWHHYYYYY???!!! why do they have to translate mikazuki in english? it's better in japanese. dont get me wrong, I like Charice but this just sounded a bit weird and... not as emotional as Ayaka's japanese version.
people are gonna hate me for this ):

@huntress44 I totally agree with you. Charice's version really has nothing on Ayaka's original, and frankly, this song is nothing more than a generic cover.
