I like this song, and also your cover. The only part I dislike is the part where it sounds sad, also makes me kinda sad... :(

[kaorihanao]

whats important, is to feel this song.. reflect back to ur past, ur first love...

[humanelemento]

You are beautiful in many levels. Your have wonderful and beautiful voice :). And secondly, to choose to sing a song in different language makes you even more beautiful, sophisticated, and worldly. Keep up the good work.

[kakaru26]

i like your voice!!!!

[1jzmk3]

Awesome!! You did great!!

[octoceasar]

WAAAAAAAA! You brought out how this song is supposed to sound. Sadness, sorrow, and loneliness. T__T

[sophanalorm]

You did an excellent job! very mellow and ineffably beautiful...Great job on the guitar too! :)

[nikuniku363]

良いなあ・・・



[6denashi608]

Well done. It's a great song and you did it well, especially considering you don't speak Japanese. If you haven't already, you should read the translation of the lyrics; the words are just as sad as the music.

[586185]

wow, you have a vocal i called it as "smooth vocals" just some advise though, try to train more on your vocal. you were off on some puny parts. and lastly, i think english songs suits you better. overall: nice vocal, wrong song.

[EmoUzumaki]

Oh yay 8D

[ilovetosing013]

i'll admit , when i heard the beginning , i thought it was going to be horrible , but i kept listening , and i'm glad i did , you're freaking awesome :D i haven't seen anyone do a cover of this song as good as you , awesome job ^_^

[candyhearts8]

WOW this is amazing especially for someone who doesn't even speak Japnesse! You really should go onto amerixan idol!

[OnceUponOurLives]

@candyhearts8 oh my word! that is too scary! lol!  it's nerve racking enough to post these vids online, but to perform in front of millions and on tv?! i'd crack and pass out on stage. lol! besides, people who go on AI are either fluent on a musical instrument or vocally trained...i am neither. but thank you so much for the nice comment! ;)

[Xnoraia4]

You aver very beautiful and did a very good job...but it sounds so sad...

[OnceUponOurLives]

@Xnoraia4 i know, right? i think the song is supposed to be sad. i watched the actual music video and she looked sad and heartbroken on there so i tried to inject that sadness in here. most of the songs i sing are mellow or 'sad' but normally i' ap chipper goofball. ;P

[Sephern]

@Xnoraia4 It's actually a song about her first love that broke her heart, but she'll always remember him because he taught her how to love. It's sad AND it's sweet. :)

[6chiana1]

respect... tho i dont speak jap, but ur pronunciation sounds perfect. =]

[OnceUponOurLives]

@6chiana1 :D  thanks! i was afraid i messed it up.

[madzandjun]

awsome!

[JohanGT]

wowp that was pretty cool!

[mrssexikat]

you r really good at singing. i bet u can go into american idol and show simon wat a good singer u r!

[OnceUponOurLives]

@mrssexikat i'm a huge fan of simon! he cracks me up!

[kgrayman]

r u pinoy?

[OnceUponOurLives]

@kgrayman a third, yes.

[OnceUponOurLives]

@cjinspector thanks. i just listened to the original over and over and had the written words in front of me. also asked my japanese friends how to pronounce certain parts. ;)

[Takuromachka]

Ｐｅｒｆｅｃｔ！

[OnceUponOurLives]

@Takuromachka oh thank you! i appreciate it!

[SAIDON92]

beautifully done

[OnceUponOurLives]

@SAIDON92 thank you! i'm glad you didn't think i butchered it! :)

[TheMicah94]

what's your native language then?

[OnceUponOurLives]

@TheMicah94

hiya...my first language is english. i can understand some spanish, korean and tagalog. i can speak limited conversational spanish and a few korean phrases.

[actor213]

wow nice one...nice voice......i like it

[OnceUponOurLives]

@actor213 i'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

[xsomegirl]

love it u have a beautiful voice :D

[OnceUponOurLives]

@xsomegirl thanks so much! ;)

[jvkenshin416]

very nice cover! you have an angelic voice... i think i'm in love... lol...

[OnceUponOurLives]

@jvkenshin416 LOL! thanks.

[Sephern]

This is amazing, your Japanese on it is great (took it for 3 years with 100% Japanese teachers), your voice is angelic, and don't worry about those few mistakes with the guitar, we're listening to the song, your pretty voice, and watching your pretty face. :p

[OnceUponOurLives]

@Sephern wow, thanks! i'm glad i didn't butcher the japanese too much. i was self conscious about that when i recorded. there's nothing worse than someone singing in a language foreign to them and screwing it all up. haha.

[Sephern]

@OnceUponOurLives Lol, I know what you mean, but you did incredibly well. This is actually my favorite cover of this song. :) You do covers really well, do you do any original work?

[shixtsuxren]

hikki is a hard act to follow and coming from a japanese person, you were really good. keep on singing. flavor of life please

[HHX19880811]

oh my, your voice is amazin

[OnceUponOurLives]

@HHX19880811 thanks!

[polatahiskali]

your voice is very beautiful like yourself

[polatahiskali]

it is very good and your voice is very beautiful

[OnceUponOurLives]

@polatahiskali thank you!

[Chuethou]

very good!

[OnceUponOurLives]

@Chuethou thank you.

[viorom]

your voice sounds so sweet!! perfect!

[OnceUponOurLives]

@viorom thank you!

[OnceUponOurLives]

Thanks! This song was a challenge because I don't speak Japanese and I had to listen to the original over and over to learn the lyrics and fiddle around with the notes to arrange the music. Haven't been playing the guitar long though. I just started to self teach myself when I started my YouTube channel. I use YT as an online diary of my progress and also to entertain my family. ;)

[NinjaPoohtan]

You did exceptionally well considering you do not speak Japanese, though Utada had written an English version of the song I thought you might like to know if you felt more comfortable singing in English. (:

[jvkenshin416]

@NinjaPoohtan did Utada herself write it? coz i thought the english version was written and covered by Jessa Zaragosa, (filipina singer/actress).
