@Smileater I'm not talking about when she says "xie xie" (which I know very well is Chinese), I'm talking about 3:40-3:50 which I am quite sure is Japanese (& a bit of Okinawan) lol.
At least the translator has done his or her best to be faithful to the original lyrics. That doesn't stop it from sounding a bit flat in English. Listen to Rimi Natsukawa for the definitive version.
but i like the natsukawa-san's version better, there's more feeling in it.. it makes me more hm... you can feel the sadness emotion in her voice and the way she sings it it's so beautiful
Hayley Westenra is wonderful singer :D
She can sing Japanese language

It was ok in English, but then the Japanese coda at the end really made the song. Also, lol at everyone cheering at the camera during a sad song XD

後面的管弦樂團配樂也很棒, 雖然剛開始幾秒有點和海莉的歌聲節奏有一點時間差, 但整體仍不錯, 不知道是台灣的樂團嗎? 指揮是誰?

@zoomingvictor 看世運的節目是高雄市交響樂團,高雄市國樂團,或國立臺北藝術大學的樂團.
