Charice At 17 & Her Childlike Cheerfulness - A Glimpse Of The Past itchelielie - 6,384 views - 1 month ago
NOT INTENDED FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT PLEASE DO NOT DELETE
The video is a compilation from captured moments of Charice featuring just a few of her many eye-catching childlike innocence, cheerfulness and inherent antics. To many of us , Charice has become our unfailing source of delight and wonder over the internet.
About the background song: At Seventeen (released date 1975) by Janis Ian has been inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008. In fact Celine Dion, Charice's idol has also recorded a cover of the song. The cover version of Claire Amber is incorporated in this video (NOT INTENDED FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT ). The video is only a fancy of mine owing to my deep appreciation of Charice. Almost everybody can relate to this song , we remembered being seventeen like it was only yesterday or last year . Charice turned Seventeen a few days ago (10 May 2009), thus the song is chosen as relevant soundtrack of this video with lyrics in true karaoke transition. I no longer have to wonder if Charice will sing this song someday, the outcome would be predictable, piece of cake for her being a versatile singer. It would be the best of all covers.

Mayumi Itsuwa-(4/9/09) Dakishimete (Hold Me Tight) w/ English & Romaji Subtitles itchelielie - 1,220 views - 3 months ago
Dakishemete (Hold Me Tight or Embrace Me Close) was one of Mayumi Itsuwas unforgettable hits in the 80s along with the famous Koibito Yo, Kokoro No Tomo, Amayadori, Ribaibaru, Sayonara, Atsui Sayonara, etc. Romaji and English subtitles are embedded in the video in karaoke / videoke transition. Kudos to my online friend for providing the Romaji lyrics as well as the English translation. Thank you friend.

Caveat : This video presentation is a project.
I stumbled on this rare video of Mayumi Itsuwa online which she sang live in a medley. (She sang the first stanza and refrain only and went on with the next song). I was wanting for more. Then I found Mayumis complete audio version of this song (Dakishimete-Embrace Me Close or Hold Me Tight) in one streaming audio site. Being an avid fan of Mayumi Itsuwa, I decided to make a project by combining those audio and video. With a little tweaking and manipulation of the video (timing of studio recording is different from her live performance with orchestra) I completed this edited vid and I hope you like it. The live orchestra audio was deleted and replaced with her (Mayumi Itsuwa) commercial studio recording to give an impression of a complete live performance of this song. However, the audio quality is not as good as the commercial one from CD or DVD because its source was from streaming record. From the 2nd stanza up to the end, the video is mere duplication of the first part with variations in frame size and some video insertions. The video is distorted slightly (either decreasing or increasing the frame rate of a particular video segment) so that the singers lip movement will synchronize with the lyrics. Maybe if you are not reading this info you wont notice at all. I only want to be honest, setting modesty aside. I know it isnt perfect, anyway just tolerate any mistake. Enjoy!!!

For those who dont understand the Japanese language like me, theres always an extra joy from understanding the music lines, (especially when sung by your favorite artist like Mayumi Itsuwa) thus the English subs of this song being added in the video. Again, many thanks to my online friend in YouTube who handed me the Romaji lyrics along with the English translation.

(Lyrics and English translation):
DAKISHIMETE
(Hold Me Tight / Embrace Me Close)
(By Mayumi Itsuwa)

SASAYAKA NA SHIAWASE NI YOISHIRETE ITA WATASHI
I, who have been intoxicated in meager happiness

ITSUKAWA OWARU YUME TO KOKORO DE SHIRINAGARA MO
Even while knowing in my heart that someday my dream will end

SOO YOO WATASHI WA ANATA O SHINU HODO AI SHITE SHIMATTA NO
Thats the kind of I, who will love you until I die

DAKARA DAKISHIMETE NANIMO IWAZU NI
Therefore please embrace me without saying anything

WAKARE O TSUMERU SONO MAE NI
Before we part

UNMEI WA ZANKOKU NO AI SUREBA SORE DAKE
If you love, it only brings you cruel fate.

ASHITA WA TADA HITORI NO SABISHISA O SHIRU BAKKARI
Tomorrow I will only know loneliness of being alone

ANATA GA NASHI DEMO WATASHI WA IKIRU WA
Even without you, I will live on

SHINPAI SHINAIDE NE
So dont worry (about me), ok?

DAKARA DAKISHIMETE
Therefore please hold me tight

NANIMO IWAZUNI
Without saying anything

NAMIDA GA.KATTE TOMARU MADE
Until the tears stop falling

DAKARA DAKISHIMETE
Therefore please hold me tight

NANIMO IWAZUNI
Without saying anything

Walay Angay Sung by Jaramie w/ Subtitles itchelielie - 557 views - 3 months ago
This is a re-uploaded video. The previous one, there was mistake on the composer's account. It was not the late Lucrecia Kasilag who composed the song, she composed "Themes and Variations" which was based on "Walay Angay" a Filipino Folk tune/love song (kundiman). Its translation, "there is no comparison to the pain of lost love. The lyrics of the song is partly Hiligaynon and Cebuano.

Young Naoko then sharing the limelight with veteran Mayumi in their outstanding rendition of the song Koibito Yo. Both are not only great singers but masters on the piano as well.
