voices + melodies

Hmm. There're a lot of voices that i admire. Feel like sharing info bout this singer here. She's
有里知花, Yuri Chika. I think da first song that allows me approach closer to her voice is
---世界中であなただけ---, which literally means "Just you in the world". Or maybe this wasnt her first song that i've listened to, but it certainly is a song that 'entices' me to her voice + music. XD

Da intro of this song already is a value added one. Hmm... I dunno how to describe. HAHAHA, cuz my english suckz, apatah lagi those noun/adj for music. It's like...when u're listening to da song, u will hav a feeling tat you're floating/flying in the air~ No kidding. Hehe. Or mayb i interpreted this together with the lyric? haha. There's this phrase of music, which is da chorus. Also, that's the only part in the song tat i understand. Haha, cuz the rest were written in japanese.


#If i were a bird, i would fly to you

i wann fly to you but i don't have any wings

if only my wish would come true, i would say to you

in this world, there is no one else but you#

There's a bridge b4 the last-time-chorus. It's quite similar with da 2nd verse of the song, however with ornaments. So that brings da climaxs to da whole song, and then... FLY with the chorus. haha. This song was composed by her, as well as the lyric part. Cool~ Da arrangement's oso nice nice. Other than Rie Fu, i think her english is quite good among japanese singers. =)
Here are some info bout how ppl commented bout her.


有里知花音乐世家

出身于音乐世家，3岁始学习钢琴，逐渐开始作曲。中学时参加“English Drama Club”。从古典音乐到音乐剧，用自己的歌声和舞蹈来表现。现在大学英语专业毕业，喜欢到一切接触到大海的活动，这已经成为她音乐创作的源泉。去年开始有里知花开始学习中文。 2001年7月，大学在读期间由东芝EMI发行单曲<花>，并以此成名。 Yuri Chika1981年5月1日出生于Yakohama的一个音乐世家，3岁开始学钢琴，并且学会了自己作曲。幼年时曾多次到访Hawaii，Hawaii温暖而又美丽的海令她流连往返。在她的音乐中常常可以感受到一股浓郁宜人的Hawaii风情，清凉的海水、温柔的海风依稀可见。2000年8月，有理知花的首张单曲CD《I Cry》在日本发行，其反响不但遍步全日本，还波及到了海外，在Hawaii更是创下了点播率的新高。同年11月，由Hawaii著名音乐制作人Kenneth Makuakane为她度身定作的首张专辑《Hana花》也接踵而至，很快就得到了多方的关注，迅速等上了电台点播率第一的位置。 有理知花多次到过中国，其中两次到过广州。在广州中山大学，她受到大学生的热烈欢迎。 的确，寂寞无人的夜，听Yuri Chika温暖动人的声音，将是一种特别的享受。

And there's another article, which's about "治疗系" music, that was related with Yuri Chika as well.

在日本流行乐坛上“治疗系”音乐曾引起好一阵时间的热卖，被生活、工作或是学业压的喘不过气来的21世纪人类，正好被这样的音乐给吸引。从’99年钢琴大师土反本龙一的“BTTB”演奏音乐开始，这股抚慰人心的音乐风潮就从未间段过。但最近“治疗系”的音乐已渐渐在日本退潮，根据日本娱乐指针性刊物《日经娱乐2003年10月号》的报导指出因为大家渐渐发觉虽然治疗系音乐可以抚慰心灵，但是如果有那种“只有‘治疗’是不够的！还要‘解压’才会更舒服”的音乐，才是更治本的方法。于是从健康食品开始大量以“解压”为诉求的产品纷纷推出，而各唱片公司则是不约而同地开始推出一系列所谓的“解压系”音乐。其中最成功的“女子十二乐坊”以解压音乐创造销售近百万张纪录。而今年以翻唱南方之星畅销曲《海啸》而在台湾的电台强力放送，引起一股解压风潮的日本女歌手“有里知花”，以轻柔舒服的歌声搭上了这股风潮。
