Another rare song to share. Its original version with the same title was in Koji Tamaki's solo debut All I Do. Thanks to 乐半湾's help I finally found this cover.
Uploaded a rare song to share: 林叶亭's 吹泡泡等你. A very lovely and even teenagerish song. I'm still trying to find its Cantonese version.
Updated 02/08/09: Finally found the song "未想讲再见"by 区瑞强。It was in his rare album "许愿" in 1987, which was not released in CD. The one shared here was coverted from its original LP. Thanks for 宁's sharing.
The original song was from an OST Anzen Chitai did for a movie titled "プルシアンブルーの肖像".
Priscilla Chan did a fantastic job in covering Anzen Chitai's 碧い瞳のエリス, and the cover song has become a must-have for her fans when they are expected to pick their favorite Priscilla songs.

Hacken Lee of Hong Kong is always a good singer, especially in terms of those killing-me-softly love ballads. The following cover of Koji Tamaki's Melody is a good example.
Updated Feb. 2, 2009: Added another cover by 王开城,a Taiwan singer who contributed a version in Hokkien (Southern Min dialect).
In her 1989 big hit album "Forever your friend", Hong Kong singer Priscilla Chan covered Koji Tamaki's single "冰點" released the same year. Although a quite short song, its melancholic feeling is of as much touching power as her other hit songs.
Whenever asked about my favorite Japanese songs, the one that pops in my mind in the first place is always Anzen Chitai's 悲しみにさよなら (say goodbye to sadness). I don't know why, yet every time I listen to it, I feel there is no need for me to not cheer up. I guess, perhaps out of the same sort of liking, quite a few Chinese artists have covered this song. The following are what I have found so far:
After finding a way today to download a lot of rare songs for this project, I think I can speed up my sharing. Then, as the first song to share in the new year, I've chosen the song "Star" by Koji Tamaki. This song has been covered by the following three artists:
