Only You vs. cover

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.

李为-Only You











玉置浩二-Only You







ゆびきり vs. covers

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".

林叶亭-吹泡泡等你









区瑞强-未想讲再见










安全地带-ゆびきり

碧い瞳のエリス vs. cover

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.

陈慧娴-痴情意外


痴情意外 - 陳慧嫻 - Priscilla Chan

じれったい vs. cover

The legendary Hong Kong artist Leslie Cheung is a well known nice dancer. Among his best dance beat songs, one can never forget the following ones.

拒絕再玩-張國榮


拒絕再玩 - 張國榮


拒绝再玩(国语版)-张国荣



じれったい - Anzenchitai 安全地帯

We Are Alive vs. cover

It took me quite a while to find the cover song of Anzen Chitai's We Are Alive. Accidentally I found a Japanese site that works on finding Chinese covers and Japanese originals and finally solved the problem that troubled me for long.

雷安娜-再开始


再开始-雷安娜

Melody vs. cover

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).

李克勤-想妳的舊名字
王开城-你在伊身边










冰點 vs. cover

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.

陳慧嫻-冰點



冰點-陳慧嫻


氷点-Koji Tamaki

悲しみにさよなら vs. covers

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:

蔡國權-誰最愛你
杜麗莎-再見悲哀
陳松齡-愛的傷口
何潤東-陪我去看藍藍的海
木吉他-没有人比你懂我的心
徐玮-深情的印痕
田希仁-伪装

Personally I like He Rundong's version best. Perhaps its feel just fits that of the original song.
















Finally, the original version of Anzen Chitai.


Thanks again for favoritesinoriginals' ,风生水起 and gigi's sharing. :)

ひとりぼっちの虹 vs. cover

I guess not many people remember this cover...

麦天伦-永远记得




永远记得-麦天伦

黄昏はまだ远 vs. cover

It took me a while to find the following video of this cover song by Cai Ji Wen, a Hong Kong singer.

蔡济文-望窗的季节



The original version of Anzen Chitai.

戀の予感 vs. covers

Among my favorites of Anzen Chitai/Koji Tamaki songs, 恋の予感 is definitely one that I won't miss out. The following are three covers by HK singers.

陳百強-冷風中
黎明-一夜傾情
鍾鎮濤- 迷離地帶
黎明-谁领我的心靠岸




冷風中 - Danny Chan 陳百強




一夜傾情 - Leon Lai 黎明




迷離地帶 - Kenny Bee 鍾鎮濤


黎明-谁领我的心靠岸

The original version by Anzen Chitai.


Thanks to Favoritesinoriginals' sharing.~~

Star vs. covers

Happy New Year!

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:

黎明(Leon Lai) - 告訴我你會在夢境中等我
林慧萍-给男人的摇篮曲
陈德容-默契




给男人的摇篮曲Lullaby to Man - 林慧萍Lin HUiping


默契Moqi - Chen Derong

The original version by Koji Tamaki.
