help finding covers of Ayu songs on CD
 

I'm looking for CDs by other singers containing cover versions of Ayu songs.

These have been mentioned in forum:

S.H.E. - About You (Chinese)
S.H.E. - Dearest (Chinese)
My Tam - Depend on you (Vietnamese)
Amanda Qin - Game (Chinese)
Angela Ann - TO BE (Chinese)
Shino Lin - End roll (Chinese)


Could anyone show me which CDs these (and any others you know of) are on? Please link to yesasia if possible.

The S.H.E songs are Xing Guang [about you...ish cover]~
http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.asp...id-1004074682/ It is the first track on the CD portion as well as the DVD. [Album is the Reaching for the Stars OST, for a drama they did..]

And the fifth track on http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.asp...id-1004097886/ , their Once Upon A Time album, titled "Yue Gui Nu Shen" or Bay Tree Goddess is the supposed Dearest cover.

Vietnamese CDs...you can get them in areas of Vietnamese concentration...

Garden Grove in CA and some parts of LA's Chinatown sell lots of CDs. The CDs may have lower production values so they may look bootleg. I have no idea how to distinguish boot from real lol.

Um, what state do you live in?

Thanks everyone. :)

Even if I found a store selling Vietnamese CDs I wouldn't know what to look for. Anyone ever seen a picture of the My Tam CD?

Do you know addresses of any?

Many covers ain't that good, though

If no one manages to find a pic, I recommend writing the artist and song name on the piece of paper and showing it to store owners lol.

Umm, I did a little googling and I didn't find the cd, but apparently the song appears in a few compilation DVDs. Vietnamese music is big on compilation concerts (ala a-nation).

As for locations, umm in Garden Grove you just drive through the right area and there are stores everywhere I think...and chinatown, there's this marketplace that is tented and there are a buncha random shops lining some walkways. Lemme ask my mom when she gets home. Maybe I can pinpoint some exact locations.

I forgot about the FOREVER best lol

I didn't know if it had the songs.. :p

Ok so for Vietnamese music, if you're close by, Bolsa Ave. in Santa Ana. CDs stores everywhere. Just drive down the street and pick em out lol.

Eh, I dunno.. it might be full of the more recent things since the My Tam song was years ago..

^Oh, good job!
TH: Actually I think those stores usually have a lot of old CDs sitting around from ye olden days. You live pretty close by there, don't you?

Yes, I do.

But I don't dare step into them, for fears of Vietnamese music haunt me..

I found an online store with My Tam CDs. Thanks once again.

lol I sure don't blame you :). Production values of Vietnamese music / performances have really gone up in recent years; I'm impressed. It still doesn't click with me though because I can't help but feel a lack of sincerity. Maybe cause I'm Vietnamese? <shrugs>

My mom knows someone who went to one of those Paris by Night compilation concerts. The person reported that it kinda sucked because it was like a TV show taping; if they messed up, they'd stop and do it over again, making the audience suffer, haha. I really appreciate the importance placed on live performance in Japan.

skal: That's really handy to have found it online. May I ask how much they are selling the CD for? An old Vietnamese CD is worth $1 at most, at least if you are considering the market consisting of these small retail stores.

I think it was around $3 :laugh

^lol awesome, good enough. Pity shipping's gonna push it up, though.
