Wow, lots of Faye Wong covers. :O I'll add them soon, thank you!

In case anybody else tries to put up any more Faye Wong covers, I think I'm getting them all (the many, many covers o_O), so yeah...hah.

I'm sorry you searched all that!!

(I updated several times before I was completely finished with her, so you probably saw one of those times--my bad! D: ) But hey, your original video is better than the one I found, because it shows her playing the piano and sounds a little better, so I'll update it with yours and credit you for that one, okay? ^_^'

jean-baptiste · #26 31st December 2009, 01:08 AM

^haha, it wasnt too hard. just searched her name on youtube. xD
at least it wasnt completely a waste.

but i just noticed i have some Namie and Kumi covers that aren't up there. I'll search on the web first before i upload.

EDIT: Kumi's "This Is Not A Love Song" Original Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CvZ2...layer_embedded

This isn't the actual video (its just a girl dancing to the song xD) but you can still hear it. Namie's "Try Me" by Lolita: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GckWZ0u-GzM (i have the full song if anyone wants it.)

Crystal_Ageha · #27 31st December 2009, 01:22 AM

Oh my God--This Is Not A Love Song isn't originally Kumi's!? I had no idea... Well, thank you! And yes, please share any covers I missed from the J-Pop Cover and Sample Queens (Kumi and Namie), lol.

RyRyMini · #28 31st December 2009, 02:37 AM

I'm quite surprised by a lot of these =o..

Morning Musume has a bunch, including Pepper Keibu, which was originally done by Pink Lady.

Cover version:

Also, I don't know if this counts but After School's Dream Girl is a sample of Morning Musume's Love Machine.
Original:

After School:

Crystal_Ageha · #29 31st December 2009, 08:55 PM

^ Aa, thank you! Of course the last one counts!

It's actually a cover, even. I'll add yours now.

Jolin Tsai's song Love Love Love(2004) is a cover of Nu Virgos(ВИА Гра) Stop Stop Stop (written in 2002, english version 2003)

Andrenekoi · #31 1st January 2010, 07:58 AM

I cant post videos or music right now, so, i`m just going to list some Hikki samples:

Amai Wana: Paint It, Black sampled Paint it, Black by The Rolling Stones
Never let go sampled Take him back by Monica (that sampled Shape of my heart by Sting :B)
Kiss & Cry sampled Hotel Lobby (both by Hikki)
Merry Christmas mr Lawrence - FYI sampled Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence by Ryiuchi Sakamoto
Automatic part II sampled Automatic (both by hikki)

Crystal_Ageha · #32 1st January 2010, 10:07 PM

Jan, thank you! I don't listen to her, so I would have had no clue about that and the others posted. ^^'

^ Oooh, I heard about the Rolling Stones one (which I believed, even though I'd never heard the original, considering the title, hah), but I didn't know about Never Let Go and Kiss & Cry--I'll have to go back and listen, because I love Hotel Lobby.

And aaaa, how'd I forget about FYI?? >_< I'll put up Saint Vox's sample, too.

U-GO-BOY · #33 2nd January 2010, 01:31 PM

S.H.E.'s "宇宙小姐" is a cover of Jade Valerie's "Crush" and their song "天亮了" is cover of "Like A Bird" by Jade, too..

Crystal_Ageha · #34 2nd January 2010, 05:43 PM

^ Aa, yes, I was waiting for somebody to put up the S.H.E. songs.

(I heard sweetbox's Chyna Girl was originally a demo written for the same band, but I could never get the other songs straight, so thank you. x_X)

EDIT:
Oh, and Andre, I looked it up, and in an interview, Hikaru specified that it was Shape of My Heart that she sampled in Never Let Go. She said they had to get permission from Sting, for that one, and then Mick Jagger for Amai Wana.

And Automatic Pt. II is simply a successor to the original.

EDIT II:
Gawd, now I remember why I didn't put up the millions of Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence samples..... It goes against my own rules! XP My brain takes frequent lunch breaks throughout the day, my bad. >_> So yeah, no MCML, because it was originally an instrumental piece.

EDIT III:
OKAY, last edit, I swear! >_>
There are so freakin' many S.H.E covers/samples, so I'll be doing those later. X_X

Maemi · #35 3rd January 2010, 11:53 PM

Jolin Tsai has maaaany covers.

And isn't Kuu's Physical Thing also the cover?o.O Someone said so.

jean-baptiste · #36 4th January 2010, 02:43 AM

^well, technically it can be thought of as a cover because the original composer (Nosheen), who made the demo, made a music video for her version of the song. so some people argue that she "promoted it" so it's her song.

but in reality Nosheen's was just a demo and Kumi and avex have the rights to the song.

EDIT: here's her facebook page. you could listen to a remix of it. http://www.facebook.com/pages/NOSHEEN/29753817816

she also commented about Kumi releasing the single. "Hey Guys. A little delayed but my song Physical Thing was released in Japan recently by an artist Kumi Koda! It went straight to No.1! No.1 hit songwriter baby! Check it OOUTT!"

so yeah, its Kumi's song.

Maemi · #37 4th January 2010, 11:41 AM

^ i see, thanks for the explanation

Oooh, gosh. Guess I'll have to research Tsai's discography, then. >_<

And yeah, like Jean said, Nosheen's was technically only a demo.

jean-baptiste · #39 5th January 2010, 12:23 AM

@Maemi: no problem. ^_^
