thanks to pommy408

sounds sooooo good

i think she changed the lyrics....cant really understand her mandarin

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

the complete version is soo beautiful!!

omgg

[se7entheaven]

I think she sounds liek mumbling and its not so clear...but we can listen to her effort ^^ and English version will be nicer IMO...for some people pronouncing Chinese may be a bit difficult

[jiarongisme]

Mmmm the pronunciation sounds so funny. I can't make out what she's saying even though I speak Chinese. XD Great effort, though. I like her voice there. :3

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

I understand why it's about one-two keys lower. Ahaha. It took me a while, but she sounds a LOT deeper in Chinese.

A great version.

[hiro_hikaru1987]

touched.. speechless... totally overwhelming...
nonetheless.. she SANG in chinese.... she must hv took numerous nights and numerous times to record this version... i dunno wat to say...

[wenren93]

yeah. though ayu is not born chinese, but i guess her pronunciation is quite good already ( can u imagine she spend how much time just to sing a diff version for one song??? O___o ) but hor, i dun really can get what she sing in the chinese version -.- does anyone of u got the chinese version lyrics please?
hmm, i still prefer the original version

[pommy48]

lol here, and i added the chinese text~ so it's not just a pic

[Aga-chan]

She sounds great, in my opinion! ^^ I don't know Chinese, so I can't say anything about pronounciation, but she sounds good to me.
I might like this version more than the Japanese AC version.

By the way, about the Chinese lyrics: Are they (almost) a one to one translation or different lyrics overall?

[wenren93]

^ thanks pommy ! D

[prussian blue]

her chinese isnt that good, but i know she had already took alot of effort to do it, this is a very good for a newbie, and i hope she will do it better in the concert! and i think i have the right to comment it since i'm a chinese speaker too

[pommy48]

i think it is rather good for a newbie like sebby said~ i wouldn't expect her to be fluent in it, as long as i can understand just a little bit, then i'm good
but many parts, i was confused as to if ayu was singing in chinese or japanese @_@
some one on another forum if they didn't look at the lyrics, they would think korea

LOL.
Do you speak Chinese?
She doesn't sound very fluent.

If she was fluent, it sounds as if she has not spoke in twenty years and then tried to. Her voice is wonderful, but her enunciation was horrible.

[roanmy]

I like it! ^_~

Not because her Chinese is amazing or anything... I don't speak it, so I can't tell, but just the fact that she did this is so cool! Wish she'd do an English version too, though... Or Norwegian! XD

[Lanz16]

I've noticed the differences in the pitch they used on the Chinese version of Who... to the Japanese version.

The Chinese vocals are okay but not powerful as the Japanese version.
I think it lacks on emotion and strength.

But her Chinese is a wow!
I didn't know that she was fluent and very clear to that language.

And I want to hear her English version of Who... .


OVERALL: I give it a 4 stars to the Chinese version of Who... .

[freedreamer]

As a chinese, i feel very proud of her...of coz..u may not what she is singing because of some..accent

but if u just read the lyrics and listen..i think u can tell she really tried...
and she can do better next time!! hahaha

i lvoe it...despite a lower key, i think she sounds so gddddd

(she hsa to pronounce her "Sh" instead of "S"...Like SHUO and not SUO...haha)

I just reached the chorus!! and ITS ALMOST PERFECT OMG...very impressed...

I think she sang this using Hanyu pinyin right?...coz for "Di"..(prnounced as "De"...she sang it using the *** pronunciation of "de" lol...cute)

[micster]

Meeh. Dont really think a lot of it, But then again I dont particually think much of Who.

And the supposed 320 version I got was definitely not a CD rip cos it was sludgy and muffled. And tbh I dont feel motivated to find a proper version cos it isnt that amazing to me.
