1. Angela Aki出道5週年的第四張Full Album! 今天竟然給我用相對超平的價買到隻二手,勁好彩,因為隻碟只是在日本出了十日左右,而我買的是日版,更是初回版,一手要三百幾蚊!

2. 其實這CD在日本的銷路比之前的差了很多,其實之前那隻已不算很好賣,好彩有首"手紙 ~拝啓 十五の君へ~"(信~給十五歲的你~")頂住,因為此歌在日本學校非常受歡迎,只可惜此Single銷路雖算不錯,但卻不是大賣,我也不太明,廣泛受歡迎,但相對買single的人少,只有十幾萬銷量!一切只好推說因為日本唱片業不景氣,大賣的只有成名已久的歌手,唱片有一定銷量保證,還有就是偶像派,學生哥們肯花錢買碟!你看"嵐"及"AKB48"一出新single,首週銷量就過50萬張就知驚人("AKB48"其實是最近才刻意去認識她們,因為她們實在太紅,我不可不理,再不去認識她們,我的江湖地位也將不保,甚至我想過把她們的現象寫一篇隨想),不過好奇怪,第二個星期通常跌至得幾萬張銷量,好明顯所有人也是一出就買!
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mph1oYYJz4c: 這是我最喜愛的版本,當然其中原因是那個脫下眼鏡哭著臉的可愛女生啦!)

3. 又講遠咗,講翻Angela Aki,今天買完就即時聽,今次最特別的地方是有成一半歌是唱英文的,雖知她是半個鬼妹,而且去了外地錄音,更與外國音樂人合作,"Bop Bop Bop(Colors Of Your Soul)"更是與Janis Ian合寫的!

4. 聽了一遍,最搶耳是"Unbreakable", 其次是"The Truth Is Like A Lie",都是英文歌(都不是細碟歌),大概是因為我聽得懂歌詞吧,寫得很好呢!

5. Highly Recommended: Unbreakable (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxR8xWP4C_Y)

Lying in bed, no dreams in my head
Shadows are closing in
Feeling afraid I'm losing my way
I won't feel the sun again

A prisoner alone in my room
So tired of begging the moon

Just another hopeless night
Nobody's missing me
Just another desperate cry
Nobody's listening
Outside my window, one wishing star
Make me one unbreakable heart
Just one unbreakable heart

Tell me I will make it through
'Cause I know until I do

It's just another hopeless night
Nobody's missing me
Just another desperate cry
Nobody's listening
Outside my window, one wishing star
Make me one unbreakable heart

Make me unbreakable

Just another hopeless night
Nobody's missing me
Just another desperate cry
Is anybody listening?
Outside my window, one wishing star
Make me unbreakable

Just another hopeless night
Nobody's missing me
Just another desperate cry
Nobody's listening
Outside my window, one wishing star
Make me one unbreakable heart
Just one unbreakable heart

Make me one unbreakable heart
Just one unbreakable heart

The Truth Is Like A Lie (sorry, no one upload the song on youtube)

作詞: Angela Aki
作曲: Angela Aki

I still make the coffee for two
At the table, I still set a place for you
Just in case you come home, I always keep
the light on even while I sleep

Every time the telephone rings
I think it's you and suddenly my heart starts to sing
But your sweet voice is only a memory
Fragments of a fading melody

How am I supposed to carry on
When the road in front of me is gone
How can I believe this really is goodbye
How, when the truth is like a lie

Constantly living yesterday
That is why I am slowly dying here today
Holding onto time framed in photographs
Frozen moments caught between the glass

How am I supposed to carry on
When the road in front of me is gone
How can I believe this really is goodbye
How, when the truth is like a lie

Tell me, how am I supposed to carry on
When the road in front of me is gone
How can I believe this really is goodbye
How, when the truth is just like a lie

Tell me, how am I supposed to carry on
When the road in front of me is gone
How can I believe this really is goodbye
How, how, how, when the truth is like a lie

  1. you bet,i've got a cd by aki, isn't it called 'Today'? Why? i knew nothing about her when i bought the disc. i just like her looks on the cover, sitting by the piano, spectacled and beautifully clad in jeans and a cream color lace top (love the top a lot). she looked subtly sexy and intellectual.
    For cover only, this new one is less appealing, wor.

  2. Today是Angela Aki的第二張full album! 其實我之前也曾在fb提過,她每一張大碟及細碟都是同一個look(jean+lace top),差不多的post, 拍照的距離也一樣,單看封面是分不到是那首歌的!不過,近年來卻改變了風格,多了變化,其實我覺得一直keep下去反而仲型,不知是她自己想改變還是唱片公司想她改變呢?!
