HOCC Denise Ho “Growing Old For You” MV

She is a singer and actress from Hong Kong.

At the 2006 Festival Music Awards ceremony, she won the Gold Award for Golden Music Female Singer.

In 2010, with Anonymous Poem, she was selected among the top five female singers at the 22nd Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan, making her one of the few female singers in Hong Kong to achieve this.

Thank you for having been here.Ayo97 & A Han

Thank you for having been here.

A fantasy-tinged track released in February 2019.

While it falls into the heartbreak-song category, it isn’t straightforward—its lyrics are abstract, full of phrasing that’s a bit removed from reality.

You can kind of sense that from the cover art, right? Is the original motif Assassin’s Creed, perhaps? It’s a ballad leaning toward rap, and I think that makes it approachable for Japanese listeners.

Han Hong – Heavenly Road 'That Is a Magical Heavenly Road' [Dynamic Lyrics]

Han Hong, celebrated for her beautiful high voice and songs distinguished by influences from Tibetan music, is regarded as one of the finest singers in mainland China.

This piece, inspired by the Qinghai–Tibet Railway in her homeland of Tibet and by the joyful faces of the Tibetan people, conjures up images of Tibet’s mountains and blue skies the moment you listen.

alan The Theme Song of Red Cliff Part 2 Akatsuki Wall ~ The Great River Flows East ~

In Japan, alan is known for singing the theme song of the live-action film BALLAD: A Na mo Naki Koi no Uta, which was based on the anime film Crayon Shin-chan: Arashi o Yobu Appare! Sengoku Daikassen.

This is the theme song for the movie Red Cliff, which is based on the Battle of Red Cliffs from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

With a voice that borders on divine, she conveys a magnificent sense of scale.

I once didGe Bi Lao Fan

Ge Bi Lao Fan – I Once: “I once shattered a perfect mirror, and my pillow was full of tears at night.” [Dynamic Lyrics]

A slow ballad that starts with a piano-only intro, then brings in a soulful, weeping guitar at the break.

It’s a classic approach, but it’s the perfect sound for a ballad! The interplay with the strings is also pleasing.

Ge Bi Lao Fan was born on November 2, 1998, in Chengde, Hebei Province.

In 2017, his cover of “Girl” drew attention and led to his major debut.
