喺4月30號呢日，

本應該係河國榮先生59歲嘅牛一，

一個小小嘅貼文向佢致敬。

On what would have been Mr Gregory Charles Rivers's 59th birthday this April 30th, a little post in tribute to him.

相 ①–②：80年代尾。啱啱嚟到香港冇幾耐，後生嘅河國榮。

Photos ①–②: The late 1980s. A young Rivers, still fairly new to Hong Kong then.

同太太Bonnie。兩人結婚卅幾年，夫妻一向恩愛。因為太太早有心臟病所以兩人早已決定唔要生仔。河太最終病情惡化比先生早先逝去。河國榮 (根據朋友口供) 哀傷過度，到最後決定跟隨太太。太太過咗身兩個月左右，好遺憾，河國榮選擇自盡。

With his wife Bonnie. The two had been lovingly married for over 30 years and decided not to have children because of Bonnie's heart condition. His wife's illness eventually took a turn for the worse. Rivers (according to friends) was overwhelmed with grief and regrettably, decided to join his wife barely two months after her passing.

同佢收養嘅狗仔。河生河太都好鍾意狗。有一陣仲收養咗總共十三隻狗仔添！

With his rescue dogs. Mr Rivers and his wife loved dogs and at one time had as many as 13 rescue dogs under their care!

喺呢部視頻裏面，你可以聽到河國榮翻唱緊由鄭少秋原唱嘅 《笑看風雲》 (首歌係我其中最鍾意嘅一首，仲覺得歌詞好有���義，我曾經翻譯過歌詞嘅意思，請參考一下)。雖然原片係由一個大陸歌唱比賽得到嘅，本片只得聽緊河國榮唱，冇得睇佢表演。但係有繁體字歌詞可以跟埋。

我特登揀咗冇比賽場面嘅視頻上載，因為覺得呢啲歌唱比賽嘅樣式好煩厭；感覺上睇得觀眾同評判嘅面孔多過睇得到台上表演緊嘅參賽者！但係如果想睇原片比賽視頻嘅話，都得！

In this video, you can hear Rivers performing a cover of Adam Cheng's 《笑看風雲》 (this song is one of my favourites, I found the lyrics very meaningful and did a translation before, please do check it out). Although the original video came with footage and is taken from a Mainland Chinese singing competition, this video only has audio, but it has lyrics in Traditional Chinese to follow along with.

I deliberately chose to upload a video without competition footage because I find these singing competition shows' format really annoying; feels like you'll often see more of the audience and judges' faces than the contestant on stage! But if you wish to view the original footage, here it is!

河國榮生前一直有個當粵語歌星嘅夢想。雖然始終冇機會當一個正式嘅歌手，但係多得佢多年嚟一直有好多港星朋友嘅幫助，都得到不少機會上台唱歌，甚至有機會舉辦小型演唱會添！佢小型演唱會賺嚟啲錢通常一部分都會捐到寵物救護中心。

During his lifetime, Rivers's biggest dream was to be a Cantopop star. Although he never did become one, thanks to his celebrity connections, he did get opportunities to sing on stage on several occasions, even managing to organise his own mini concerts with celebrity pals, of which part of his earnings often went to pet rescue shelters.

告五人 Accusefive - 果然你還是 Guo Ran Ni Hai Shi (Fly to the Flame)

Track 5 of Somewhere In Time, I Love You

Title translation: Of course, it's still you

Kill me quickly, the way you're used to 趕快殺了我 用你擅長的方式 Gan kuai sha le wo yong ni shan chang de fang shi

Each kiss cuts a scar on my heart 吻在心上刻下一把痕 Wen zai xin shang ke xia yi ba hen

[Pre-chorus]

I loved you to death and never met someone so spoiled 我赴死的愛上了你 你的腐朽已成奇蹟 Wo fu si de ai shang le ni ni de fu xiu yi cheng qi ji

My devotion was nothing but a slight breeze through the grass 我的絕對不過微風吹撫青草地 Wo de jue dui bu guo wei feng chui fu qing cao di

[Chorus]

I am just a fruit fly that's not afraid of being obliterated 我是一隻不怕灰飛煙滅的果蠅 Wo shi yi zhi bu pa hui fei yan mie de guo ying

Facing your cruel heart is truly just right 面對你的壞不過剛好而已 Mian dui ni de huai bu guo gang hao er yi

And that's beautiful to me, something that other people wouldn’t understand 那對我來說便是美麗 別人無法明白的東西 Na dui wo lai shuo bian shi mei li bie ren wu fa ming bai de dong xi

I can see it, your true heart 我看得見 你的真心 Wo kan de jian ni de zhen xin

Chapter 13, huh.

北の空から Kita no Sora Kara From the Northern Sky

Another track from CMusic! this time for Sailor Moon R! This track is found in Episode 61 of the series Usagi Devastated: Mamoru Declares a Break-Up. None other than the song form the infamous Break Up scene! (infamous if you dont like the arc.)

Personally not my favorite arc for this season but this scene really does hit hard outside of it, and the music they chose fits so well.

[leaderwon]

author nim~ i know you missed me... but i need jake to text this

numbers start with 1 , 2 , 3letters start with a, b, cmusic starts with do, re , mibut can love start with you and me?

is this for the smau? if it is then I can definitely use it during his redemption arc

[don-dake]

Ah! This song! I remember back in the day, when this song was dominating the local airwaves, those around me who knew/know Cantonese and/or Hokkien were ribbing (affectionate) the “LA JA BOR” verses…

Because “LA JA BOR” can either sound like 「垃圾婆」 (laap⁶ saap³ po⁴ — meaning “garbage/rubbish woman”) in Cantonese, or 「65」 (la̍k cha̍p gǒ͘) in Hokkien…🤭

n.b.: To anyone who bothered to read this, as is usual with Albert Leung’s (林夕) lyrics, they are difficult to translate for they are often highly metaphorical, and my grasp of Chinese (namely Mandarin and Cantonese) is also poor, so take this translation attempt with a huge pinch of salt.

Translator's rambles: This is considered a classic in Cantopop and it brings back such childhood memories! (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠) It was also the sub-theme song in the Jackie Chan film 《龍兄虎弟》 (“Amour of God”)？I've watched AoG before but I don't remember this song in it…time to rewatch I guess!

Sjaj Beograda: Tamara Rađenović, svetska muzička senzacija donosi 'Novogodišnju čaroliju' na spektakularnom gala koncertu u Kolarcu

Posle grandioznog koncerta 2022. u prepunoj velikoj dvorani Kolarca, Beograd ponovo dočekuje svetsku muzičku zvezdu iz Londona, soprana Tamaru Rađenović. Mlada diva je ove godine uvrštena na  prestižnu Forbsovu listu 30 najperspektivnijih ličnosti Evrope mlađih od 30 godina u oblasti kulture i umetnosti Forbes i to kao jedinu iz sfere operskog pevanja.

Tamara Rađenović će 27. decembra 2023. od 20 časova zajedno sa renomiranim violinistom Robertom Lakatošem održati gala koncert “Novogodišnja čarolija”.  Na sceni Velike dvorane će uz zvezdu koncerta Tamaru Rađenović nastupiti i internacionalno priznati virtuoz na violini Robert Lakatoš. Pratiće ih preko 80 izvođača, Simfonijski orkestar Belgrade classic, hor Beli anđeo, a to skupa pod dirigentskom palicom proslavljenog maestra Srboljuba Dinića.

Robert Lakatoš će na koncertu svirati violinu Antonija Stradivarija iz 1709. godine, iz privatne kolekcije čuvenog gudalara Vladimira Radosavljevića.

Najavljen je veliki produkcijski iskorak, kako u muzičkom, tako i scenskom nastupu, u svečanom duhu najotmenijih gala koncerata svetskih koncertnih dvorana.

Publika će uživati u brižljivo biranom programu sastavljenom od hitova klasike i filmske muzike. Čuće se nekoliko magičnih obrada našeg poznatog kompozitora Konstantnina Blagojevića. Uz podršku direktno iz Gareth tima premijerno će u Srbji biti izvedena kompozicija Io ti penso amore koju u originalu izvodi David Gareth i Nicole Scherzinger.

Koncerti Tamare Rađenović su prepoznati kao najuzbudljiviji događaji klasične muzike za koje se traži karta više. U prilog tome govori činjenica da je sopranska zvezda opersku umetnost podigla na jedan viši nivo. Pored nesvakidašnjih koncerata, koji su spoj bogatstva njenog vokala i fasinantnog scensko-vizuelnog nastupa, princeza klasične muzike je napravila futuristički iskorak u prezentovanju operske umetnosti i u digitalnom svetu. 

Visokoprodukcijski spotovi operskih numera koje Rađenović prezentuje na svojim muzičkim platformama beleže milionske preglede. Poslednji u nizu, spot za numeru Por una cabeza, je za samo mesec dana emitovanja premašio brojku od fascinantnih  2,3 miliona pregleda što je retkost u branši klasične muzike.

Spot na linku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUsCBA2xXI4

I prethodni spotovi doživeli su ogroman uspeh na Tamarinom YouTube kanalu (oko šest miliona pregleda) i ekskluzivno se emituju u kontinuitetu na britansko-kanadskom Cmusic kanalu. Velika Monserat Kabalje je predvidela planetarnu karijeru Tamare Rađenović, koja je bila njena poslednja učenica, a sopranska zvezda već dostiže zvezdane, lirske visine o kojima je govorila španska diva.

Za beogradski koncert u prodaji je ostao još mali broj karata preko sajta tickets.rs

Edit!

Apparently the arrangement and other classical music in sailor moon came from an audio library https://sailormusic.net/guide-to-sailor-moon-music-cues/

If you scroll down you can find it but it has an audio "watermark" in it letting you know it came from CMusic

This is going to be a dumb request so my apologies if it's too convoluted. On episode 110 of Sailor Moon S there's a melody that plays on the scene when Haruka and Michiru hold hands, I cannot seem to find it on the OST so all I have is literally Haruka and Michiru Hold Hands... hope you're having a nice day!

I know exactly the scene you're talking about. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have an official release. (that I can find)

A midi cover with the filename "Mercury no Toujou" circulated a while in the old days and that seems to be the closest thing to a name it has. But the song itself is just an arrangement of the classical piece "Sarabande" by Handel.

That said there's a beautiful cover of "Mercury no Toujou" by Senchatunes which I totally recommend their channel for top notch Sailor Moon piano covers

Here's hoping the original arrangement that appears in the show can be released at some point

This has been my ear worm for the last couple days so I am sharing.

As you can probably figure out, I am fairly indifferent to kpop/cpop but a group on VK i follow linked it, I listened to it and now hooked. It doesn’t help that while I don’t care for boybands/girlbands/dancing, I adore duets and emo intensity so...

Anyway, this is a first for me - it is literally the first Chinese song that is not part of an OST that I am listening to on repeat. Angsty necromancer really is talented, huh? I did not know his voice was that good!

PS The audience peeps are going nuts heh. (My mother told me that when she was a girl, she went to a Muslim Magomayev concert - he was a very famous Soviet singer - and after the concert, women would literally throw themselves under his car to kiss the tires. That was in the 1960s in the USSR. Kinda crazy that people are same the world and time over. Though this isn’t this level of nuts of course.)

PPS I have no idea who Angela Chang is but her voice omg - I am going to look her up.
