Sorry for poor picture and the delay of the article
. Actually I missed first 10 minutes of this program and no time to watch the video until Mar. 21, National holiday.
The casts: (from left to right) Mika Nakashima
, Chikuzen Satou
, Tomiko Ban
1Yuki no hana
(snow-bloom)
(all casts) Originally this is a song of Nakashima.
Talk section- " Which do you like better, summer or winter?
" the host asked, and all three of them answered " winter
".
2 Amazing Grace
(Chikuzen) The song used for a jingle of whisky. (See Jan. 18 and 22)
It was my first time to listen to this on TV. Chikuzen's songs have enormous power. But now I don't feel "overpowered" like before- instead I feel being folded with his songs.
3Yoruni kizutsuite
(heartache at night)
A song from her latest cover album.
4Sunaonamama
(innocent, as we are)
(Nakashima) It's used for a jingle, she said.
5Hajimariwa itsumo ame
(love always grows in the rain)
The original is ASKA
. Chikuzen and Ban covered this song in their albums, and Nakashima likes this song, too.
-What are the best English names for the songs with Japanese titles? (Translation: Unable-to-think-up-HN)
