Pat, I got your tagged message. The Burning Blood (熱血歌),in fact was published in 1937 - the inception of World War II in the Far Eastern Asia, triggered by Japan in the Northeast part of China/Manchuria. The song writer was Mr. 黄自(a great composer) and lyrics by Mr. 吴崇海. The song was influential during China's (either the Nationalists or/and the Communists ?!) fighting against Japan's invasion right before World War II.

I was born and grew up in Taiwan and speak Taiwanese - like my ancestors several generations before me. Mandarin has been mandatory beginning in elementary schools, since the Nationalist government retreated to Taiwan after Communist China won the civil war in 1949. Though the older generation(s) in Taiwan did/do speak Japanese (occupied by Japan during 1895-1945).

Pat Jack Hey, where can I find the pinyin please, so I can learn the song and sing along?

Pat Jack And when you add effects, only a teeny,tiny bit of the effect is needed, like reverb, just a tiny bit. You have a very nice voice, you are a good singer, and your sense of pitch is very good, so please, let us hear your voice, there is no need for lots of reverb, or delay,or echo. Thanks.

Crystal Huang Again, nothing to do with any type of political ideology, Nationalism or Neo-Nationalism/Jingoism.Just the song per se is quite energizing !

Pat Jack: Good, I copied and pasted into notepad what you have here. Would it be possible to get a .mp3 file from you of your performance of this song, with no effects, completely dry. I can then analyze the song for tone marks, add them, and then send that back...See More

Nov. 15 (F), 2013 Mission Possible- The Dark Knights Fight Sung by Crystal Li-chin Huang


夜襲 - Dark Knights Fight: Mission Possible, sung by Li-chin (Crystal) Huang 黃昶
Uploaded on May 15 (W), 2013 Singing#6
The Art of War- winning in the battle field without dripping a drop of blood.
- 善戰者服上刑:兵不血刃 (- Sun Tsu, 孫子). 夜襲 is one of my favorite military songs, even though I am a peace-warrior!

夜襲

作詞:黃瑩 作曲:李健

夜色茫茫 星夜無光
只有砲聲 四野迴盪
只有火光 到處飛揚

腳尖著地 手握刀槍
英勇的弟兄們 挺進在漆黑的原野上

我們眼觀四面 我們耳聽八方

無聲無息 無聲無息
鑽向敵人的心臟 鑽向敵人的心臟

只等那信號一亮
只等那信號一響

我們就展開閃電攻擊
打一場轟轟烈烈的勝仗

Nov 15 (F), 2013 Though I am not a Japanophile, my Very First Song Posted on Youtube on May 8th, 2013 Was a Japanese Oldie- 南國土佐を後にして: Nostalgia from To Sa.



Published on May 8, 2013
Though I am not a Japanophile,
南國土佐を後にして is one of my favorite Japanese songs.
This was my first upload to youtube after a preliminary (untrimmed) version posted a day ago.
An fb friend kindly pointed out a "digital lagging effect'.
So I cut off the dragging part and added in some flowers to shape this one.

No any political implication is intended.
南国土佐を後にして 都に来てから 幾歳(いくとせ)ぞ
思い出します 故郷(こきょう)の友が
門出(かどで)に歌った よさこい節を
土佐の高知の 播磨屋橋で
坊さんかんざし 買うをみた

ペギー葉山 南国土佐を後にして Lyrics 月の浜辺で 焚火(たきび)を囲み しばしの娯楽の 
一時を わたしも自慢の 声張り上げて 歌うよ土佐の よさこい節を みませ見せましょ 浦戸をあけて 月の名所は 桂浜 国の父さん 室戸の沖で 鯨釣ったと 言う便り わたしも負けずに 励んだ後で 歌うよ土佐の よさこい節を 言うたちいかんちゃ おらんくの池にゃ 潮吹く魚が 泳ぎよる よさこい よさこい Jet Lyrics

Nov 15 (F), 2013 The Poetic Love in Turbulence (上海灘) Sung in Cantonese



作詞:黃霑
作曲:顧嘉煇
編曲:丁志光

浪奔 浪流 萬里滔滔江水永不休
淘盡了 世間事 混作滔滔一片潮流
是喜 是愁 浪裡分不清歡笑悲憂
成功 失敗 浪裡看不出有未有

愛你恨你 問君知否 似大江一發不收
轉千灣 轉千灘 亦未平復此中爭鬥
又有喜 又有愁 浪裡(就算)分不清歡笑悲憂
仍願翻 百千浪 在我心中起伏夠
(仍願翻 百千浪 在我心中起伏夠)

Nov. 15 (F), 2013 Intriguing Wars and Costly Peace (滿江紅)



Published on Jun 6, 2013
滿江紅 Intriguing War and Costly Peace sung by Li-chin (Crystal) Huang (黃昶) #15

A Tragic Epic of a Loyal Intellectual-Warrior General Yue Fei 岳飛 (March 24, 1103 -- January 27, 1142) who was trapped and betrayed by a small group of powerful corrupt officials who lied to the wimpy Emperor by demanding him to retreat via 12 calling-backs while he was intensively engaging in the battlefields fighting against the ruthless intruders from the north. He was tragically executed.

The lyrics was one of his most famous poems and his precious calligraphy is on the cover page of this video- 還我河山: "Get My Country Back"!

No any political implication is intended.

滿江紅 岳飛

怒髮衝冠,憑闌處,瀟瀟雨歇。
抬望眼,仰天長嘯,壯懷激烈。
三十功名塵與土,八千里路雲和月。
莫等閒,白了少年頭,空悲切。
靖康恥,猶未雪;
臣子恨,何時滅。
駕長車踏破賀蘭山缺。
壯志饑餐胡虜肉,笑談渴飲匈奴血。
待從頭,收拾舊山河,朝天闕。

Nov. 15 (F), 2013. The National Dignity, or Blood! #20



Nothing to do with the Nationalism - but an International Unjust Intrigue!

熱血歌
詞:鮑狄埃 曲:狄蓋特

熱血滔滔, 熱血滔滔,
像江裡的浪, 像海裡的濤,
常在我心頭翻攪。

只因為恥辱未雪, 憤恨難消。
兩千萬同胞啊 ! 灑著我們的熱血,
去除強暴 !

熱血熔溶, 熱血熔溶,
像火焰般烈, 像旭日般紅,
常在我心中洶湧。

快起來為己除害, 為國盡忠。
兩千萬同胞啊 ! 拼著我們的熱血,
去爭光榮 !

Crystal Huang ...associating with a film, 悲情城市 - The City of Sadness. A tragedy with a hegemonic triangular complexity exacerbated by Japan's Imperialism and Colonialism (from 1895 to 1945 on Taiwan) and triggered by China's Civil War (between Mao's Communism and Chiang's "Nationalists???") during and after World War II, imposed socio-economic chaos and cultural-ethnic identity confusion/ crisis onto Taiwanese people till today. The pop-culture (such as a Japanese song with lyrics revised by a Taiwanese writer/poet- posted above) carried on such a hybridus remnant lingering in Taiwan during 50s, 60s and early 70s.

The following video clip is from Judith Lai - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b0v3JsYXDg#t=12
