Hi Paulo

Just wonderful to see so many of Hayley's albums in the top 10!.

6 out of the top ten is fantastic - wonder if any artist ever got 10 out of 10? Now wouldn't that be something if Hayley were to do it! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

It's amazing what one performance can do to one's career! Hopefully the effects will be not only short term but also long term.

Hi, Grant.

Hayley could get 10 out of 10 if she ever had released 10 albums.
So far only six albums were released in TW and there is no way for her to get 10 out of 10.
If I were a man working for UMJ, I would air-ship all her CDs including singles to TW. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I found a video of the Moon Represents my Heart, with translation of the lyrics, here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GuW5pa0e44&feature=PlayList&p=973C10FCA176677F&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=71

It doesn't start right at the beginning of the performance, and I think the first part where they sing together is a little different than the rest. The video doesn't start till after the part where the crowd roars for Hayley!

Here are the words after that part:

Shin:
A gentle kiss on me
And my heart's melted for you
So deeply we're in love
I can't cease the hunger for you

Hayley:
You asked me how deeply I love you
How much I'm loving you

Together:
Just give it a thought
And another look
The moon represents my heart.

Maybe the Mandarin-speaking members here can tell us what they say together at the beginning. It definitely sounds different. I listened to it about 3 times before I was sure, though.

Yeah, there is. The U.S.! Just because she has some fans here doesn't mean she's conquered it yet!

Hi All,
I'm a long-term Hayley fan but this is my first post here.
I wanted to have an audio copy of The Moon Represents My Heart to play on a CD, but the sound of the broadcast recording doesn't do her justice. Her voice is overwhelmed by the orchestra and audience, and sometimes Shin is hitting the limiter much too hard.
I spent some time tracking Hayley's notes to enhance them with appropriate filtering and level correction. If anyone wants to hear the result I have uploaded it to
The Moon Represents My Heart - updated.mp3 (3.18 MB)

BTW I found the full lyrics of the song - probably more than was performed in Taiwan.

You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you
My affection is real.
My love is real.
The moon represents my heart.

You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you
My affection does not waver,
My love will not change.
The moon represents my heart.

Just one soft kiss
is enough to move my heart.
A period of time when our affection was deep,
Has made me miss you until now.

Hello Roger and welcome to the forum from central England.

Thank you very much for the audio recording of "The Moon Represents My Heart" I have been in love with this song since I first heard it and it is brilliant to have an MP3 version to play on CD.

I hope you enjoy your time here with us on our forum, we're a very friendly group with a love of all things Hayley. There are great photo's and reviews on the concert threads and details of when and where Hayley will be appearing too. If you need any help finding your way around just ask.

It would be interesting to hear how you discovered Hayley too.

Best wishes
Grant

Thanks very much Roger99 for the mp3. I absolutely love this song and you have made it even better.

Hi everyone,

I've been looking at the original HD streams of this concert and there are a few quite nice screen caps of Hayley to be had, so here are a couple from when she was singing Nada Sousou.

Looking at the photo on the previous page, I'm not sure if the colour balance is exactly right but that's how they came out!

Cheers, Dave

I found a You Tube upload of what looks like a Chinese news segment on Hayley. It's quite impressive and goes for about 6 1/2 minutes and has little clips of Hayley singing and from older interviews. Worth a watch!

This is nothing to do with Hayley so, mods feel free to move it somewhere else if that is appropriate.

The area where this concert took place was hit by the worst typhoon for over half a century last weekend. This was truly terrible, amd my prayers and sympathy goes out to all those who have lost loved ones in this. Here is part of a report from WeatherOnline

The typhoon slammed into Taiwan at the weekend, dumping a record three metres (118 inches) of rain, toppling buildings and submerging whole streets before moving on to mainland China, where it caused further havoc. The latest victims included 10 people whose bodies were uncovered near Chishan river in worst-hit Kaohsiung county, said the National Fire Agency. Taiwan's worst flooding in half a century has left another 57 people missing, in addition to those unaccounted for in the mudslide in the remote village of Hsiaolin, the agency said. The number of dead was expected to rise further after a UH1H helicopter carrying three rescue personnel crashed in heavy fog in southern Pingtung county, officials said. All UHIH choppers were grounded after the accident for safety checks, the agency said, "About 100 people may have been buried alive (in Hsiaolin)," said a statement from the agency, which coordinates search and rescue operations, after the first relief workers arrived in the village by helicopter.



Authorities downplayed reports that up to 600 people were still trapped in Hsiaolin, saying only that around half the village's 200 houses had been swamped by the mudslide. Some 700 people were found safe in Hsiaolin and a number of nearby villages awaiting evacuation, the defence ministry said in a statement late Tuesday. All roads and bridges into the village were cut off by landslides and the only access was by helicopter. "My house is gone. We have been trapped for four days and we are scared," a man from Hsiaolin, in the southern county of Kaohsiung, told reporters after being airlifted to safety. He was one of about 70 people evacuated from the village by helicopter. Another 150 residents had found safe refuge in the village, with some reluctant to leave, the fire agency said.

Hello Martin and everyone

I have been following the terrible storms in South East Asia but had no idea that they had hit the area where Hayley performed for the opening of the world games.

Watching TV reports and seeing tower blocks crumbling into raging torrents of water was devastating to see. Thankfully, I believe the loss of life has not been as great as it could have been in the circumstances. Nevertheless my heart and prayers go out to the people affected.

I wonder if Hayley is aware?
