Hayley and Yukari Miyake will appear on NHK TV on April 8th and will sing "Inori" togeher. You can find some more at below but all are written in Japanese. www.nhk.or.jp/program/utacon/I'm always interested in what she talks as well as the song itself at her TV appearance in Japan. Attached below were picked up from the link above + the translation. 『今あなたに届けたい』のコーナーには海上自衛隊東京音楽隊の三宅由佳莉と、ニュージーランドの歌姫、ヘイリーが登場。デュエットで「祈り~a prayer」を熱唱します。 At the corner "We want to deliver to you now", the singer of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force in Tokyo Yukari Miyake and the diva of New Zealand Hayley will appear and will sing the "Inori ~ a prayer" in duet.   PS: It will be only the SDTV quality but I will be recording the part and would like to share with you ftping to Dave. |

Hi Maya,
Many thanks for the information about Hayley's forthcoming appearance on NHK TV and for offering to record it for us. This looks like being a very interesting duet and I look forward to receiving it!
Cheers, Dave

Hi everyone,
Here are Hayley and Yukari Miyake (a singer of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force in Tokyo) singing "Inori (A Prayer) ( 祈り ) on TV in Japan yesterday, as mentioned above by Maya. Many thanks Maya for providing the video for edit and upload!
I think it's a lovely song and a nice change from Hayley's usual repertoire. This is a guess, and Maya may be able to comment on this, but I wonder if Yukari will be accompanying Hayley in her forthcoming concerts in Japan? Anyway, here it is.
Cheers, Dave

Wow! I was pleasantly amazed! Such a brilliant performance! It was perfect for me, both of them sounded just like the studio version, infact even better. Yukari is the winner for me here, after all it's her song, but Hayley seemed to compliment in the duet very well. I liked Hayley's portions in this better than the album version, clear, crisp tones.
It's very interesting and surprising to note that at 3:04 when Hayley had to sing "Yume" as a response to a few of Yukari's lines, and she sang it in the old classical way! That she has never sung in like forever? I thought that voice was long gone! It seems natural for Hayley that she "had" to sing like that when Yukari is singing it in such a classical manner. It's where the voice is coming from...do you guys get it? And it sounded brilliant, at other places there is enough a pause for Hayley to sing it in the different tone, which makes me wonder if the natural singing tone is the old one, and she's purposely trying to sound different...If Hayley had sung the whole song that way I have no doubts as to who my favourite would have been (as always in any duet)
This is what I was trying to explain all this while and I hope I get the answer I'm looking for soon, the whole performance was brilliant infact hayley's best in recent times according to me, 1:10 is my favourite part. And the piano/cello/harp accompaniment was very fitting I thought, though I'd have been thrilled by a fuller orchestra. But that one word "Yume" made my day.

I think both versions sound good. I will say I think Hayley sounds more nasally in the album version, though. The same can be said with her album recording of BOTW, as compared with her live versions. It's unfortunate that the nasal sound seems to creep in when she does studio recordings these days. I hope she's able to solve that by the time she records her "real" album.

Yes both versions are wonderful, but did you observe my point where her voice switched to the classical tone?
And Yeah I also agree that the live version of BOTW was much better. I guess she shouldn't fix to one tone, in that case I think HSJS I and II was brilliant. Listen to Sen No Kaze (Pure Hayley voice), Jidai (deeper tone), Nemunoki (Old pure voice), Buds (gentle/light tone). So in terms of Versatility, it was stunning. Same could be said for Treasure too. Definitely for the real album I'm hoping for variations in tone for different songs like she always does, classical for classical, pop for pop, folk for folk. Hayley really has the potential to sing anything, I just hope she doesn't standardize her voice for all types of songs.

What a gorgeous performance! Thanks Maya and Dave.
I saw a tweet this morning from Universal Japan that I think is saying that sh will be appearing on the evening news on 10th April. Might even be a new song involved. Here is the Google translation
10 days [Haley] April (Thursday), Haley will live appearance information program of the evening of NHK General "Yuudoki" in (16:55 ~). Appeared in the first half of the program, and then debuted on TV the "impression that song"! Do not miss out

Cheers, Dave Thanks Dave for the nice and quick editing. Regarding the question, you are quite right. The MSDF already announced that Yukari Miyake will be singing together with Hayley accompanied by musicians of the MSDF Tokyo band for those forthcoming concerts scheduled in Tokyo. |

Martin D You are welcome, Martin D. Yes, Hayley will appear on NHK tomorrow at 16:55 again. "ヘイリーは番組前半にて登場、"あの感動曲"をTVで初披露します！お見逃しなく！".
In English, Hayley will be appearing at the first half of the program and will sing "That impressive song" for the first time on TV! Don't miss it!Judging from the last part of the announcement, I bet Hayley will be singing "Hana wa saku" or Flowers will bloom. |
