Celine Dion to sing theme song in Japanese for Japanese film

MONTREAL —

Canadian singer Celine Dion, 40, told Japanese media in Montreal this week that she will sing the theme song in Japanese for the Japanese film “Maboroshi no Yamataikoku,” which will be released on Nov 1.

Dion will sing “A World To Believe In – Himiko Fantasia” in Japanese. The song was originally composed and released in February in collaboration with Japanese singer Yuna Ito, 24, as a duet song. The melody was re-composed and Japanese lyrics were added for the film, which stars Sayuri Yoshinaga.

Dion said, “It’s an honor for me to sing a song for a Japanese film, starring one of Japan’s most famous actresses. It’s also an honor that I was chosen to represent Himiko which is culturally symbolic for Japan.”

Excellent. Great publicity for her, and she didn't even have to punch any papparazzi.

Of course there is. Just don't listen to it, turn it off, plug your ears and finally don't even mention it - that includes HERE.

She could do an opera about plastic surgery.

I predict earthquakes, tsunamis and early snow on Mt.Fuji.

This woman is one of the masters of fake emotion. Actually, she should do well in Japan.

Its always Celine Dion who gets the big breaks. Im sure her Japanese fans will be happy. But arent we forgetting Michael Boltons legion of Japanese fans. What`s being done for them?

I have never know Celine Dion to express an interest in Japanese anime. I am also a Canadian who only likes one of Ms Dion's songs that was a remix. Gabriela Robin ought to have a go or Origa or a new talent.
