Check out this lovely demo for Leehom’s new Olympic-inspired song, One World One Dream:
When Leehom really puts his heart into a song, out comes a masterpiece, and I think this is one. It’s quite reminiscent of his past works and collaborations such as Hand in Hand, which is also a wonderful song. Don’t mistake it for the song Han Geng and Zhang Li Yin performed together. No. Leehom and David Tao collabed during the SARs epidemic to write a song that brings people together. So I see quite a similarity in concept to this new song. He wants to unite the world in song as the Olympics unites the world in sport. It’s a really pretty song. I hope you guys enjoy it.
What I really love about this song is that the melody isn’t hard to remember. Some songs are hard to pick up on. I listened to this once and I could sing along right after that. I think that’s really important for a song like this.
Now my Chinese isn’t perfect, as you guys know. So I’m also really glad that he used some English. That way, I knew his concept. I think his voice is really sexy in English, too.

Based on a manga by Tada Kaoru, Itazura na Kiss tells the story about a blooming romance between a sweet, oblivious high school girl and a handsome, popular genius. The story moves through their high school days, college, and marriage, and how their relationship strengthens as the years progress. The manga was never completed due to the sudden death of Tada-san. Since then, her manga has been developed into two dramas and, finally, one anime.
