Again, thanks Music Station for intro me this new artists. Selected as one of the MSute’s Young Guns, Stephanie (ステファニー) was debuted in May 28, 2007 with the debut maxi “Kimi ga Iru Kagiri”, while this song was an ending theme of an anime “Kiss Dum“. What makes her so unique that she actually can sing in 5 octaves! SUGOI!
5 octaves singing ability
In Stephanie’s official website, they call her “The one and only super high tone voice in the world diva” (世界にたった１つの歌声スーパークリアハイトーンボイスの歌姫). From the interview in Music Station, she said that in the beginning, she was not satisfy about her voice so she decided to go for voice practices and now, she can sing in 5 octaves. Her voice and go sky up high! Really!
Because this is her selling point, so she had to present it in her debut song. So in the beginning of the song featuring her super high tone voice, well it actually captures my attention. And the song also has a lot of high notes which is a piece of cake for her. I can feel this is a song of courage, it tells you to never give up and always challenge your limit. Although the song is amazing, but still some part I felt is overpowered by her ability because somehow the song is a bit less emotional. Maybe due to her young age (only 19!), she have to learn to use her ability at its best.
So, this is the new artist that you should watch! She will be releasing new single in following month, so stay tuned! Below are the song sample and lyric. Please enjoy.

他の人と 何がちがうのかな
近づきたくて 居場所がほしくて
ほんとの自分を失くしてた君だけは わかってくれた
ガラスの壁 破ってくれたんだ
うつむく夜明け 君を想ってる
こんなに離れていても輝け 溢れ出す涙も
朝陽の中で強さに変わるよ
心に今 君がいる限り
Believe myself あきらめないLook into the sky, so spacious and so high
あの向こうに何があるのかな
少しずつでも描いてきた夢
いつか君にも見せたい飛べるよ 翼などなくても
誰にも似てない未来探そう
記憶の中 君がいる限り
I’ll go my way 振り向かない痛みも傷も誇れるような
自分になりたい
広がる空は君に
続いているから輝け 溢れ出す涙も
朝陽の中で強さに変わるよ
心に今 君がいる限り
Believe myself あきらめない飛べるよ 翼などなくても
誰にも似てない未来探そう
Deep in my heart 今君がいる限り
I’ll go my way 振り向かない
