Hey folks,

 

I've got these melody fragments stuck in my head from when I was a kid (early 2000s or earlier?), but my memory is fuzzy and I could only salvage part of these songs in terms of partial lyrics or tune sequences or both. I recreated what I could recall using Online Sequencer. If you can help, I would much appreciate it. I can also assist with what I can recall in terms of language and partial lyrics. If you need reference to the era, refer to the songs Too Softhearted by Ritchie Jen and Our Intimate Relationship by Sammi Cheng. My song list doesn't go any further than the end of 2005. And an extra note of precaution: sometimes these songs use words in at least two different languages. E.G, PreCure the anime sometimes uses Spanish words like "Seniorita" and DECO*27's Telepathy uses "まじでSTOP 脈ナシハラスメント" = "Seriously, STOP. No chance HARSSMENT."

I can't identify any of those songs but wow, an amazing site that is. 

If we're putting our brains together there's a song I've been looking for forever. It was popular in 2003-2004 and is a stirring song, a march almost.  I remember a long taxi ride when me and the driver were both rocking out to it.  Which is strange because state-approved Mandarin music at the time always sucked.  I've asked Grok for help and spent time clicking on various youtube links and come up dry. I'd sing the melody into that site but can't remmeber any of it. It was of the same vintage as "you are my superstar" by S.H.E.

Major update in regards to Song 3: The vocalist could be either a male or a dark-sounding female.

 

You know Roz from Monsters Inc? Although it sounds female, she's actually voiced by a MALE! And in many animes and some west cartoons, the males are voiced by a female. That's what I'm referring to.

 

So make sure you stay extra vigilant when seeking Song 3.

 

Also,Song 4 (SOLVED): Canto or mando? https://onlinesequencer.net/5212111
BPMs: N/A
Vocalist(s) gender: male

Additional notes: most likely a hip-hop themed song. I'm no music expert, but this is my best guess on the song's genre. 


Song: 舊約 Artist: Leon Lai

 

I knew I recognized that voice of his! That's 4 songs in the bag!
