タヤUDD Cover · Single

Taya

A heartbreak anthem reimagined. Al Jang takes the emotional weight of the iconic UDD hit and tries to transform it into a raw Japanese–Filipino fusion, where Tagalog confessions collide with sharp Japanese lines, distorted memories, and late-night overthinking. The switch between languages doesn't just sound fresh — it intensifies the emotion, capturing the chaos of loving someone you can't truly have.

“I’ve been a huge UDD fan for the longest time. Armi Millare’s songwriting and vocals are truly unmatched. Years ago, I made a simple cover of Taya plucking a violin and tapping a yellow mug with a pencil for percussion. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to create a proper full-version cover of this song from their 2008 album, Bipolar. Now that I’m learning Japanese, it felt natural to weave Japanese lyrics into certain parts of the song. I also added shamisen and taiko tracks to bring in traditional Japanese textures and give the arrangement a fresh Japanese–Filipino fusion feel. We had so much fun producing this version. Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!”

LyricsTL / JP

Kagabi Di matapos-tapos ang Nobelang binubuo Sa mumunting isipan ko Kakitiran Namimilit pang mangatuwiran Iniipon ang mga pagkakataon Sa isang sulok at pinagdurugtong-dugtong くっ付いてる続いてる引っ張ってる取り替える Huli na ang lahat Para bawiin ang hindi nararapat Ano ba? Umayos ka Wala nang magagawa Sa nahulog naだって俺たちさ、だって俺たちさ行った来た俺たち、行ったり来たり傷つく何で俺だけここに残ってる？ Kasalanan mo ang lahat nang 'to Bakit ako'ng pinagbabayad mo? 全部お前のせいだ！ Nagtataka ako Bakit siya pinili mo? Ooh-whoa

心はもうないOriginal · Single

Kokoro wa mou naimy heart is no longer mine

A new chapter begins. Kokoro wa Mou Nai (My Heart is No Longer Mine) marks Al Jang's first original Japanese song — a melancholic pop rock track infused with blues influences and raw emotion. With its blend of Japanese lyrics and Filipino sensitivity, it opens a bold new direction for Al Jang's music.

“I was browsing through my drive recently and rediscovered a studio recording session of “Puso Ko'y Di Na Akin” from eight years ago. I still vividly remember how Ace completely blew us away with his spontaneous, bluesy trumpet lines during that session. That trumpet track inspired me to finally produce a proper studio version of the song — this time in Japanese. With the help of Fuminori Kimura and Andre Salib in translating the lyrics, I'm excited to share that this will be my very first Japanese song. Looking forward to sharing it with you soon!”

LyricsJP

心はもうない痛みは感じない言葉はもうないもう求めない星も雲もあなたさえいるなら棘も傷も抱くのだって心はもうないあなたも同じかい？心を捧げた痛みは感じない想いはもうないもう求めない星も雲もあなたさえいるなら棘も傷も抱くのだって心はもうないあなたも同じかい？空に願う今でもそばに君がいれば叫んでいるよなぜか聞こえない君よ心を捧げたでもあなたは… 心はもうないあなたも同じかい？
