《Monica》张国荣

[Koneko]

Chinese cover version 《Monica》 张国荣

Original Japanese version 『モニカ』* 吉川晃司

Which do you prefer?

I kinda like the original version.

DJ. K.

NB: * Monika

The title is in quotes, isn't it? It looks OK to me.

What's the difference? Chinese can't read katakana, so it's written in Chinese characters or in Roman.

[Koneko]

Thanks! Roomaji now included.

DJ. K.

[atitarev]

You mean Rōmaji, don't you (no "n") - ローマ字, 罗马字, 羅馬字 (Luómǎzì). You're welcome but you probably want to check with natives.

"Monica" in Chinese can be written as 莫尼卡 [Mòníkǎ]

[skylee]

The name of the Chinese cover version is "Monica".

[Koneko]

atitarev,

Amended as requested.

It should be "Roomaji" or "Ro-maji" instead of "Romaji".

DJ. K.

[atitarev]

Better still, Rōmaji

I didn't know it was in Cantonese, my above suggestion was for Mandarin. Not a bad song, thanks

[Koneko]

There you go...

Chinese doesn't mean Mandarin only. It's unfair to other dialects because they are all part of Chinese language too.

DJ. K.

[atitarev]

I meant my comment with pinyin transcription and the choice of characters to transcribe "Monica", of course, which is Mandarin but may be done differently in Cantonese. How was I unfair to other dialects?

[Koneko]

Well, I didn't mean you said it.

That's just a general implication.

DJ. K.
