OMG I just love this song. She sings it so well. Thanks for sharing. I have loved this song for as long as I can remember. Never tire of it. I'm 65 now ... LOL
This woman Nishida Hikaru is from Japan and performs professionally, she is married although she looks to be too young for marriage. I think she is in her young 20's. Very clear and smooth voice. She lived in the United States, assuming she was schooled here as well. She commands this song that was written well before she was born. Awesome singing and she is beautiful as well!!
Such a beautiful voice. This the best recording other than by Connie Francis. Nishida Hikaru, born August 16, 1972) is a Japanese pop singer and actress. She was born in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, and made her singing debut with the release of the single Fifteen on 6 April 1988, named after her age at the time. Hikaru is well known for her ability to speak English. She was born in Kanagawa Prefecture but her family quickly moved to the United States, where she attended Clairbourn School in San Gabriel, California near Los Angeles. She lived there for 12 years, and she has some trouble understanding Japanese poetry due to her time away from Japan. She graduated from the American School in Japan in 1990, after which she attended Sophia University where she majored in comparative history of Japan and China. She enjoys writing poetry, basket weaving, learning Spanish and the flute.
Beautiful singer and voice. Thank you. I will watch for more here. I agree with you. It is the best version of this song after Connie Francis. Beautiful voice like Miss Francis.
Giving the comment number 111..this version has number 1s written all over it..giving memories to those who need it when they miss it...fave to fave to fave...

There is several good things about this video, one is they don't have dancers in the video like many others. It's do distracting that it doesn't focus on the singer.
Excellent !!! Wonderful !!! Bravisimo!!! Who is this angel singer that makes me dream?. This girl makes me dream because she is a beauty singing with sentiment.
This woman masters one of Connie Francis' standards, the Movie Where the Boys Are was written for Connie, now this woman does a wonderful Job and she's beautiful on top of it.
@CreekyGuy : Her name is "Hikaru Nishida" in English. She is a rare English spoken Japanese singer. She was an active singer from 1988-2002 and you may definitely find a lots of her CD in the stores. She is really a charming lady with gifted voice by the way.
OMG she's sounds exactly like me...I sang this song and many more oldies like Patsy Cline and Brenda Lee and many more at the RSA CLUBS around the Manawatu.💖she sang that classic song so beautifully💖thankyou for bringing it all back to me xx

Oh God!!! Send me a girl like this, who not only looks like an angel, but also sings like one.

I COULD LISTEN TO HER ALL DAY
Lovely
Oh, FANTASTIC!!!!
She is "Hikaru Nishida" and you can find her name on the credit of "Ai No Sono" performed by Stevie Wonder. She was one of a chorus girl of this song.
@tinagetmetheaxe She was a well-known singer in Japan in late 80's and early 90's and now undoubtedly is retired! I like her English songs very much.
Lovely nishida hikaru...
