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
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.
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!!

Connie Francis was one of my biggest influences! i sung this song on new faces 1988 and the band played it too darn fast! and my nerves were shattered to say the least.. here it is tho.... singing her huge hit " where the boys are " ps folks i sing this 100 times better now!!.. Where The Boys Are . janey kirk, new faces
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.
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.

I thought no one can do this song so well other than Connie Francis. You did it, Nishida.

Another Connie. Wonderful!!
Such beautiful and soothing voice. A lot of characters.
Great rendition. So is Mary Sarah of The Voice. Although Connie Francis singing for the troops is hard to beat.
i hear this everyday with her she is the greatest
Fabulous and I don't know why she wasn't bigger and/or why she isn't more well-known. Fabulous!
Nostalgia all around...
Wowwwwwwwwwwwww......such a sweet voice!

@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.
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.
