Bugmaster *Jo Odagiri & Makiko Esumi EN Sub

Some time between the Meiji and Taisho period… A mother and son walk through heavy rain. The son, YOKI, sees strange, iridescent creatures float from the mountainside and then disappear. He does not yet know such creatures are called “Mushi” and can not be seen by ordinary men. Suddenly, there is a landslide and Yoki’s mother is swallowed by the flood. A Mushishi woman named NUI finds the child, who miraculously survived, and takes him home with her. Some years later, we meet Yoki again as an adult. Having lost his memory in an incident he can not recall, he is now called “GINKO.” He is a “Mushishi,” one who studies the Mushi he could see as a child and protects ordinary men from the illnesses that they inflict. He travels alone through the thick mountain snow, looking for a night’s lodging. We see that his hair is white like the snow and one of his eyes is now missing. Ginko makes his way to a house where a young woman named TANYU has fallen ill. Born to a family with a strong connection to Mushi, Tanyu records the ancient stories of the Mushi onto scrolls. She fell ill after she heard a tale from a blind Mushishi woman. The woman told her about how she had fought off a powerful Mushi called “Tokoyami,” which lived at the bottom of a pond, and about an eyeless fish which lived at the bottom of the Tokoyami called “Ginko.” Her extended exposure to the pond turned her hair white and took her eyes.

International singing sensation Charice was chosen to sing "Far as the Sky," the official theme song of the Japanese mystery/crime drama titled Bull Doctor. See more for Charice's MP3 songs:

Today, July 6, Warner Music Japan released the music video of the song through its Youtube channel.

In the music video, Charice wears a fedora hat as she sings the song with lyrics that go: "Our destiny is such a fantasy / I share my love / To help you through the night/ Far as the sky / My heart will reach out to the one who cries / I will never leave you far behind"

Bull Doctor is topbilled by Japanese actresses Esumi Makiko and Ishihara Satomi who portray a forensic scientist and a police detective, respectively.

In the website charicemania.com, Harry Yasu Clark translated an interview with Bull Doctor producer Kayuza Toda wherein he explained why he personally chose Charice to perform the theme song of the show.

In Warner Japan's official website, Toda was quoted as saying: "It was shocking when I first heard Charice's songs. I was so fascinated by her voice which is so stretching and powerful, and the experience got me reaching out to her and asking for a song. I have this strong confidence and conviction in my heart that the message of humanism this drama will give, and the emotions that Charice will bring to this drama, will make a fantastic collaboration."

For her part, Charice was also quoted by Warner as saying: "This song has full of inspiration...it has a clear message that even when you tend to get down by encountering obstacles, difficulties in life, there IS always hope."

The 19-year-old Filipina singer also dedicated the song to the Japanese people who were affected by the disastrous tidal wave last March 11.

She expressed her sympathy by saying, "Please remember to feel that this is not the end of the world, there is still hope, and there will come a 'tomorrow.' You all can overcome this, and win this. And please remember we each have given all of our support for you."

Aside from Bull Doctor, Charice's latest single, "Louder", was also used as the theme song of the Japanese morning show Mezamashi TV.

MP3 **Song samples** I have listed two of her older songs that you will enjoy...

Charice- I Love You
Charice- Always You
