At the age of 18, Dizon relocated to Los Angeles, where she attended college for one year as a film major. While in college, she began modelling for various import car magazines. As her photos began to be posted up online, she received 2,000,000 hits from search engines in just a year. Following the advice of Japanese fans, Dizon sent a demo tape to a Japanese talent agency. In March 2006, she signed a contract and immediately moved to Tokyo. In October 2006, she released her first photobook titled Petite Amie (Girlfriend in French), which was ranked as the third best selling photobook of that year.
Dizon made her debut as a singer under the record label Victor Entertainment and on February 14, 2007, she released her first CD single and DVD package, Softly (VIZL-216), which peaked at number #7 in the Oricon Weekly Chart. At the same time, she also released her second photobook titled Hello! Leah. She was also cast in several television commercials and minor movies.
Her debut album, 'Destiny Line', reached #8 on the Oricon weekly charts, and the the first press included a Yasutaka Nakata remix of '恋しよう♪'.
Her second album, Communication!!!, was released on August 20, 2008, and reached #18 on the Oricon weekly charts. While on her "Communication!!!" tour in October 2008, Leah announced that she was four months pregnant and recently married the father of her child, a Japanese stylist. Their daughter, Mila (Mira) was born on April 24, 2009. Following her divorce from the stylist in October 2010, Dizon settled back to New York City in December 2010. While she enrolled at an acting college, she stated that she would return to Japan if she could find work.

Leah Dizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
懐かしい、あなたのぬくもり 遠く。
恋しくて、苦しくて 胸が 切なく泣いてる。
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
差し延べる手さえも 疎ましく思う。
あの頃の私は 不器用 だったね。
過ぎ去った日々をもう一度。
さよならさえも 言わずに消えた日の。
降り止まぬ 雨の中で
帰りを待ち続けたの。
(*) 懐かしい、あなたのぬくもり 遠く。
恋しくて、苦しくて 胸が 切なく泣いてる。
いつだって 側にいて欲しい ずっと。
会いたくて、会えなくて、愛しくて...
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
振り返る事なら いつだって出来る。
戻れない時間を埋めて 過去の分まで。
素直になれず 逃げて来た 自分が
嫌いで 涙溢れた。
本当は あなたの愛を。
懐かしい、あなたのぬくもり 遠く。
恋しくて、苦しくて 胸が 切なく泣いてる。
もういいの！ やり直せるから きっと。
失った 愛の欠片 合わせて。
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
(*) 懐かしい、あなたのぬくもり 遠く...
You taught me to be strong, you taught me to hold on。
When everyone around me said「It can't be done」。
And if you can't be strong and if you can't hold on。
Just remember the words you once gave to me。
聞き慣れた 口癖、
いつもの その仕草なんでだろ?
涙がこぼれる。
新しい明日が 幸せであるように。
二度と無くさないように ...
romaji:
Natsukashii, anata no nukumori tooku.
Koishikute, kurushikute mune ga setsunaku naiteru.
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
Sashinoberu te sae mo utomashiku omou.
Umaku aisenakute tsuyogatteta.
Ano koro no watashi ha bukiyou datta ne.
Sugisatta hibi wo mou ichido.
Sayonara sae mo iwazu ni kieta hi no.

Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
(*) Natsukashii, anata no nukumori tooku ...
You taught me to be strong, you taught me to hold on.
When everyone around me said "It can't be done".

Just remember the words you once gave to me.

English:
Longing, your warmth is so far away.
My lonely, painful heart is crying so badly.
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
Even there is a helping hand, that is an adverse thinking.
Because I can't love you well, I played the tough girl.
Those days I was awkward, right.
All the past days I was it again.
Even without saying good bye the day vanished.
In the endless falling rain
I keep waiting for your return.
(*) Longing, your warmth is so far away.
My lonely, painful heart is crying so badly.
All the time I wish you by my side.
I wanna see you, I can't meet you, beloved ...
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
About the thing of looking back, I do it whenever I can.
I bury the time where I can't go back, until it is past.
I can't become obedient, I ran away, my
disliked tears overflow.
The truth it's your love.
Longing, you warmth is so far away.
My lonely, painful heart is crying so badly.
It's enough! Because we can start over, I am sure.
I put the lost fragment of love together.
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
Missing you. I miss you more. Missing you.
(*) Longing, your warmth is so far away ...
You taught me to be strong, you taught me to hold on.
When everyone around me said "It can't be done".
And if you can't be strong and if you can't hold on.
Just remember the words you once gave to me.
A phrase which was familiar to me,
this usual behaviour, why is it so?
The tears fall down.
That a new morning make me happy.
That I never ever lose you...
