Good news and bad ones~
First, about a week or two ago Yuguo announced that they were finally releasing their third full studio album Sunset Strip (日落大道), which seemed like it had been in the planning for ages [1].
It’s the 23rd in China, and it happened!
You can listen to the album (and download the songs) via Xiami.
VIP Xiami perks don’t work, you gotta use your actual credits to download, which I think is iffy as a user experience. I mean when and how do you determine an artist should apply for free VIP downloads or paid non-VIP ones? I think they should make VIP download counts as credit (eg. 500 points) and label each song/album with how much credit they take (eg. 0.8 points per regular song… and maybe 1.6 points for downloads such as this?).
But I digress…
They also updated with this:
As per wonky Google translate and mine, I started to freak out.
羽果将无限期暂停所有正式演出活动！
Yuguo will indefinitely pause/suspend all official performances.
Are they taking a break? You mean a break like Rachel and Ross??? Or a break like NSYNC?? Is it a regular break-break because they’re tired and want to rest, dedicating time to their family and friends. I’m all confused because according to this, Yuguo is not disbanding. But I can’t read the last paragraph!!!! I know, I feel it in my heart that the key is in the last paragraph! LOL
