This is the theme for Leehom Wang’s directorial debut Love in Disguise, premiering August Thursday 12th, right on time for the debut of his new album 18 Martial Arts… which I am already pre-ordering (plus, re-packaged Jing Chang’s album xD and other stuff from YesAsia… thankyouverymuch).
I feel the MV spoils the film though, but that’s just me. The song’s good, though.
5th single already? If you paid attention, I posted Jing Chang’s 4th single just a week ago.
Otherwise known as 義氣 (Yi Qi), referring to the spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice. Aiya They Didn’t is reporting Jing Chang will be releasing a re-packaged album by the end of the week (Aug. 13th), which will include:
Not sure why this is a 5th single, since it’s not included in the copy I’ve listened of The Opposite Me, but it’s kind of a nice rock/dance song. Kinda weird… but I could dig.
I’m considering purchasing this re-packaged album. Seems like a good deal.
That’s 4 singles as videos, people. Broken is still my favorite song of her album, but Ni Shi Wei Yi (The One) was also one of the good tracks. There were a couple of good tracks…
Actually, I didn’t really love the album, I just really REALLY loved Broken. xD
This video was like Goku (Dark Hair Jing Chang) turned into Saiyan (Blond) riding on a “giant” raven. xD
The album will be released on August 13th, to coincide with the release of his directorial film debut Love in Disguise. 18 Martial Arts, which contains the first single Chai Mi You Yan Jiang Cu Cha (Daily Necessities), will be released in different versions including the Love Key HK version, Taiwan version, the House Key HK version, Taiwan version… as well as a Normal Edition HK and Taiwan, and a Taiwan version with a mini-photobook and a DVD with the MV and trailer for his film.
So…………… am I the only one thinking “I’m too sexy” by Right Said Fred.
At least in the first few seconds. LOL Right, you gotta admit that~
and the choreography. not warming up to c-pop dancing. Dance music is fine… it’s the dancing that gets to me. Like I said, there’s so many capable dancers in China/Taiwan… so graceful, so rocking. It’s just argh!
I’m all messy with my MV post titles – I usually put “original title pronunciation (with English translation)” it’s that way on my iPod anyway… but here, I post English titles sometimes because original titles are complicated, or sometimes just refer to them with their original titles because the English sounds silly.
I’m conflicted with Mad Love or Ai Fang. LOL
Anyway, I’m just posting Mad Love because I wanted to post Fu Xin Han — there you go, another example of naming. I just don’t know how to translate that xD Attached-Heart Man? See, that sounds a bit silly. However, the commercial pop video – I had a big discussion on commercial pop the other day – it looks promising for the cpop scene.
And you know what’s funnier (weird)?
My dad agrees. Hahahahaha. This is why dad rocks~
So I was showing my dad Jing’s latest music video, and we were agreeing (again) that before you realized that the video was about Cyndi Wang and her dead boyfriend, that it felt kinda gay-ish with Jing waking up next to Wang. Anyway, we ended up searching for Jing’s performances in her idol days…
I’m telling you, JingCastleSubs are the best.
And, OMG! She’s so handsome xD and I told my dad “wow, she looks more handsome than my cousins” and we burst out laughing, coz we always pick on family like this. And then we got sad… just watch the video, awwww just wanna hug her so she doesn’t cry… and then she rubs her eyes – through her non-glasses glasses, so we burst out laughing again.
My dad’s totally having an identity crisis, I just know it. LOL
And you know what’s even funnier??? The first time Jing performs on the show, the host first says “I thought this one was a girl.” Once Jing tells her she is, the host tells her that she’s a little too handsome. She totally is. LOL
柴米油鹽醬醋茶 (Chai Mi You Yan Jiang Cu Cha), the first single of the just announced new album by Lee Hom Wang – probably out by the end of the month and titled 十八般武艺 (18 Types of Martial Arts?) – has just hit the net with a concept strikingly familiar to the first 15min. of Pixar’s UP.
Which… still kill me apparently. GOSH. Damn you, Leehom – you made me teary.
and the song, literally meaning “firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea” but it just names the simple “daily necessities”. At first listen, the songs seems average LHW style, but on following listening, it makes so much more sense… especially with the video.
*EDIT*
There’s an English-subbed version courtesy of Leehom’s channel~
Starring singer/actress Cyndi Wang. Why?
“A music video always needs a beautiful girl!” said Jing.
In this MV Cyndi’s character decides to move homes after her boyfriend suddenly passes away. However, she is unable to forget her past love and returns to her old home in search of any memories. Jing is the new resident of Cyndi’s old apartment and so the two continuously pass by each other. On the other hand, Jing is slightly aware of the past memories held in this apartment. Out of the blue, while Jing is at a café, she draws a sketch of the unfamiliar, yet familiar girl.

It’s like idols pee music videos in Asia… how long has it been since The Opposite Me, and Broken were released? Yeah, like two weeks? So it’s 3 singles with an album that just came out a week ago. Western musicians release around 4 singles throughout the whole run of their album.
I have been listening to Broken (Huai Le) non-stop.
I 100% approve.
Music Day is an even sponsored by YouTube and Taiwan to promote Taiwan music artist around Asia… and I guess, across the globe, right? Thank you free-region!
