I'm sorry I haven't posted anything and I'm also sorry for everyone on my F-list:  I haven't been keeping up with anything posted in the last few weeks, so if I missed something major (e.g. Fusion finally put out a second album), please tell me!  (No, they didn't to my knowledge, so hopefully you didn't just read out-of-context and run around your ( Read more... )

I posted one of his Mandarin compilations earlier, so you can find it under the "Maoshan Lee" tag if you missed it.

Recently, I've probably been watching too much Taiwanese TV. XD A couple of the shows I watch have quite a bit of Taiwanese/Hokkien in them:  "百万大歌星" and "王牌大明星."  The former is a contest in which various singers try to remember lyrics ( Read more... )

No, this isn't a newcomer who has just released his first album.  This is an old album released back in 1985.  Junrong hasn't released an album in quite a while, but he did give Jay Chou his chance to release an album.  (This was a really good decision!)  He's also the other J and the R in JVR Music, the company founded by Jay Chou, Vincent Fang, ( Read more... )

These are some songs that I randomly bought or downloaded.  Since they either aren't part of a full album or I didn't upload the whole album, I'll stick them here.

( Lots of good songs under the cut! )

I'm sure other Jay Chou fans have parents who listen to Fei Yuqing, but I'd never heard of him until I heard "千里之外"/"Far Away."  (Of course, I'd only known who Jay was for a very short time before I heard this song, to be honest!)

Old Chinese albums seem hard to find over the Internet, but I heard "迟来的爱" ("Tardy Love") pretty early on when I was searching for Chinese songs because the lyrics were on Ting Dong.  I liked it, but hadn't gotten around to buying anything from Maoshan Lee until recently.  The first time, when I ordered a Hokkien CD, my order fell through.  This ( Read more... )

A couple of low-quality clips from Song Zuying's Shanghai concert.  Hopefully, better ones will start to pop up (with more parts of the concert) because it took me a while to figure out that they were singing "天涯歌女" in the one clip!

As the tag says, this is Teresa Teng singing in Taiwanese Hokkien.  Please excuse my attempts at Hokkien transliterations for the tags of like half of the songs here. :X At least you can't say I didn't try!  However, I won't try to translate all of the album titles, since some of them make absolutely no sense to someone like me who only understands ( Read more... )

I finally got my CDs yesterday!!!

One of the albums I bought is called "The Golden Tripod Awards" for some reason.  It has 2 CDs:  One Mandarin and one Hokkien.  I'll upload the Hokkien later, but this post is for the Mandarin part.  I guess I didn't preview very many of the songs from this album before I bought it, but that could be because so few ( Read more... )

...Which aren't so new anymore because this is volume one and there are at least 3 volumes.  Another Amazon download.  I actually downloaded this based on one of the songs from another album, but Amazon's previews are dumb.  Some of them don't have any vocals at all in them, so it's hard to tell what the singer sounds like.  I found Su Yun's vocals ( Read more... )
