Jay Chou's new album is tentatively scheduled for October 10 according to G-Music's Facebook.

3 releases for Jam Hsiao next week (July 29th)! They are all limited.

Spoiler:

A song from Rainie's upcoming album, Longing for (仰望), aired today on radio.
Here's Longing for (仰望).

I like the song, its a lot better than the single. I was afraid she's gonna make it all ballads showing her 'mature' self. this is really a nice song

Rainie Yang:
The cover which won earlier will be the cover for the Starry Night Edition.

thanks a lot for sharing! booklet is so pretty <3

I found A-Mei tour dates. More are going to be added, 37 dates are scheduled.

Spoiler:

I love rainie´s new album! ;) I think it is much more "mature" than previous one, also doesn´t include any "rainie´s typical cute song" which I don´t like so much. It´s more guitar and piano pop, which I prefer .. and the main song 仰望 (Yang Wang - Longing For) is amazing! what do you think about her last album? :)
