01. 惡之必要 Necessary Evil

https://i.imgur.com/apm5tNA.jpg
02. 玫瑰少年 Womxnly
Who put the wrong souls into the wrong bodies
And turn those bodies into self-imprisoning jails?
In troubled times, hearsay abounds
Some beauties simply arouse envy
You are not guilty, it’s the world that is guilty

*Being alive is not a sin
You don’t need to be sorry
One day I will be you Baby boy, and you gon’ be me
If the clamor won’t stop,
I’ll stay quiet with you
I wish I could hug you till you’re really really being free

**The most beautiful roses have the sharpest thorns
A life in rosy hues shall be
The cold dish of revenge we serve the haters
Never let anyone change who you are
Boy or girl, you can be whichever you want
There will always be someone willing to cherish you

Try to imagine you switched to his body
Sexuality may be their reason to harm you
Countless deep wounds, endless cold insults
Who’ll be there when you’re drowning?
Who’ll be there when you’re dreaming?

Same shit happens every day
Has the world changed since you left?
Mistakes of ignorance still happen nowadays
We’ll never ever forget Yung-Chih, your story will be forever engraved in time

* Repeat
** Repeat

Rose Boy, your story will always be in my heart
Blooming vigorously in rose pink
You’ll never be forgotten by us

Your accusation was silent
Yet it has conveyed profound truths
Yet it has awakened innumerable kind-hearted people

https://i.imgur.com/xVYCqil.jpg
03. 怪美的 Ugly Beauty
Lurking evil has always been around me
I’ve grown up in dirt with little support from society
But those traumas nourished me and made me tough
Those comments condemning the ugly and idolizing the beautiful
Oh, they made me laugh to tears

Survival of the fittest? Who are you to judge? What’s the rush?
Self-loving, self-loathing, self-negating
My external self reflects my internal self

*Who are you to say Wrong or right?
Beautiful or ugly?
If you ask me, I would say
I’m insanely beautiful.
If you can’t see my beauty, you must be blind
Talking sweetly in front of me but saying foul things behind my back
Who dares to set the standards of beauty
True self, false self, my self; Who I wanna be today
It all depends on me

Repeat *

Who can take me to the next level?
I’ve shouldered too many moral responsibilities. Living has become such a torture
Hurt me as you may. Defame me as you may. I don’t care
Being too polite to people can take a negative toll on the soul
Positive and negative energy, I’ve taken them all in
Beauty and ugliness are both necessary.
I don’t care if you love me or hate me
Save your disingenuous hugs
To thrive, we have to unleash our inner evil

Who are you to say Wrong or right?
Beautiful or ugly?
If you ask me, I would say I’m insanely beautiful.

https://i.imgur.com/BZjpymZ.jpg
04. 你也有今天 KARMA
When your dearest treats you like a disposable toy
Like a lamb to the slaughter, I fall into your decoy
Falling from Cloud nine
Does my pain bring you joy?
When the most caring embrace chokes the heart
And the tenderest hands ruthlessly strike
When the most cherished lips bite back
You deserve it, deserve it

*You will finally know what is karma
And learn the lesson you taught me
Thanks for living up to my expectation
Serves you right, finally

Watch as the butterfly becomes the Queen bee
See how the sheep retaliates against the beast
Witness the weak tears reincarnate into diamond fists
Isn’t it amusing? Amusing isn’t it?

* Repeat

A master heartbreaker, you should know
This heartache is nothing, compare to my woes
Just wait and see, Fate’s got more up her sleeve
The best is yet to come

You’re living proof that karma is real
A living nightmare is how it feels
Don’t let me down, here’s my wish to you
“Many happy returns”
Year in, year out
Year in, year out

https://i.imgur.com/qpgj6PM.jpg
05. 紅衣女孩 Lady In Red
Why is Mona Lisa black-haired, not red-haired?
Why’re you drinking black coffee, not red tea?
I like it red… I like it red…

Why do brides wear white veils, not red veils?
Why do you wear a bowtie, not a red flower?
I like it red… I like it red…

*How do you draw blue apples?
What outfits match with green dance shoes?
How do I use my phone when the screen goes black?
Don’t get it? Go play in the sandbox

**Red roses, are they blooming? Are they?
Red candles, are they lit? Are they?
Red clothes, are they dirty? Are they?
Hey, it’s your fault. Why’re you staring at me?
I like it red… I like it red…

If you hate me, I will take double the payback
If you love me, you will be doubly repaid
Love or Hate, I’m game
My red you won’t forget

I’m blood, I’m fire, I’m danger
I’m tears, I’m red eyes, I’m the lady in red
If my feelings for you could say their last words
I would hear your strong prejudice against the color red

Why are piano keys either black or white?
Why don’t people throw red handkerchiefs when they surrender?

I like it red…

* Repeat
** Repeat x2

Why must Prince Charming ride a white horse?
Why are you drinking black beer, not red raspberry sour?

I like it red…
U fucking dead

https://i.imgur.com/ylXS53g.jpg
06. 甜秘密 Sweet Guilty Pleasure
*I want you,
I desire you
Though we both carefully conceal our dirty minds, yah

**All sorts of dirty fantasies pop into our minds
I know you’re always more than ready for this

The signs you’re horny give me great satisfaction
Your nervous swallowing brings me huge enjoyment

Enough asking.
We will get down to business
But I’m not done yet. We’re not rushing into it

***Let me set free your wrinklebeast
and tame the monster in my palm
Stand straight up, baby

****How naughty can you be?
How mischievous can you be?
Aren’t you super excited
being teased by me?

*****This wicked foreplay is driving you ecstatic
Enjoy this
Deep sweet guilty pleasure
Baby it’s a piece of cake

*Repeat
**Repeat

Panting, Twisting, How amusing!
Pleading, Moaning, How adorable!

Look at your body involuntary twitching
By this snake charmer you’ve been hypnotized

***Repeat
****Repeat
*****Repeat

I ride on you
You’re under my control
I can’t resist it anymore
Not anymore

****Repeat
*****Repeat

07. 愛的羅曼死 Romance
How incredible that two people are destined to meet in a corner of this vast world
In cheesy love movies, whirlwind romances happen in the blink of an eye
Romance is poisonous, but some people are willing to hurt themselves for love
Unlike us, we end up together simply out of convenience

I can live a mundane life and have lots of babies with you
or we can have a dramatic relationship and deal with malicious gossip
There are both U and I in our “juicy” relationship
But in reality, the most popular love words are “I’ll buy you a house”

All I wish for is a typical romantic relationship
Candlelight, roses, entanglements, and vows
No need to be extraordinary
I just want to love you till the end of my life
After all, I’m not that valuable in your eyes

Really, all I wish for is a standard romantic relationship
From “I love you” to “goodbye”, every act is the climax
However, what’s underneath the pink wrapping paper is the damn reality
My tears are not enough to compose a poem

This marks the last time I lay my head on your chest and view cherry blossoms at night
The whole country mourns the death of our relationship with overwhelming noise
I need to get myself a blood red tattoo to get over our painful breakup
But all you need is a short breakup text, and then you move on

All I wish for is a typical romantic relationship
Candlelight, roses, entanglements, and vows
No need to be extraordinary
I just want to love you till the end of my life
After all, I’m just another cheap girl for you

Maybe what I really want is a melodramatic romance
Tragically beautiful and heart-wrenching
Unfortunately, what’s underneath the pink wrapping paper is our plain and ordinary life
At what point did our romance die ?

08. 如果我沒有傷口 Vulnerability

https://i.imgur.com/eoqkv7L.jpg
09. 腦公 Hubby
I’ve hit the jackpot, joy from above
No other words than I’ve struck gold
Waking up to you is enough to fill me up

Um lala Um ah ah ah
Just your imagination, I didn’t say a thing
Would you like a piece of toast?
Smile sweetly

Wanna call you my hubby hubby hubby
Every minute and every second, hubby hubby hubby
Always be with me, love me, cherish me, hug me

My hubby, like the extraordinary in the ordinary
Shining so brightly, makes me go ah-ooh ah-ooh
And I, like a reptile, cling onto you
for warmth
Going ah-ooh ah-ooh for you, oh yes

My hubby drives my imagination wild
Like my Senpai, reset my system mode oh
My hubby knows everything
Just doesn’t quite get me

If, one day, we let ourselves go
And chubby we both grow
Even then, don’t forget our taste for
Each other

Wanna call you my hubby hubby hubby
Every minute and every second, hubby hubby hubby
Keep your eyes on me always
Ok?

My hubby, like the extraordinary in the ordinary
Shining so brightly, makes me go ah-ooh ah-ooh
And I, like a reptile, see you in
full color

Hubby hubby hubby
Every minute and every second, hubby hubby hubby
Eyes on me only

My hubby, like the extraordinary in the ordinary
My hubby drives my imagination wild
Like my Senpai, reset my system mode oh
My hubby knows everything
Just doesn’t quite get me

Wooo You’re quite lucky
Wooo To be my hubby

https://i.imgur.com/3x5RkGY.jpg
10. 消極掰 Life Sucks
Don’t wanna wake up, don’t wanna go to bed
Don’t wanna change my underwear, don’t wanna take a bath
Just wanna surrender and wallow in self-pity
System malfunction. Noise jamming.

*Life sucks
Romance dies
There is no greater sorrow than apathy
I’ve got nothing but my glazed eyes now

Struggle to find love; suffer from loneliness
Struggle to make a living; stay in a job I hate for small paychecks
Down on my luck, only attracting jerks
It takes time to take these dark jokes

**Well said. You fall down, you lie down
Be negative. Negativity helps. Life has its ups and downs
Well said. Flush your bad luck down the toilet and forget about it
Be negative. Shake hands with your negativity and then throw it out

***Well said. You fall down, you lie down
Be negative. Negativity helps. Life has its ups and downs
Well said. Flush your bad luck down the toilet and forget about it
Be negative. Embrace your negativity and then cut it out

No more fake smiles. It’s fine to look gloomy
No more being polite. Wanna get unreasonable
Heartbroken. Wanna put all my troubles behind me
Hormones out of whack. No longer thinking straight

* Repeat

Struggle to find love; suffer from loneliness
Struggle to make a living; stay in a job I hate for small paychecks
Down on my luck, only attracting jerks
Gotta calm down and figure out why life throws us curve balls

** Repeat
*** Repeat x2

Enough rest. Time to gear up
Enough lethargy. Get up and stretch
Enough negativity. Say goodbye to negative thoughts
While there’s life there’s hope. Negativity is the way to healing.

Thank you Linoa for keeping us in the loop.

It's more like the other way around, Karry Wang feat. Jolin.
He asked her for a collaboration because he thought that a female voice would be nice on this song, and she said yes !
Their collaboration was revealed during his concert last Saturday in Beijing, when they performed it together on stage.
Studio version has been released several hours later.
The song title can be translated as Heart Attraction.

Official Live Video

Collaboration single 心引力 Gravity is now available worldwide on Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify...

Awesome setlist BUT no shadow self :/

This looks amazing, has her tours always been this grand?

I know it's the theme and all with Ugly Beauty, but the stage design and the head are looking bad, like they haven't put much effort into the design.
The costumes are nice tho and the setlist is awesome!
Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less, but yes, her tours always have a grand production with stage, props, costumes and dancers.

Btw. Namie Amuro apparently flew to Taiwan to see the tour.

As a whole (choreographies, staging, props and so on), I would say that it's her grandest to date.
I think it's also the most expensive: 7,000,000 € or USD$ 8,000,000 have been spent for this Tour.

Happy New Year everyone, here's plenty of fancams of the 1st two days !

1st day

Spoiler:

2nd day

Spoiler:

Yesterday she added a medley of 5 ballads to the setlist as a New Year's Gift: 假裝 Pretence, 非賣品 Priceless, 我知道你很難過 I know you're feeling blue, 妥協 Compromise, 你快樂嗎 Are you happy. These songs were previously chosen by fans online.

Ah man I really want to go to her show!

It also makes me happy knowing Namie went to see her :)

Someone re-edited the tour clips available and made this this trailer!!

EDIT: thank you KLJames!

"Greatest Love of All" from Ugly Beauty tour:

Vogue Taiwan uploaded some footage from the tour:

Setlist of the 1st 5 concerts:

Spoiler:

Here's what Jolin said during a talk at tonight's concert:

Quote:

“Lots of fans often tell me ‘You are strong and you give us a lot of strength.’ Actually, you don’t know, sometimes I’m very scared too, there are also times when I am unsure.
When I’m afraid, like you, I hope to hear a word of encouragement. The voice of your support gives me strength.
Actually, I’m not as powerful as you think. I hope no one notices when I make a mistake, I go to work and I think about getting off work, I think of traveling when I’m working, I think of working when I’m traveling, sometimes I get very confused.
I am able to express myself by writing in a diary, so this concert comes from my emotions and my diary, it’s my own theme. I want to share it with you, I’m just like you, there are strange, ugly things in this head. In this concert, there are many stories of my state of mind. In addition to watching this concert, I also hope that you can be brave enough to get a glimpse of yourself. You are actually stronger than me, you guys give me strength. Thank you all.”

^yeah, for a long time it was the only namie song on all services, including instagram

Kaohsiung's concerts (Taiwan) in May are still on at the moment, but they might be postponed as well, it depends on Taiwan's policies towards coronavirus.

Looks like she and her team handled this quite well, so it did not really tarnish her career and her image.

By the way, Ugly Beauty World Tour's Kaohsiung's concerts have been postponed as well.

EDIT: Hulu Japan aired some exclusive footage of WE ♥ NAMIE HANABI SHOW. Here's a bit of I'm not yours' performance's rehearsals !

official Miss Trouble live video from Ugly Beauty tour:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXMQ1eWq7qs

It's not just a live video, it's advertised as Miss Trouble official live MV that we're getting 6 years after the release of PLAY.
Jolin is missing performing on stage and interacting with fans, and she was so happy with the editing of the concert that she wanted to give us this video as a gift.
No plans at the moment for a DVD/BD release obviously, since the tour, even if it's postponed at the moment, is not canceled.

This tour is amazing! OMG

Myself is celebrating today its 10th anniversary !

Womxnly MV story version leaked today !
Jolin's staff asked everyone not to share links and as far as I know, every upload has been deleted. They want us to wait for the official release.

Oh god I just realized Castle is 16 years old lol
That was my first Jolin release all those years ago!
I’d say it still has the most sentimental value for me

actually mine too!
it was one of the first C-pop albums I came across (together with Sky by Faye and some album by Kelly Chen), it still has a very nostalgic value for me ... and Ai Qing 36 Ji is still such a bop!

^^ It was mine too!

I remember my brother was away at college, so he burned a copy for my mom and I. She would play it in the car while dropping me off in middle school.

In the end, it seems that the MV director posted it himself online (which would explain why the leak was the full video in fullHD...), but since Jolin scrapped the MV because she doesn't like it, her staff asked him and others who uploaded the video online to delete it.

A MV for Womxnly story version is still scheduled.

Jolin (feat. whoohoo) for ELLE taiwan...

ELLE taiwan

GODDESS!!!

Jolin is working on:
► being able to bring her foreign dancers to Taiwan in order to resume the Tour
► shooting MVs for the remaining songs of Ugly Beauty
► a new album (still collecting demos).

Jolin shot a new MV for the last 2 days with director OUTERSPACE Leo ! She posted a picture yesterday on her Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEwj6Dos_TH/

Song has not been revealed but fans are thinking either Necessary Evil, Womxnly story version (the blood and the floor I guess in Jolin's pic), Vulnerability.
But most of them seem to think that it's Sweet Guilty Pleasure after seeing something in the director's Instagram posts and stories...
I've been looking at them several times but can't find the clue(s) they're talking about *sigh*

Absolutely agree, i just need dance scene and herself, tbh.

omg THE SHAPE OF WATER LMAO

Queen! i wasn't expecting it to work from the previews but it's so good!!!!! I love the story and everything!

Director Outerspace Leo answered to some netizens who wrote that the song and MV had no relation whatsoever:

Quote:

Director Outerspace Leo read some negative comments from netizens yesterday saying that the MV and the song had no relation whatsoever. He couldn't sleep, so he decided to write an explanation of the MV, but then he deleted everything. His customers, team, and people he cares about understands him, and that's the most important. They worked 6 months on 甜秘密 Sweet Guilty Pleasure MV, and he doesn't regret one second of it. These "negative voices" may be right, or may be wrong, but they and him just don't think alike, that's all.

Shame, it would have been very interesting to read how he came up with this script from the song.

From another interview:

Quote:

"Many people think that dance music MVs can only use the same things, they just need nice clothes, finding great dancers and it's done." That's why he decided to make a "music movie", to try to break most people's previous impression on dance music MVs.
In Outerspace Leo's mind, Jolin is a very diverse artist, who can sing dance music or ballads. So he decided to integrate multiple materials in the MV. He said "You can't look at such a top artist from a very narrow perspective".
At first he thought that the script he wrote for the MV would be refused since the story is a bit weird and scary, and it was not fitting Jolin's past image. But Jolin and her agent agreed ! Outerspace Leo knows that many people won't be able to accept the MV, but like he said, he can't control everyone’s thoughts. He and his team don't have any regrets.

Toxic fans, just like when utada released her album Blue and in the cover she was wearing red... fans wants video to be like in the 80s.

Wow that video for Sweet Guilty Pleasure was very unexpected lol!

Finally ordered the Blu ray for the Play tour after wanting it for so long, and it was amazing!! Does anyone know if any of the shoes for the Ugly Beauty tour have been filmed for DVD yet? I really hope we can get the physical copy sooner rather than later
