Thank you so much, Linoa!

She has Instagram, didn't know. Gonna follow her.
And gosh, there's so much old stuff from her music I still don't know.

And I only put studio albums in that list! I didn't include her bests (sometimes they contain unreleased songs), her standalone singles...

"Only" 32 songs... Maybe she had to scrap several songs for time constraints?

Does it seem likely she'll wait another four years before releasing new music? I know her last releases were the videos from AMIT2, but she did take quite some time between R U Watching? and PARANOIA.

That's a damn long setlist for her tour!
How long is the show? 4 hours?

Is it just me or she looks like a mixture of Namie and Janet Jackson? In the first pic, she really resembles Namie.

The cover for Faces of Paranoia looks nice. I may download something from her. What are her main genres?

Maybe you should try her YouTube channel first? It has all MVs from her latest albums Faces of Paranoia & AMIT 2.

I give this thread a little bump so once again thanks for creating her thread, Linoa! ;-)
I do not "feel" her older stuff (only the debut album), but I like her stuff since Star album (2007). R U Watching & Faces of Paranoia are great, but especially her rock alter ego AMIT and AMITII! One of the best albums I have ever heard.

aMEI added 2 dates in the US!

aMEI has recorded a new album, its release is expected for October or November!

And she scrapped her first idea pour Utopia World Tour DVD/BD.
The first dates in Taipei (April 2015) were supposed to be the ones used for the DVD, but she didn't like the result...
...So she decided to film Kaohsung dates instead from Utopia 2.0 (August 12th, 13th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th, 27th 2017).

New album coming on December 12th called 偷故事的人 Story Thief !
Title song of the same name will be revealed on November 21st.

I love her! Bad Boy is my favorite album.

Oh yay, a new album!
And so soon.

What's with the Utopia World Tour DVD now?
Anything up yet for information?

I was super happy to hear this news. And I love that this will be another dark album from her. I think Faces of Paranoia and Amit2 were great, but I feel their stories weren't completely tied up. I hope Story Thief closes Paranoia on a solid note.

Please, please, please aMEI... make this the best album of 2017. I need something for this year to end on a good note. I really do. And she saved 2014 and 2015 for me. So, I would love her to be the big record for me again for 2017.

I checked her out on youtube last night. Her music was relaxing! Which album of hers do you recommend to start with?
