Selina from S.H.E shared a song!
From JPopAsia:

Quote:

Just a few days before her wedding, Selina shares a heartfelt new song thanking everyone in her life for the love and support she's received during, as she describes in the song, "the most nightmarish period in my life".

The song, titled "*Everyone Who's Loved Me (愛我的每個人)", is composed by JJ Lin and is Selina's first trip back to the studio.

Fans left comments such as, "Thank you for teaching us the real meaning of being brave..", and, "Selina, don't you dare doubt it, you're really amazing! You have our support~ We're awaiting your return~ (Darn these uncontrollable tears~ Huhuhu)"

As if not enough tears have been shed, Selina also leaves many little messages throughout the video for the most important people in her life. At the 4:14 mark, Selina writes,
"At least I've never been alone,
I have people who love me very much like my parents, sisters, and Richard,
thank you for being there for me,
accompanying me as I cry these endless tears,
accompanying me as I swallow these endless hardships,
accompanying me as I walk towards this endless path,
Of course, to all of you who have send me well wishes,
Thank you all..."
Selina will no doubt make a lovely bride on October 31st! Here's wishing the couple all the marital bliss and happiness in the world!

New song from Jay's upcoming album: Mine Mine.

And MV preview

I'm beginning to feel most of Jay's slow/ballads just all sound the same

***koumori*** · #**424** 1st November 2011, 03:25 AM

^ In Mine Mine he sounds so auto-tuned..almost robotic.

Lol I remember my friend being really into Jay Chou..she had posters all over her room.

Thanks for sharing the videos Luna.

pommy48 · #**425** 2nd November 2011, 02:50 AM

^ He's been getting into autotune since with The Era >_>

PoetGirl · #**426** 2nd November 2011, 10:22 AM

yeah, jay chou doesnt offer anything new for a long time now. such a shame, I remember I was freaking out back in the days about his albums. JJ Lin is someone who offers something fresh every time but still keeps his identity.

maddy1111 · #**427** 2nd November 2011, 01:15 PM

Jay Chou albums used to be awesome back in 2000-2007 (Eight Dimensions, Ye Hui Mei, Novembers Chopin, Still Fantasy = masterpieces!), but the last album I really liked from him was On The Run (2007), Capricorn(2008) was disappointed for me, and The Era(2010) was just an average album(but Superman Cant Fly was excellent song)
so I don´t know what to expect now, Exclamation Point is good song but nothing "spectacular" (moreover I hate its MV), and Mine Mine is quite boring, it sounds like mid-tempo RnB song from early 00s :-/

JJLin news

Quote:

After signing with Warner Music, JJ Lin’s highly anticipated new album will be released in December. Warner Music is also ensuring that JJ is getting top of the line treatment at the company; they’re spending 8 million TWD to film his MV with over 25 staff members accompanying him to Switzerland and Czech Republic. Both his album cover and MV will be shot there. JJ reveals that he got many inspirations for writing the new songs when he traveled to Europe a while ago, which is also why Warner decided to film the MV and do the album photo shoot there. (photo: JJ poses with his and his staff members' luggage)

With 25 staff members, plane tickets cost over 2 million TWD and hotel expenses add up to over 1.3 million TWD. The company exclaims, “It is burning a lot of money,” but for the sake JJ, they can only endure the pain.

The company reportedly got advice from a fortune-teller to pick a good date for JJ’s album release. Thus, it was decided to be during December. JJ will make it just in time to apply for next year’s Golden Melody Awards.

i still think november chopin is the best Jay album :p

PoetGirl · #**435** 11th November 2011, 12:19 AM

jay chou's album is actually pretty solid. Tracks I hate I really cant stand
and tracks I like I really love, and those are pretty ballads lol ofcourse.

I've heard JW's Thats me EP and I love all the tracks, Juicy Girl is a must listen.

Smire's EP Love Me is ok but too average imo.
