Release date: July 15th.

3 preorder versions, "Faith", "Love" & "Live"!

Vanness Wu is back with his latest Mandarin album C'est La "V", which is created with three key themes in mind: Love, Faith, and Live. It's been three years since his last Mandarin release (the hits album In Between), and the Taiwan pop star uses his new effort to show fans his progress as an artist. The lead single Is This All, featuring OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, is the theme song to Vanness's new idol drama Material Queen. The other high-profile collaboration with an in-demand American singer-songwriter is the English song Knockin', which is written and produced by Bruno Mars. Arguably the best dancer among the F4 members, Vanness demonstrates his dancing prowess through the nonstop dance moves for "Love Faith Live".

"Faith"

This Preorder Version comes with a 20-page, A4-sized behind-the-scenes photo album with the Faith cover.

Rainie is releasing a new album this month!
Longing for (仰望) is already available for preorder on YesAsia, release date July 29th.

This is the preorder version called "Blue Sky Deluxe Edition". It seems that it comes with a 64 pages photobook?
http://www.yesasia.com/global/longin...0-en/info.html

The first promo song will be a song from her drama "Drunken to love you", "We're foolish" ("我們都傻"). Sony made a contest in which people had to send through Gmail an idea for the MV's story. The 3 winners will be able to listen to one of the unreleased songs of the album.

And now we can "choose" the regular version cover until July 20th. So do you like cover A or cover B?

HEBE's 2nd solo album is coming soon...
Preorders will begin on July 15th but no release date yet.

____________________________________________
Then, about Show Luo's photobook "ESCAPE" (check my previous post about him)... (Note: it has no relation whatsoever with Only For You's Japanese version)

ESCAPE is a limited photobook (10,000 copies).
YesAsia is selling it, but since it's so limited, price is high! You can see previews in the YA link.

Oh wow that's really soon. Much faster than i expected, but I guess since Selina is still recovering it's not a total surprise.

Just as long as there is another Ji Mo Ji Mo Jiu Hao I'll be happy. : )

It seems that the beginning of preorders for July 15th wasn't a real info... Sorry >_<
(It came from JPopAsia which found it here: http://skymusic.com.hk/?p=22485)
But it seems that the album is really scheduled to be released soon... Fans are so impatient that they make fake promo pics XD
So let's wait & see.
