aMEI is taking some time off since February because her mother underwent surgery at the end of February for colorectal cancer. Surgery went well, mother and daughter are relieved.

aMEI refused to attend several awards ceremonies, events and TV programs, basically she lost lots of money to stay with her mom. Her agent is communicating with her though messages only, and she told him that she didn't want to sing at the moment.

Utopia 2.0 DVD/BD is right now in the editing process, aMEI hopes it will be done for summer vacation.

Utopia 2.0 DVD/BD has been postponed, aMEI is still working on editing.

She revealed a new song yesterday, 双影 Double Shadow, for a Chinese drama called 如懿傳 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace. It's a collaboration with Sandy Lam !

According to her agent, aMEI won't release a new album this year.

As for Utopia DVD/BD, aMEI is not satisfied by the finished product and has been editing the concert for months. There is no scheduled release date at the moment.

aMEI has been spending most of her time with her mom for the past year.

Audio has also been uploaded on the game's official YouTube channel:


aMEI said recently that she's working hard on Utopia DVD/BD, she will definitely release it. She's still editing the video, progress is at 9.5% according to her agent...
Still according to him, a new album is in the works ! New album and new tour are expected before the end of the year.

That's great news!
Though I'm a bit sceptical as she's already taking so long for the Utopia tour DVD and 9,5% isn't much considering it's almost July.
But her mother and her private life are definitely more important.

aMEI has been taking care of her 83 year-old mother for 2 years now.
Her mother underwent surgery a couple of years ago after a tumor was found in her colon. aMEI has been accompanying her since then.
According to reports, she barely returned to her home in Taipei in two years and mostly stayed with her mom in Taitung. Her boyfriend went there to see her quite often.

Her mom:
Spoiler:


Anyway, rumour has it that she might hold a solo concert in Taitung for New Year's Eve, and Taipei has invited her as well to participate in their New Year's Eve concert. Her agent confirmed this rumour, but said that nothing has been arranged yet. Everything is on hold at the moment until aMEI decides to resume work.

Nothing yet. Utopia DVD/BD is still not done (she apologized after a fan asked a question about it during the concert) so...
It's already a miracle that she released a new single lol

Thanks for the link to the New Year concert!
It's a nice surprise to be able to watch it.
Helps spending time till we get something new from her (like the single).

yes, it is truly a miracle
I was just asking because there was a rumor about a new album being released soon two years ago, but then her mother got sick and she took a break, left Taipei and went look after her, so releasing this new single at the beginning of this year was a complete surprise, that's why I was thinking maybe the album is finally coming but it seems it is not ..at least yet

aMEI seems to enjoy this time off, unfortunately for us ! Let's hope this free concert and the release of this single mean that she's ready to go back to work

well ... I am happy for her if she is enjoying it she gave us an amazing career lasting for 20 years now without any longer breaks, so she definitely deserves a few years off.

I´ve just got too excited when seeing a new single since it has already been 3 years since her last album (and especially considering she gave us a sequence of incredible albums in previous years - AMIT, R U Watching?, Faces of Paranoia, AMIT 2, Story Thief). But I guess, she will come back eventually ... unlike other artists she is not talking about retiring or releasing her last album. I just cannot wait for a new album and for AMIT 3 as well.

aMEI is working on a new tour, and on new songs (album I guess) as well !
If you are waiting for Utopia DVD/BD, her agent explained that they kept changing the editing, so basically they scrapped everything and really started working on it since last month.
