Genre:Ballad,Rap

comments:
I was intriqued with the artist's name actually, no it ISN'T Wonder BoyS nor is this a boy version of Wonder Girls, apparently he is a solo artist. I really like this single though(despite the fact I am usually not a ballad-lover), too bad theres only one song. Like the song title suggests, it seems to be a bit on the emotional side with deep vocals, and theres this slightly odd rapping(sounds slightly like the chipmunks, which doesn't ruin the song actually, its pretty interesting).I really like the female vocals as well, she has a good strong high vocal range, I wonder who she is(is she Y.I.E?whoever that is..or is Y.I.E. the rapper?).Sometimes the rapping gets in the way with the song though, and THERE'S A TOTAL "twinkle sound" ABUSE..I keep hearing it like every 20seconds, and it gets annoying.But theres something about the "echo" of the vocals that make you shiver, and the guitar with the perfect addition of strings that make this song love.-RECOMMENDED.

[MP3]Rainie Yang-Too Much Trouble(太煩惱)-CD VERSION
from her upcoming 4th album on November 7th.2008

Lyrics:

一樣的化妝 一樣的頭髮
大家通通太像 多無聊啊

剪雜誌不如自己想 學誰不如自己闖
每個人總會有一件事 要比別人強
沒有那麼漂亮就更用心化妝
現在沒有辦法上 努力微笑放光芒

我煩惱 太被動並不好
煩惱 太衝動也不好
煩惱 自信在動搖
煩惱 煩惱 鑽進了牛角

我煩惱 太聰明並不好
煩惱 太愚蠢更不好
煩惱 誰都不明瞭
煩惱 煩惱 太煩惱的苦惱

I dont know what to think about this episode, I found myself a bit dissapointed in Keito.
SPOILER ALERT:
I don't know why she was just standing there in the storage room?..and why she would slap Nako, and just stood there for her to get slaped back.I would've bit her, and bit Maasa too...why did she let herself get locked up?!?!I am starting to think she is stupid.

HK-Movie 2008
Henry(Alex Fong), a conman, falls in with sweet and naive Bobo(Stephy Tang), a rather foolish girl who first meets him canoodling with an old school chum. Soon after, she hears that Henry has absconded with her pal's dough and when chancing upon him again, she realizes that he's a despicable conman who's up to no good. When Henry threatens Bobo if she tells the cops that she's seen him, she agrees to shut her trap. But Bobo wants Henry's help. She used to run a popular dessert cafe called Bobo Tim Bun with her boyfriend Chun. But Chun was quickly charmed by Bobo's old friend Kiki who, promptly took both Bobo's man and her position as the dessert shop's driving force. Fittingly, Bobo wants revenge and she thinks Henry is just the man to do it for her.

Jay Chou-Capricorn(Pre-Release Version)
Release:9/29/08
Language:Chinese
Taiwan's prince of Mando-pop Jay Chou merges music with the art of sorcery on his latest album, Capricorn, named after his own Zodiac sign. As Jay is especially adept in card tricks, his ninth full-length album features a retro poker card design. Jay appears in a playful double jack of spades image to match his two new songs "Magic" and "Clown". Jay's new principal song Dao Xiang ("Rice Fragrance") returns to the basic elements of music. Penned and composed by Jay, the song revolves around childhood experiences in a small village, and uses simple rhythm and natural sounds, including that of cicadas, accompanied by folk guitar and hip-hop beats.
