Hikaru no Go is a new Chinese TV series that premiered on October 27, 2020 and just finished its run of 36 episodes on November 26, 2020. It is a story based on the Japanese manga series from 1999-2003 centred around the Chinese board game Go 圍棋. It has a Douban television ratings of 8.4 (76,864 votes at the time of writing of this post) currently, so I decided to watch the series yesterday. Episode 1 has already got me hooked, so that’s a good sign for me to continue watching the rest of the series. By the way Hikaru no Go ヒカルの碁 was also made into an anime series in Japan in 2001 and that original series has a Douban television ratings of 9.2 (47,358 votes as of the writing of this post). The theme songs to the new series are embedded below, but most are just lyrics version…

Stardom 天后 – Andrew Tan 陳勢安
One of the biggest Mandopop hits of 2010 and also an all-time favourite song of mine. Andrew Tan is a Malaysian singer and this song was a hit in Chinese-speaking communities all over East Asia at the time… The Chinese title 天后 is Diva if translated literally. The resolution of the video is not the best but here it is anyway, enjoy!

Let Bygones be Bygones 跳上車子離開傷心的台北 – Power Station 動力火車
Just heard this song today and immediately love the melody of the song! This is the new song by Power Station 動力火車, and according to the publicity, this song is the sequel to their 2001’s song 忠孝東路走九遍. This new song is to represent what happened 20 years after the story in the 2001 song. The melody of this new song is actually a cover of the song Ghost sung by the Danish singer, Christopher, from early this year. So I have included the MVs of all 3 songs below…

Wow, GMMTV has finally uploaded all episodes of the 2019’s Thai BL drama series, He’s Coming to Me เขามาเชงเม้งข้างๆหลุมผมครับ (清明時節愛上我), onto YouTube today! What a pleasant surprise, and thank you, thank you, thank you… I watched the series on facebook earlier this year since there were no official episodes online and I had to find each episode one-by-one which was very annoying. Now they are all here on GMMTV official YouTube channel, so happy, as I want to watch the series again in the future once the current rush of numerous new BL dramas finish their runs! Anyway here is the theme song from the series, Let Love Appear (also translated as Make Love Appear) and I have also included a cover version sung by one of the lead actors in the drama, Singto Prachaya…

Tonhon Chonlatee (心之航向／愛之航向) is another Thai BL drama that started airing yesterday. I just watched part 1 of episode one and I am already RFLMAO with the opening scenes and the 9th hole, and it is not golf! I think I am going to like this drama if it is going to be that funny all through the series… The good Thai BL dramas are starting to appear all at once now in the past month, after I Told Sunset About You, and TharnType 2, LOL… This is the theme song, Not a Day Goes By That I Don’t Love You ไม่มีวันไหนไม่รัก sung by Ice Sarunyu.
