The sixth season of Singing with Legends 我們的歌 started airing on July 21, 2024. However looking at the participants this year, it has lost the plot with quite a number of returning artists who had appeared in previous seasons and with only two artists appearing for the first time that can really be considered legends! And one of these two is a 3-member band from Denmark, Michael Learns to Rock. The other is Taiwanese singer Stella Chang 張清芳.

Mr. Mitsuya’s Planned Feeding 三ツ矢先生の計画的な餌付け。 (Japanese Series OST)
Mr. Mitsuya’s Planned Feeding 三ツ矢先生の計画的な餌付け。 is a 10-episode Japanese BL series that premiered on the early hours of July 26, 2024 in Japan. It is adapted from the manga series of the same name by Matsumoto Ayaka 松本あやか. It is good to see that Japan made diverse BL series like What Did You Eat Yesterday? a few years ago and now this new series with older actors and not always just university or young office workers BL stories.

Century of Love ปาฏิหาริย์รักร้อยปี (Thai Series OST)
Century of Love ปาฏิหาริย์รักร้อยปี is a 10-episode Thai lakorn series which premiered on July 10, 2024. This is another lakorn series with LGBTQ+ theme (well, BL if you insists, haha…) from Thailand’s Channel One31 following the very successful To Sir, With Love from 2022 and last year’s series Laws of Attraction. I have watched the first episode at normal speed and it didn’t disappoint, at least I didn’t have the urge to watch it at 2× speed like I do for many Thai BL series in the last couple of years and then drop it after just one or two episodes, LOL… Another thing I judged Thai BL series nowadays is whether the theme song is sung by a recording artist or not, if it is I usually have more confidence about the drama having interesting plotlines. On the other hand, if it is sung by the two male leads, then most of the time the drama is trying to attract audiences who just want to ship the two leading actors and not too worry about the plotlines!

How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies หลานม่า (Thai Movie OST)
How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies หลานม่า (Lahn-Mah in Thai meaning Grandma’s Grandchild; Chinese title 姥姥的外孙 in Southeast Asia or 金孫爆富攻略 in Taiwan) is a blockbuster Thai family movie which premiered in Thailand on April 4, 2024. The theme song is sung by Billkin who is the male lead in the film and a Mandarin version of the song has just been released…
An explanation for the English speakers regarding the Chinese title 姥姥的外孙, it’s not just simply grandma’s grandson. 姥姥 is a Chinese colloquial term specifically referring to maternal grandmother, which in proper term would be 外婆 or 外祖母. Paternal grandmother would be referred to as 奶奶 or 祖母.

Meet You at the Blossom 花開有時頹靡無聲 ก่อนดอกไม้…บาน (Thai Series OST)
Meet You at the Blossom 花開有時頹靡無聲 ก่อนดอกไม้…บาน is a 12-episode Thai BL series which will premiere on July 11, 2024. Although a Thai funded series, it is directed by Taiwanese director Nancy Chen 陳怡妤 and filmed entirely in China with a cast of mostly Chinese actors. It is filmed as a Mandarin language series but I believe there will be a Thai dubbed version for the Thai viewers. Meet You at the Blossom is adapted from the Chinese BL novel Blooming Flowers, Silent Sorrow 花開有時，頹靡無聲 by Shui Qian Cheng 水千丞, which was her debut novel but she is now better known for her very popular 188 series of BL novels. The opening and closing sequences have just been released with both theme songs sung by the two male leads…
