You may not have heard of this novel, but if you watched a lot of BL or BL adapted TV series, and I say to you the 2019 TV series, The Untamed 陳情令, then you already know about the novel because the TV series was adapted from this novel!

Mr. Dior 迪奧先生 (Audio Drama Song)
Mr. Dior 迪奧先生 written by Lv Ye Qian He 綠野千鶴 is an extremely funny BL novel that I’m reading at the moment. It is set in the near future when mobile phone is obsolete and people are now implanted with a data chip in their brain that replaces the phone and can be controlled through a device they wear like a wristwatch. The only problem is that now everyone must be careful not to get their head bumped or hit as that could cause severe problem with the data chip and their brain wiring function.

Check Out คืนนั้นกับนายดาวเหนือ (Thai Series OST)
Another new BL drama from Thailand. Check Out คืนนั้นกับนายดาวเหนือ is a spin-off from Skinship. Interestinly the Thai title translated as That Night with Mr. North Star which I think is a much better title than Check Out, which can be quite confusing for a drama title, LOL. Not sure if the story is a continuation from Skinship or new storylines as I only watched a couple of episodes from season 1 of Skinship and did not watch season 2 at all. According to the announcement video just released, Check Out will premiere on August 22, 2021 with Episode 0, which seems like it will be a prologue or prequel episode and not the proper series episode?

Cotton Handkerchief 木綿のハンカチーフ – Hashimoto Ai 橋本愛
Yesterday Thai actor Perth Nakhun uploaded his rendition of a Japanese song, 木綿のハンカチーフ, on his YouTube channel. It was such a beautiful song and I love it. I then went looking for the version of the song he covered from sung by Hashimoto Ai 橋本愛, and then found out the original song was actually from 46 years ago, first released on December 21, 1975! Below are the MV of the song by Ai released in April this year and also the original version by Ōta Hiromi 太田裕美 from 1975 which was an upbeat song…

Three Mandarin songs that are huge on the net at the moment, either due to being used as a popular meme song, or being covered by a lot of online singers.

Meow Meow Boss 我的老闆是隻貓 (Taiwanese Webdrama OST)
Meow Meow Boss 我的老闆是隻貓 is a new 7-episode fantasy mini-drama from Taiwan of about 15 minutes per episode. It premiered on July 16, 2021. The screenplay was written by Taiwanese screenwriter/author, Lin Peiyu 林珮瑜, who also wrote some of the HIStory series of BL dramas but Meow Meow Boss is not BL. For fans of WBL series from earlier this year, you will also recognize two of the actors, Ray Chang 張睿家 and Richard Lee 李齊 who played a cat-spirit and a dog-spirit respectively. I just watched the trailers and they look interesting. The closing theme song has also been released and it is sung by two former contestants of Jungle Voice season 2 聲林之王2 in 2019.
