This is an indie band from Taiwan that I’ve just discovered because of this song. Formed in 2013, the band’s English name was spelled as Icy Ball originally but is now officially known as icyball. This song is from their latest album released in December last year and it is a song with a 80s/90s vibe which is right up my alley. The MV is also very unique…

The City of Musicals 愛樂之都 (2022)
Last week I came across this new reality singing show and really enjoyed the first 2 episodes, it is different from all the other reality singing shows in that it focuses on stage musicals. Musical theatres are still very new in China, Shanghai being the “city of musicals”, so this show is basically trying to attract viewers with the typical singing competition as well as to showcase musicals to the wider audiences. One of the judges is Ayanga 阿雲嘎 who is the face of musicals in China. Thank goodness this is a feel good competition with no nasty judges, but ones who give good useful feedbacks with encouragement!

Temporary Bodyguard 臨時保鏢 (Audio Drama OST) + Folding Napkin Bunny
I am reading a couple of new Chinese BL novels currently, one of course is the latest on-going 188 series, Alpha Predator 頂級掠食者 by Shui Qian Cheng 水千丞, and the other I’ve just finished reading is the newest novel San Fu 三伏 by Wu Zhe 巫哲. San Fu is another campus BL, and to be honest I really did not like the spoiled rich brat Jiang Kuo 江闊 in the beginning but luckily warmed to him by the end! The reason I started to read San Fu was because I found out that Jiang Cheng 蔣丞 from her other novel, Saye 撒野, would make an appearance as a lawyer in it, and happy to say Gu Fei 顧飛 also appeared briefly at the end!

Although this is not a BL series, you will recognise 2 familiar faces from the HIStory BL series, Wayne Song 宋偉恩 and Charles Tu 涂善存.
Three songs from the OST have just been released earlier today…

【OST】5 Thai BL Series Currently on Air, February 2022
With so many BL series going on at the moment, I’ve not been able to keep up with the pace and have neglected some series that went on air late last year and beginning of this year. It is also difficult to keep up with their soundtracks, so here are the OSTs from 5 Thai BL series that are currently on air which I must admit I have not watched any of them yet. However of the five series, it seems Not Me and Cutie Pie are the two series that are getting good reviews.
