Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard (TV Theme Songs) 日劇《如果30歲還是處男，似乎就能成為魔法師》主題曲片尾曲
撮影＝藤本和史/スタイリスト＝馬場恭子/ヘア＆メーク＝北山まりえ
This new Japanese BL TV series has one of the longest and oddest titles I’ve come across, LOL… Based on the web-manga series, Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (30歳まで童貞だと魔法使いになれるらしい) by Yū Toyota, the TV series started airing on October 8, 2020, and so far 2 episodes out of 5 (Update October 24, 2020: I think I was wrong about the series having 5 episodes only, may have 12 episodes in total?) have been broadcast. I have watched both episodes, and it is VERY GOOD! It is also extremely funny, but you need to pay attention to what are being spoken aloud and what are their inner thoughts. Another one to add to the must-watch BL series of 2020! I have been trying to find the theme song videos but to no avail so far, only video-cuts of the opening and closing theme songs from the opening and closing credits, and a short TikTok video. But as soon as they decide to put out official music videos of both songs, I will add them here.
Update December 10, 2020: OMG! Fantastic news… There will be a luxury 3-episode epilogues spin-off from December 24, 2020… Scroll to the bottom of the page for the teaser video.
好消息。。。十二月二十四日晚上開始將有3集的番外篇在Tsutaya直播。。。

Been Here Before 來過 (French Film “Dans la Brume” Mandarin Theme Song 電影《呼吸》中文主題曲) – Calvin Hu 胡夏 featuring Jia 孟佳
This is the new Mandarin theme song to 2018 French film, Just a Breath Away (Dans la Brume), which is just about to to be released in China on October 23, 2020. SBS World Movies here in Australia screened the film last year and I did enjoy watching it. So I was quite surprised when this song popped up last night, a mandarin theme song for a French film! I quite like the song on first hearing, but only audio version is available at the moment…

I just saw the trailer, and it looks good! I love the song and in the trailer, there is a Chinese version being sung, so hopefully they will release the Chinese version too!

Too Cute to Handle ไม่รักไม่ลง – Off Jumpol ออฟ จุมพล อดุลกิตติพร & Gun Atthaphan กัน อรรถพันธ์ พูลสวัสดิ์
Apart from Thai BL dramas, I am also currently watching the “NOT BL” comedy series, I’m Tee, Me Too, starring 3 BL couples from SOTUS, Dark Blue Kiss, and Theory of Love. Off and Gun both starred in Theory of Love (2019), and also currently in I’m Tee, Me Too (2020). This is their new single, Too Cute to Handle, which has just been released. Thai’s TV series producers certainly know how to promote their CP stars, haha…

Animal Whisper (TV Theme Songs) 電視劇《黑喵知情》主題曲片尾曲插曲
This is a new 14-episode Taiwanese TV series which started airing on August 2, 2020. The English name is Animal Whisper which does not sound quite right, LOL… I think it should be Animal Whisperer as the series is about communicating with pet animals.

I am Alive – JJ Lin 林俊傑 & Jason Mraz 傑森瑪耶茲
Digging into the old music videos again after my last post, LOL… This song was a collaboration between JJ Lin and Jason Mraz from 2015. The song came about after Jason performed with JJ at the 25th Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan in 2014 and decided to collaborate on a song together. I have also included their 2014’s GMA perfomances below.

To Dear Myself (TV Theme Songs) 電視劇《親愛的自己》主題片尾曲插曲
Just heard some songs from this new TV series, To Dear Myself 親愛的自己, and love the closing credits song which is also the main theme song sung by Zhu Yilong 朱一龍 who also starred in the series. Well, you would remember him from the series, Guardian 鎮魂, from 2018 if you have watched that series. There is also an interesting name involved in post-production on some of the songs, namely Ayanga 阿雲嘎, who is known more as a theactrical actor and singer. There are only audio versions of the 4 songs so far, will add full MV if they release them in the future.
