This afternoon I was listening to a Taiwanese streaming radio station and a favourite classic song by Taiwanese singer, A-Mei 張惠妹, was played which I haven’t heard for ages. A-Mei’s first two albums released were two of the biggest selling albums of the 1990s and many of her songs became classics in the second half of the 90s as well. So I have chosen 3 of the ballads from her to reminisce including the song that I heard today 原來你什麼都不要…

Wu Di In Love 無敵愛上你 (Malaysian Series OST)
Wu Di In Love 無敵愛上你 is the first Mandarin language BL web series from Malaysia that first streamed online from February 14, 2022 to February 25, 2022. However it’s not the first Malaysian BL series, the first was the Malay language BL series that streamed in December last year, Stay Away from Me.
I had a quick glance at episode 1 and the screaming girls in the first scene is not a good sign, LOL… However I like the theme song which is sung by Taiwanese singer, Afalian Lufic 盧學叡…

KinnPorsche: La Forte (Thai Series OST)
KinnPorsche The Series: La Forte is a new 14-episode Thai BL series that premiered on April 2, 2022. The series is based on the webnovel of the same name by Daemi. Outside Thailand, the series is available on the international branch of the Chinese streaming platform, iQiyi. It is very interesting as China banned all BL series but international branch of the Chinese streaming platforms such as iQiyi, Bilibili, & Tencent (WeTV) are now all very active in streaming BL series outside China! The official Chinese title 黑幫少爺愛上我 means Young Gangster Master Fell in Love with Me, LOL… By the way, La Forte version of KinnPorsche is the uncut full version of the series available on iQiyi…
Anyway two MVs of the theme song have been released from the OST…

Heartstopper (British Series OST)
Last year we have the Swedish series Young Royals, this year we are getting another excellent LGBTQ+ coming-of-age series from the UK, Heartstopper. Based on the webcomic and graphic novel of the same name by Alice Oseman, the brand new 8-episode series premiered on April 22, 2022. It is a very good and well told story that I binge watched all 8 30-minute episodes last night and thoroughly enjoyed the series.
The songs used in the new series are very much all previous releases from the indie pop artists around the world. However there is one new song that was released in conjunction with the series by Baby Queen. The composer in charge of the music scores for the series is Adiescar Chase.

Let Me Sing Love Songs for You only for the Rest of My Life 讓我餘生只為你唱情歌 – icyball 冰球樂團
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…
