Current Fav OST Tracks from Hot Shot (籃球火)

Ending theme of the currently airing Taiwanese drama serial, 籃球火 (Hot Shot), 一半 sung by Jerry Yan 言承旭 himself, 1 of the male leads of the show too:



Me quite surprised Jerry Yan actually sounded not bad for the song! But then, this type of 'melt melt' song is my fav type, so, maybe I'm a bit biased. ;)

Anyway, complete version of the song not available yet, it's not in the OST album. I guess it'll be recorded in Jerry's own album in the near future.

The other craze from the same show: Superman, by 倪子冈.

The dance seen in the clip is performed by the basketball team during their warmup sessions, then when they won their 1st championship title, they danced this in front of their opponents & fans, driving the opponents nuts!

This isn't the official MTV for the song, but I prefer this version from the 幕后花絮, cos it's the only complete version of the dance. Hence the screen shots don't look so 'cool'.

For a fuller impact of how the dance infuriated the opponents, view episode 6 of the drama, when the team danced after they just won.

Watched Osen (料理仙姬) in 3 Days

Realised I haven't been blogging about the shows I'm watching, partly cos I got so engrossed, I use all my free time to chase the good shows. Only after I've finished a drama serial do I remember to record & share it......

The craze this time is last season's Jap drama Osen. Took me some time to lay my hands on all 10 episodes, & I'm glad I did!

Though each episode is an individual story, it's very tempting to know what food would be featured in the next episode, & to know if the male & female lead would end up together.

So I end up feeling lack of sleep (again), & have a new love for the show's ending theme, 恋诗：

Theme Song for CHANGE

Didn't really notice the music for the show, as was concentrating too hard on following the plot & subtitles. ;P

Anyway, the only song of note is the closing theme song, Miles Away, by Madonna:

太王四神记 OST

Latest drama serial chasing craze: Korea's 太王四神记 starring 裴勇俊.

The Korean theme song of the show, 千年戀歌 by the group 東方神起 is great! Sharing this MV version where the 2 possible candidates for kingship vie for survival (this is the stage we're watching right now):


Taiwanese version's theme song, 传说, by 林宥嘉&劉力揚, is also pretty good:

这里发现爱 OST

Nearly every drama serial I loved has a good OST. Shows need good songs to bring the audience into the mood. And the story will help bring out the essence of the song.

So though I wasn't expecting much from the OST, since didn't really like the show's starting song by F4, I got to notice this song played whenever the female leads were having a sad time with their love life:

I believe in Love, by WOW 头号人物



The MTV for the song itself is actually rather boring. It was much more touching to hear the song when you're watching the drama's love story unfold..........really heart melting!!!!!! Kinda wish I can make my own mtv from the drama scenes to show you what I mean!!!!

Surprisingly, the rest of the OST used for the show are not bad, rather suitable for the drama. Don't think it's good enough to listen on its own, but as the soundtrack it did a very good job, I thought!

Vic Chou's 白 was not bad too.......well, at least I noticed the song when watching the show. Don't think much of the singing, but the tune & lyrics did the show justice, touching enough for me to actually find out about the song. So I guess it's a 'success'. ;)
