Thanks for sharing! This song is really good! It's a ballad, so we don't have to worry about all the songs being so youthful on the album. It's so heartbreaking to hear this though. 'I Really Want To Love Him' is better than any of the previous three songs. Highly recommended! I'm looking forward to the MV as well. I read that they will be inviting the same guy from 'Starlight Amusement Park' as the male lead for this MV; the MV will talk about Charlene falling in love with him, yet he loves Gillian instead. After Gillian found out Charlene's pain, she painfully decides to end her relationship with him because she feels her friendship weighs more toward her. This is a MV to look forward to!
Interesting plot.....but I wonder would it be as interesting as it sounds...especially when it's a triangle with Twins...
I think the guy from "Starlight Amusement Park" is kind of cute. I was hoping he would have some scenes with Gillian, alone but not a chance....Charlene definitely had much more time in that MV with her solo scenes with the guy! I wonder if the guy and Gillian would have a lot of chemistry?! When I watched the MV, I wanted the guy to be with Gillian...lolx..probably have something to do with the fact that I want Gillian to have a "partner" too but I think if they were together it would have looked cute.
Even though if there wasn't (isn't going to have) many scenes of Gillian and the guy, if they have chemistry, it's going to show! Like Edison, my friend (not chinese or know Twins) watched "Twins Effect" and she thought Gillian would have looked better with Edison then with Charlene. I don't think Gillian had any solo scenes with Edison..maybe just one or two extremely short scenes....I'm sure no one is going to believe me...

As for the solos, I suppose we don't have to be too grim on them. I have no complain on the lyrics since they're both nicely written by the same lyricist. It's just that Charlene's solo's lyrics look more in depth using lots of words that describe how painful is meant, and Gillian's solo was put together using simple and straightforward words. But I'd say this is because of the different topic. Gillian's solo is referring to a determined girl who is giving attempts to forget her boyfriend and is moving on so that's why the lyrics are so carefree while Charlene's solo refers to a girl who can't seem to let go of the relationship and still dwelling on her boyfriend, therefore using the painful words. An article mentioned that they assigned the solos by the characteristics of each of Charlene's and Gillian's voices, so perhaps the solos will suit them? Or else it woudl be the production crew doing another bad job with each of their abilities.
The article expressed that Gillian's solo is an interesting production/collabration between 呂紹淳(Composer) and 何啟弘(Lyricist), but I'm not sure what 'interesting' means to them, but they didn't give any descriptions about Charlene's solo; they just said that her solo is produced by 伍仲橫(Composer) and 何啟弘(Lyricist). From looking at lyrics, it still looks like Gillian's solo can be sang fast or slow; Charlene's solo mainly looks like it's sang slow.
I quite like Gillian's song, at least the lyrics after reading the translation. I just hope the music is going to be just as good unlike the songs that had been released so far.... The lyrics are pretty unique in a way. Like the "Monday..Tuesday.." I can't wait to hear how it turns out. Glad it's only going to be one week or so more before it releases!
When they said according to ability, I automatically thought about Gillian singing a ballad while Charlene singing a fast song...

Gillian was wearing jeans @ the 3rd Annual Music King Award. This time I actually like Charlene's hair better. And this time Gillian does look like she got skinny her stomache don't show anymore. Lol. And I like her outfit too.

Hm..the MV is quite interesting. So the guy ends up with Charlene again? Aww Gillie get's no love in any kind of MV but of course besides "Rumours"
Thanks for sharing the pictures!!
Gillian looks great in jeans! I love her outfit and hairstyle and all but not her shirt. The dressy part...if that bottom part was not there, I would have love it more. I also really like Charlene's outfit. So pretty! Their fashions are getting better

It's only an audio clip. You didn't hear Gillian? Perhaps because Gillian is singing quite softly yet so soothing. Sa begins the song then at 17 seconds is where Gillian comes in singing her solo verse, 35-51 seconds is where Sa sings the chorus alone and then at 52-1:08 seconds is when Gillian sings the other portion of the chorus solo and then the same pattern of taking turns singing between Twins continues until the very ending verse, Twins only share one verse together at the end. Well, this is what I heard so I'm not quite sure I'm being very accurate since there were a lot of noise in the background making it difficult to hear. I like this song.
Really?? I thought Gillian started out the song. It sounded so much like Gillian's voice in the beginning. I should listen to it carefully again because I really thought Gillian sang first...hmm...but then the background sounds were so loud, it's hard to listen to....
Edit: Nvm..does sound like Charlene started first...lolx...

yea i also think that for gillian's solo mv (if any), it would be great if gillian had a different outfit for each day, maybe even a different hairstyle. x] and different guys too.... lol just kidding. x] but yea, if only eeg had a suggestion box. x.
LOL...Different guys...Paradise! I like your idea for Gillian's MV..wouldn't it be nice to see Gillian changing so much outfits in one MV...better yet, demonstrate all the different styles she could be wearing

[color=#000000][font=Verdana]I somehow think the screentime will favour Charlene more as well. According to the article I was reading, Charlene has many emotional/painful scenes in this MV, so I'm afraid that what you described will actually happen. Gillian may end up being the one with the least screentime between the three. Charlene will have the most because she'll probably have many solo scenes with the description of her emotions. The guy will have decent screentime because they'll have scenes of how Charlene met him when he helped her find her dog, and I'm guessing they'll have some scenes where they hang around together so Charlene could fantasize about him. Then Gillian will come out as the girlfriend which destroys any hope of Charlene's, and by then, it'll be towards the end of the MV, so we'll see Gillian breaking up with him walking away sadly, and she makes up with Charlene. End of story.
Wow...from that description, you already might pity Charlene's character a little more even thought both shares a lot of pain because of the guy. Especially the screentime, sometimes it helps the character gain more sympathy...Like the "Lady in a Perplexed World" Charlene's character was so pitiful and by the guy's side all the while, while Gillian was no where in site and when Gillian did appear, it wasn't such a pretty scene where she ruined the shop

I don't think they made mistakes because the song is getting deleted from the Taiwanese version because of the vulgar language. Personally, I don't think it'd matter too much with the word 'b!tch' in the song because how many people in Taiwan/Mainland or even part of HK will know that it's a word of profanity? In the chinese forums, no one saw a problem with it; some people even asked what it meant. The big deal about this is because it's Twins who are singing this song. Twins, idol of all ages. It may be a bad influence to small children if they try singing along with the song. It doesn't matter with HK because it's not like HK people don't use profanity, but they use it in chinese that is. The lyrics do make sense, but I'd say it isn't totally neccessary; the lyricist could've easily found alternatives for that part, or does she just want to have it appear out of the ordinary?
So...does that mean the song won't be released or just not Mainland and Taiwan? I kind of wanted to hear the song. I wonder who would be singing that part of the song? I think I read in a eariler post that Gillian is singing that part or did I misread it??

Anyway, I just read from the news that '49 Days' is entered in the Grand Prix Award 2006! The producer of this film is very thrilled to see that the first film produced by his company is making another achievement by being selected to enter a film festival overseas. He expressed that if the cast has time, he will invite them to fly over to Japan for further promotions.
That's great news!!

[font=Verdana]I've decided to translate some of the lyrics of the upcoming album for those who want a better understanding of the lyrics. It also helps me to understand the lyrics more since thinking is actually needed to translate.
EDIT:
After translating, I feel that Gillian's solo, 'Which Day is it Today?', gives me the same feeling as Hilary Duff's 'So Yesterday'. It's like how the girl doesn't want to dwell on a relationship anymore, so she decides to forget about it through each day of the week. Perhaps the style will be like that as well? Maybe it's a song that has a faster pace but not with a weird tone like 'Transformation Party'?
'Black Box' sounds like a contradicting girl, or more like a hypocrite, because she's getting angry and blowing up when her boyfriend goes through her secrets, yet she's doing the same thing with her boyfriend's secrets. It simply sounds like a girl with a blow-up attitude.
'I Really Want To Love Him' is nicely arranged because the lyrics are actually written to have two girls expressing their role in the relationship. Neither of the girls are experiencing more or less pain than the other. Charlene isn't able to love a guy that she loves because he is her friend's boyfriend, yet Gillian doesn't have any better of an experience because she knows that Charlene does have an impact on her relationship with her boyfriend.
I feel that 'You are the Bravest' is going to be a ballad too. The lyrics of this song are so bittersweet. A girl's boyfriend has left her to make his dreams come true, but the girl doesn't utter a word of complaint but instead gives full support to him and waits for him to come back.
~
Which Day is it Today?
Singer: Gillian Chung
Composer: Lui Siu Sun
Lyricist: Ho Kai Wang
Monday: Get rid of the habit of waiting for your phonecalls
Tuesday: Deliberately mess up the hairstyle you love.
Wednesday: Take care of the broken heart, and don't be affected by tears anymore.
Thursday: I'm halfway of being successful of forgetting about you.
Friday: Manipulate myself to believing I can actually be this brave.
Saturday: Change all the locks and switches of my house.
Sunday: Go shopping to buy cosmetics, and use a good mood to pay the bills.
Now I've discovered that letting go of the accumulated love is not hard at all.
All the sweet words and honeyed phrases has too high of calories;
it has gotten to the point of where I can't take it anymore.
Why don't I just change into a smiling face and go out to relax?
The solemn pledge of eternal love has too high of a risk.
It's only that there are people spreading rumours.
The love you give only hobbles;
it's not trendy enough and much too old-fashioned.
Thanks for translating!!
If Gillian's song is going to sound like Hilliary Duff's song, I think I would like it. I liked that song. The melody was really nice. All these songs are about love and heartbreaks
Edit: Forgot to say..JJ Lin composed the song for "I Really Want to Love Him"?! That's why I especially love the song. I love listening to JJ...lolx
