Lost Teresa Teng track unearthed in Tokyo warehouse to debut in June
TOKYO, April 12 — A long-lost song by Teresa Teng — the beloved Taiwanese pop icon who captivated Asia from the 1970s through the 1990s — has been unearthed in Japan and is finally set to see the light of day this June.
According to Kyodo News, the light-hearted pop tune, believed to have been recorded in the mid-1980s, was discovered a few years ago by a Universal Music staff member sorting through tapes in a Tokyo warehouse.
With no title on the original recording, long-time lyricist Toyohisa Araki — the man behind many of Teng's Japanese-language hits — later named it 'Love Song wa Yogiri ga Osuki', or 'Love Songs Like Fog at Night'.
The track was co-created with composer Takashi Miki, who died in 2009 and was known for shaping some of Teng's most memorable Japanese songs, including 'Toki no Nagare ni Mi wo Makase'.
Kyodo News added that the song will feature in a three-CD collection honouring Miki's legacy, scheduled for release on June 25.
The launch coincides with what would have been the late composer's 80th birthday, as well as the 30th anniversary of Teng's death in 1995, aged 42.
Hideto Hanabata, president of Soramusic Inc, which manages Miki's compositions, told Kyodo News he was 'deeply moved' that a newly discovered track will be included in the upcoming album.
A cultural icon across Asia, Teng recorded in multiple languages, including Mandarin, Japanese, English, Indonesian and even Italian. Her classics like 'The Moon Represents My Heart' and 'I Only Care About You' continue to resonate with fans decades on.
Now, 'Love Songs Like Fog at Night' will add a new note to her timeless legacy — a rediscovered piece of the past, ready to be heard for the first time.

Fuerza Regida on making history, performing in LA amid turmoil
Beyond hard work and humility, manifestation has been part of Fuerza Regida's recipe for success. Frontman Jesús "JOP" Ortiz Paz remembers watching "Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento" (the Latino version of "America's Got Talent") with his parents at home in San Bernardino, California, and saying, "I'm going to be on that TV. I'm going to be right there," he tells USA TODAY. "Ah, you're crazy," Paz, 28, says his parents responded. That was during a June 2023 interview with USA TODAY ahead of Fuerza Regida's sold-out show at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, part of their "Otra Peda" tour. Fast forward two years, and the band finds itself reaching new career heights. Fuerza Regida − Paz, along with Samuel Jáimez, Khrystian Ramos, José "Pelón" García and Moisés López − makes its historic debut at both New York's Madison Square Garden June 20 and LA's Hollywood Bowl June 21. They'll be performing their latest album, the 12-track "111XPANTIA," in its entirety. "Us bringing corridos to these venues, I'm pretty sure it's for the first time, so we're really happy that our genre is growing and growing," Paz says ahead of the shows. "We're excited, we've been breaking all these records and making history." Interview: Fuerza Regida on Mexican music going global and why they're the pioneers In May, the all-genre Billboard 200 album charts, saw for the first time Spanish-language albums in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots at the same time − Bad Bunny's "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" and Fuerza Regida's "111XPANTIA," respectively. More than that, it marked Fuerza Regida's highest-charting album to date, and the highest-charting Spanish-language album by a duo or group, or a regional Mexican music album, ever, according to Billboard. With nearly a decade in the industry under their belt, reaching the top of the charts isn't new territory for the group members anymore. Their 2023 album "Pa Las Baby's Y Belikeada" peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Latin Albums chart and reached the Top 15 of the Billboard 200, and also earned them a pair of awards — Top Duo/Group and Top Latin Duo/Group at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards. With 2024's "Pero No Te Enamores," the band's eighth studio album, Fuerza Regida dabbled in Jersey club music, reggaeton, hip-hop and bachata and embarked on a 76-date tour. Manifestation brought Fuerza Regida new album '111XPANTIA' to life Before Fuerza Regida made its mark in arenas and stadiums all over the United States and Latin America, the band was performing small gigs in backyards and at quinceñeras in 2016. Now, the band boasts numerous chart-topping albums, sold-out stadium and arena shows, multiple brand deals (including their latest partnership with Dos Equis for the Ni Perdón Ni Permiso campaign) and performances on late-night talk shows like "Jimmy Kimmel Live." In January, Paz became the first performer to bring regional Mexican music to Paris Men's Fashion Week during KidSuper's runway show ("It was my first time in Europe and we love fashion as well, so I was like a little kid at Toys 'R Us," Paz says). In 2018, he founded the independent record label Street Mob Records, which has signed other rising stars in the genre, including Chino Pacas, Calle 24, Clave Especial, and more. Still, Fuerza Regida keeps both feet planted on the ground. "We just keep on working hard, that's the key," Paz says. "We just act like we still haven't done anything − act like you haven't hit, act like you just started." López, who plays tololoche for the band, echoed a similar sentiment: "(We) stay working 24/7 and stay hungry," he says. "I've been saying that since I started my career, we work harder than a lot of other artists out there, and that's why I think we're more successful," Paz adds. "We don't just do the artist stuff. I also have my record label, and everything we have is because of all the hard work we've put in. So, of course, you gotta' have a little bit of talent, but the rest is all hard work." Paz and López also break down the meaning of the album's name, "111XPANTIA," which serves as a double entendre for manifestation. "111" is usually regarded as an "angel number" or a lucky sign whenever one comes across it, and "ixpantia" is the Nahuatl word for manifestation. "It was time to name an album that," Paz says. "Manifesting has been ever since I can remember. Everything I've wanted, I've almost got and the days go by, you want more things, you want better things for your family and better things for your business." The entire project is dedicated to the manifestation of dreams and constant hard work. It also marks a return to their corrido roots featuring stand-out tracks like "Peliculiando," "Por Esos Ojos," "Marlboro Rojo" and "Godfather." 'We've always fought for our music and our culture' In recent years, Latin musicians including Peso Pluma, Grupo Firme, Grupo Frontera, Junior H, Àngela Aguilar and Becky G have worked to put Mexican music, in all its variations, on the mainstream map. It's no longer just regional, as it's long been categorized in award show categories, but rather international and intentional. "We've just always fought for our music and our culture" to be respected like any other genre, Paz says. "It took a little longer for Mexican music," he adds. "Back in the day, Mexican music was just a little more in this bubble, and I feel like a couple years back, Fuerza Regida and a bunch of other pioneers − I don't want to just include myself − made this genre what it is now." Paz recognizes that many other bands and solo artists went through their own struggles and battles to be recognized, but now "we're accomplishing the goal of making our culture hit now." How Fuerza Regida shows up for the immigrant community during turmoil Although the show must go on, Fuerza Regida's Hollywood Bowl debut comes at a raw time in the city amid ongoing protests rejecting the continued presence of federal immigration enforcement. On June 10, Fuerza Regida shared a statement on Instagram, sending their "love and strength to our Latino community during this difficult time." "We've been deeply moved by the events of this past week," the band wrote. "These are our people, our fans, the very communities that inspire our music. We see your strength and resilience." Days later, they released limited-edition merch and 100% of profits from sales were donated to "support our communities impacted by the recent ICE raids," read the band's Instagram post. More: Jimmy Kimmel slams Trump, calls him 'arsonist with a hose' over ICE sweeps in LA This isn't the first time this year Fuerza Regida has put their money where their community is. Earlier this year, after Los Angeles was dealt another blow with the wildfires that ravaged the neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades and Altadena, the band helped provide shelter to 270 people. "Family is No. 1, and I feel like the way you're raised, it reflects a lot on how you're going to be and my parents raised me pretty well and taught me to always care about the community," Paz says. "If we're blessed, we gotta' share a little bit of the blessings."

I just saw one of my favorite movies in theaters for its 40th anniversary — but you can stream it for free right now
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When looking at the top movies to stream for free on Tubi last month, I noticed that the free streaming service had added "Ran" to its library, and it immediately caught my attention. For those who aren't familiar with this movie, it's the final epic from Akira Kurosawa, who, among other things, is notable for being a significant inspiration behind George Lucas' "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope." But the late, great Japanese filmmaker is famous in his own right, having written and directed acclaimed films such as "Seven Samurai," "The Hidden Fortress" (that's the one that inspired "Star Wars") and "Yojimbo." Go through the Wikipedia article for any of those movies (and "Ran") and you'll see words like "significant influence" and "greatest and most influential films in cinema history." "Ran" remains my favorite Kurosawa film, though, even 40 years after its original theatrical release. I first watched it when I was a kid — it was probably the first foreign-language movie I ever watched — and when I saw it was on Tubi for free, I got ready to hit play again. But then I got an email telling me that "Ran" was being restored in 4K for its 40th anniversary. Even better, it was coming to my local independent theater. So, of course, I bought a ticket. "Ran" is a visual masterpiece, expertly creating vivid battle scenes of epic proportions, loaded with color. I wasn't going to miss a chance to see it in theaters — and having now seen the 4K restoration for myself, you shouldn't either. "Ran" is loosely an adaptation of William Shakespeare's "King Lear." In that play, the elderly King Lear divides his country between his three daughters, a decision that leads to him disowning one daughter before being outcast by his remaining daughters and wandering the country as a madman as his daughters fight over his lands. Kurosawa's adaptation holds pretty true to that general plotline. But he chooses to set it in a fictional version of Japan, based on 16th-century Sengoku period Japan. If that sounds familiar to you, that's also when "Shogun" is set, and you can feel shades of FX's hit period drama when watching "Ran." I'd be shocked if the show didn't draw some inspiration from this movie, even though it's directly based on an existing miniseries that predates "Ran" by five years. The historical drama epic stars Tatsuya Nakadai as the aged warlord Hidetora Ichimonji, who, like Lear, divides his lands between his three sons: Taro (Akira Terao), Jiro (Jinpachi Nezu) and Saburo (Daisuke Ryu). Like in the Shakespeare play, the third child refuses to accept this gift with the appropriate level of flattery, and Hidetora disowns him. Based on what I've already told you about "King Lear," you can guess how it goes from there. Now, I don't want to spoil much beyond that, because I want you to go see the original version on Tubi or the 4K restoration in theaters once you're done reading this article. But I will mention that, while the story is compelling enough to hold you're attention, it's the visuals of this movie that make it one of the greatest films ever made. Specifically, there are a few battle sequences sprinkled throughout the movie that are spectacular in every sense of the word. The first such battle sequence takes place at one of Hidetora's many castles, and has two of the brothers' armies assembled outside trying to breach it. At the beginning of the film, when we meet Hidetora and his sons, the sons are each wearing a primary color for their outfit: yellow (Taro), red (Jiro) and blue (Saburo). When they fight, their armies also follow this color scheme, and so in this first battle, we get a sea of yellow and a sea of red meeting in front of this imposing castle. The castle, surrounding lands and even skies are all dreary hues, and it makes the soldiers and their armor pop visually in a truly stunning way. Especially in the 4K restoration. The good news is that this visual experience still comes through in the original version of the film on Tubi. The only thing that doesn't quite hit in the same way is the sound of the film, which is immense at times in the theater. You'd want a decent sound setup to get a similar experience at home. I use a Sonos Arc Ultra, which is our top-rated pick for the best soundbars you can buy right now, and it's plenty satisfying. But the Sonos Beam (Gen 1) I use in my office is also plenty good. So, whether you see it in all its glory on the big screen or opt to watch it at home on Tubi, make sure to check out "Ran" now for its 40th anniversary. There's never been a better time to experience one of the greatest movies ever made. Stream the original version of 'Ran' free on Tubi now or check out the 4K restoration at your local theater Tom Hardy's 'MobLand' just wrapped up with a stunning finale — and I can't wait for a season 2 'Hacks' shocking season 4 finale has me hopeful season 5 could be the show's best yet — here's why 'The Last of Us' season 2 finale live — reactions, who survived, recap and more

Berlin Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 20, 2025, 20:05 IST The Money Heist prequel series Berlin has captured audiences worldwide with its thrilling heists and complex characters. After a successful first season, fans are eagerly awaiting Berlin Season 2. In this article, we dive into the latest updates on the release date, cast, plot details, and more. Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming season of this Spanish-language hit on Netflix. Berlin Season 2 Release Date Speculation Netflix gave the green light for Season 2, and cameras started rolling in January 2025. But they're keeping tight-lipped about the exact premiere date. Based on how Netflix usually handles these things—filming, editing, and getting dubs ready for viewers worldwide—we're probably looking at late 2025 or maybe early 2026. Some fans are crossing their fingers for a December 2025 release, since Season 1 hit around Christmas 2023 and did huge numbers. Others think spring 2026 is more realistic because they're shooting in a bunch of Spanish cities, which could take time. Berlin Season 2 Expected Cast The core cast from Season 1 is set to return, with Pedro Alonso reprising his iconic role as Andrés de Fonollosa, aka Berlin. The charming yet cunning heist leader will once again drive the story. Joining him are: Michelle Jenner as Keila, the cybersecurity expert. Tristán Ulloa as Damián, Berlin's close friend and engineer. Begoña Vargas as Cameron, the unpredictable risk-taker. Julio Peña Fernández as Roi, the loyal locksmith. Joel Sánchez as Bruce, the weapons specialist. New cast members will bring fresh dynamics to the crew. Confirmed additions include: Inma Cuesta as Candela, a fiery Seville local described as unpredictable. José Luis García-Pérez as the Duke of Málaga, Álvaro Hermoso de Medina, a charismatic figure. Marta Nieto as Gonoveva Dante, the Duke's wife, adding tension to the group. Berlin Season 2 Potential Plot Berlin Season 2 will continue its heist-per-season format, with the action shifting from Paris to Spain. The new heist will take place in Seville, promising high-stakes thrills against a vibrant Spanish backdrop. Filming in iconic cities like Madrid, Seville, and San Sebastián suggests a visually stunning season with a fresh European flair. Where to Catch Berlin Season 2 When it drops, Berlin Season 2 will be on Netflix, with subs and dubs for everyone. If you haven't seen Season 1 yet, it's eight episodes, perfect for a weekend binge.
