Unreleased song to mark singer's death anniversary

The Star10-05-2025

AN unreleased song by legendary singer Teresa Teng would be launched next month to mark the 30th anniversary of her death, Nanyang Siang Pau reported.
The announcement was made by Teng's brother, Frank Teng Chang-fu, at a special commemorative concert in Taiwan.
He said the family had gone to great lengths to secure the rights to the Japanese track, literally translated as 'Romance Song Loves the Foggy Night', as the original songwriters had died.
Frank also shared that his sister cherished every song she performed, with her favourite being the Japanese hit Toki no Nagare ni Mi o Makase (Give Yourself to the Flow of Time), released in 1986, which helped her gain popularity in Japan.
The Chinese version of the song, Wo Zhi Zai Hu Ni (I Only Care About You), was released the following year.
Throughout her career, Teng recorded more than 1,700 songs in various languages.
She died on May 8, 1995 in Thailand. She was 42.
> Major Chinese dailies reported that a television drama, based on the award-winning novel The Age of Goodbyes by Malaysian author Li Zi Shu, would begin filming in July.
The entire filming process will take place in Malaysia.
Set against the backdrop of Ipoh, the novel follows the life of a blind woman, Yin Xia, chronicling her journey alongside childhood friends over several decades.
It was reported that the production team from China spent two years developing the script before preparing to film last year.
The drama will feature 20 episodes and is expected to air in August 2026.

Japan's 400,000-follower ‘Insta-gran' dies aged 97

Kimiko Nishimoto, who died this week at the age of 97, told AFP in a 2018 interview that 'you can take photos no matter how old you get'. TOKYO: A Japanese great-grandmother with 400,000 Instagram followers who shot to fame for her goofy self-portraits after taking up photography aged 72 has died, her son said on Thursday. Kimiko Nishimoto, who died this week at the age of 97, told AFP in a 2018 interview that 'you can take photos no matter how old you get'. 'Wherever it is, in your house, outside, or in your bed, you can do it. That is the nice thing about a camera,' she said. Dubbed the 'selfie queen' by Japanese media, Nishimoto's posts showed her in various candid poses -- from riding a broom like Harry Potter to imitating an off-duty sumo wrestler on their fifth beer of the night. 'Our mother always created her work with a smile,' a post from her son Kazutami Nishimoto said on her Instagram account. 'We are deeply grateful to everyone who visited her photography exhibitions held across the country, to those who shared warm words of encouragement through Instagram... and to all who supported her warmly throughout her journey.' Nishimoto's son teaches photography classes, which his mother started taking in retirement. 'Though she began photography at the age of 72, she was blessed with countless encounters, which enriched this third chapter of her life tremendously,' he said. Nishimoto appeared on national television as her online following grew and was interviewed by major news outlets. But her more out-there visual scenarios were also the cause of some confusion over the years. One snap -- showing her wrapped in a garbage bag, as if she had been discarded -- drew criticism from people who didn't know she was involved in its set-up. 'It's not like ideas just suddenly pop into my head but wherever I go I think about what it would be fun to dress up as in that place,' she said in 2018.

Chinese Woman Arrested After Attempting To Break Into BTS' Jungkook's Home

It's only been a day since BTS (방탄소년단) member Jungkook (정국) returned from his military service. However, there has already been a serious invasion of his privacy. Earlier today, news outlets reported that a woman had allegedly attempted to break into the idol's home. According to news reports, Yongsan Police officers have arrested a Chinese woman in her 30s for attempting to trespass on Jungkook's residence in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The incident occurred on the night of 11th June 2025 (Wednesday), at around 11:20pm. Police were called to the scene after neighbours caught the woman pressing the electronic keylock on the door, likely attempting to enter the premises. It's unknown whether Jungkook was at the residence during the incident. However, after her arrest, the woman revealed she came to Korea to see Jungkook following his army discharge. The police are investigating the specific circumstances of the incident. Jungkook's label, HYBE, has commented on the situation but said, 'It's difficult to provide detailed information on the situation as the police are currently investigating the situation.' Meanwhile, ARMYs online have shared their reaction to the news, mostly expressing shock over the situation. Many criticised the woman's action, hoping she'd receive appropriate punishment for attempted trespassing. Others lamented the extreme situation with BTS' stalkers, or sasaengs, urging HYBE to protect their artists. Some also said that the singer has only returned from the military for a day, but already has to deal with stalkers. This case isn't the only issue surrounding BTS' recent military discharge. After RM (알앰), V (뷔), Jimin (지민) and Jungkook completed their military service, roughly 1,500 ARMYs flocked to the HYBE building in Seoul to celebrate the occasion. However, the move sparked a backlash as the large crowd could cause traffic disruptions and possible accidents. In response, Jimin shared a post on the Weverse platform, asking the fans not to gather near the building. While we understand the fans' wishes to meet the BTS members, we hope they can respect the idols' wishes not to gather in front of the HYBE building. As for the break-in case, we hope the perpetrator will receive the appropriate punishment. What are your thoughts on this?
