No news yet about release of new album but David has a new song which he sang during March 30 fan meet in Xi'an, China . Chinese name is 一念之间 and english name is probably Say Goodbye. It's a lovely old-fashioned song with excellent lyrics written by DT's longtime lyrist WaWa. He sang it live of cos:
一念之间
你是怎么做到的,我不是你要的爱 。
你是怎么想象的,关于你们的未来。
如果我怀疑幸福不会一直存在,
请告诉我怎么做才得到爱。
你会为爱说什么,当做永恒的承诺。
你以前为爱Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7523017.post-68893561806462545752013-01-02T02:10:00.001+08:002013-01-02T02:10:58.350+08:00DT ushering in 2013
David ushering in 2013 in Kaohsiung Taiwan. He sang his evergreens including Airport in 10.30 with a live band. Then there was a whole segment where he sang his famous love songs with 30 pairs of newly-weds on stage. It was quite surreal but still DT took it in good stride. Here's the obligatory youtube:

Their voices blended well & they have nice chemistry. They both have vry dulcet voices esp Cher who at times sounded almost operatic like the soprano Sarah Brightman & yet they are able to rap.

It was also the theme song for a Japanese TV series called Hi Wa Mata Noboru aka The Sun Also Rises which of cos has nothing at all to do with Ernest Hemingway to add to the confusion.

Atsushi (why is this guy's name always in caps?) did not write the melody, only the lyrics. The melody was written by a duo, Matthew Tishler & Andrew Ang.

OK fear not, Atsushi is not flying solo but his solo album will be included in the release of EXILE's new album in Jan 2012.
