Hello guys! I'm Sayu from SAYULOG.
This time I'll present the "Sound Tripping Taipei" to you.
Taiwan has always been filled with wonderful music.
This time, we will explore the history and episodes of Taiwanese music while visiting spots that are closely related to it.
That is the singer, "Wen Hsia".
"Wen Hsia"?
That's right.
He's amazing.
He likes Japanese melody lines
because he learned songs in Japan.
He added Chinese lyrics to Japanese songs and made them songs for Taiwan.
There are many Taiwanese versions of Japanese songs.
The same melody. Different lyrics with the same melody?
That's right.
Do you have a lot of Enka? Yeah.
There aren't many new songs.
Because my mom doesn't know.
She won't sell anything that she doesn't know about.
Oh really!?
All the things you sell are recommended by owner, your mom, right?
That's right~!
My gyoza dumpling is popular in my neighborhood and they say "Your gyoza is delicious!"
A person said "If you sell gyoza, I'd come to buy it!", and then I started selling it.
Everyone said "delicious", and there were more and more customers, so I finally added it to the menu.
The skin is soft and chewy and tasty.
The inside is so full of meat! Look!
It's really delicious!
It's nice and spicy!
Our shop's name is "Record shop without new songs".
That's why we don't have new songs.
We have works that up to around 2000.
Most of them are from Taiwan. We also have Western and Asian works.
These works are almost the same generation as me.
Speaking of Taiwanese popular music,
the songs everyone was listening to in the 1970s-1990s (Republic of China 50-70s).
Customers are from new employees who just graduated to people who are in the '40s to '50s
who have a family or have children.
The songs in their youth.
Namie Amuro! (Japanese famous singer)
"SWEET 19 BLUES"!
My youth!!
Cassette tape! It's nostalgic.
Stefanie Sun.
Oh yeah! It's Stephanie Sun!
This year is the 20th anniversary of her debut.
Oh really!?
Wow, she is great!
I highly recommend this Diva in the '70s.
Louise Tsuei.
Her performances were very sexy and songs were lively, and the pace was often fast.
This is her work when I was young.
She's beautiful!
The rock by a female!
Her name is Julie Sue.
Since she came out, many female artists have sung rock.
She led the new rock style.
Female rock in the 1980s...
Is it the same generation as "Rebecca"? (Japanese Female Rock Band)
Yes, almost the same. Right?
(Costume is) black! black! black! black!
Wow, it's super cool!
That's right, she's a super cool singer.
This singer has been 33 years since his debut, and
his CD is still selling well every week at this shop.
...Every week!? Every week, somebody comes to buy them!
We have so many of his works here, and everybody buys different ones.
He is Dave Wang Chieh.
This is his first album, and after that, he had released one album half a year.
All of them were sold very well.
That's amazing. Each one is a wonderful song.
In Taiwan, he's also called "Prodigal son".
I don't know how can I say,
it's like "he's a lonely, provocative and the symbol of a changing world".
Maybe I got it, it's like Yutaka Ozaki?
Ah! It might be like that!
Taiwanese in the 1990s listened to Japanese songs as they were.
Those were overwhelmingly popular.
The days of Tetsuya Komuro were the hottest.
Of course, not only the Komuro-family but also the Dreams Come True is very famous in Taiwan!
I went to their concert! Really!?
I found it!
9m88
It's really great.
Her voice is deep, that's why I really like him.
9m88
I like their MVs.
Super cute.
I really love this one!
Native singer!
This album is awesome.
I highly recommend this "Goat".
A young hip-hop band.
And then, "It's Your Fault".
I wonder if it's a little bit closer to R&B. *Live video available in the second half of the video
You can listen to it while feeling calm.
The one that has been selling well these days is Leo Wang.
Leo Wang who won the gold song award in 2019?
It's super cool! "the Chicken lunchbox".
The most recommended in this year at our shop is Enno Cheng.
This is her first album.
It's a very old work.
Is it a reprint?
Yes.
This year's super recommended work in our shop! Recommended by WWR (White Wabbit Records)!
I recommend you.
This one! "Sweet 2020"
Dj Didilong.
He also makes MV, sounds, and produces.
I'm sure he used to provide music to other artists before.
Oh, I see.
And, Limi.
This jacket designed by a Taiwanese designer.
Limi, cute!
Wow! Here is their sign! We have many CDs signed by artists.
The CD design in Taiwan is really cute.
So?
Is it something different? Like that one,
I feel it's soft that the Taiwanese sense of using color.
What interesting in Taiwan is this one!
Is it divided by Bopomofo (a code unique to Taiwan)?
Bopomofo... Dutu... Nulu...
Each staff has different recommendations, so it might be good to ask!
And actually, it's the fastest to ask staff what you want to find.
That's right!
Good.
This Earl Gray Cake is delicious.
Delicious!
(Fruit jam) I heard it's handmade.
It's very fruity and not too sweet.
And it's very nice.
I took part in the live performances of the hottest artists this year!
