Haha you were quick to decide!

The only place cheaper would be a Taiwan online music store...but then there's the shipping :thud

^ & I dunno Taiwanese. -__-

^Actually, in Taiwan they speak Mandarin.

Then I don't know Mandarin.

^It's actually a complicated language. I find Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese and Thai to all be hard languages to pronounce. Still, I'd like to learn Mandarin someday.
Just Japanese and Korean first.:P

I am so gonna order this album. :yes

The album is not called "vogueing" anymore...
Jolin was tired of the criticism made by the media, because they said in every article that "vogueing" doesn't exist, the title should have been "voguing".
They said too on the first promo pictures that she looked like Buzz Lightyear but that's another story XD
As a result the album seems to be called "Myself" now, preorders in Taiwan still begin tomorrow. Release date is still the same on the official site & sites like 5music, G-Music for the moment.
It seems to be true because "vogueing" (the name, not the album) has been removed from the news where they announced the album on Jolin's official site (same goes for album's info on 5music, YesAsia & G-Music).

Changes:
now it's written "JMODERN" on the headphone
http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/7541/18280650.jpg

Buzz Lightyear :roflmao omfg.

NEVER LOOK BACK

this is just only a statement they made?or is it a song name?so similar with someone's song :P

Looool wtf, they changed the design of the headphone again? xD

Or maybe there will be like, 3 versions of the headphone? xD

It's just a statement, not a song name XD

And I forgot to add this:
the 3 versions don't have a name anymore (who I am, what I want...), now they're just called version A, B & C.

I'm a bit sad cuz Vogueing had a meaning behind y'know... Myself means everything so it doesn't go on a direction...

^:yes I agree.

That's really weird cuz these titles could be the explanation of "Myself" => who i am, what i want...

oh.this is great XD
i want to buy the one with headphone but its way more expensive than i expected.i wish that it will be available in my country. :(

Well, you pay 34 euros for the version with the headphone.

Let's say the headphones are 20 euros (At the store where I work, we also sell headphones and those are around 20 euros). That means the album is 14 euros...

Which I find quite cheap (compare it to Japanese albums) ...
But then again, that's just me.

I'll shut up now. xD

I want trick of the beauty pv @_@

According to G-Music in the end it seems that the versions will keep their names...

thank god

Preorders in Taiwan are postponed to July 22nd.

Google Translation

I don't get that thing... I mean, I already preorder the album on YesAsia so the preorders are already open, aren't they ? Or maybe preorders have another meaning in Taiwan I don't know...

I think that date is for preorders in stores, but I'm not sure...

Oh okok :)

Now the headphones are interesting again. Do you think I can preorder it in two weeks? or will they be sold out by then?

ikr??? they look so cool now !!

Wow, poor Jolin lol. Buzz Lightyear...vogueing doesn't exist...:thud

its sad that she does not say "who cares?"
and the buzz lightyear thing is only because of TS3

I don't know why they're bothering her over an English word she wants to use for the album title. I see so many misspelled words and bad English grammar all the time in Asian music and then sometimes even English speaking artists purposely spell things wrong for their own personal reasons.

So the album is called "Myself" now? @.@ Ah, I prefered "Vogue" I didn't even know that it should have been called "Vogueing" I mean, that title is just ridiculous, I'm glad they changed it.

It's official now, the release date is not 08/03 anymore, but 08/10.
And we have the album CF


Album's title in Chinese is: 蔡依林Myself概念專輯2010 (Jolin, Myself concept album 2010)

I like the cm but it got pushed back? :(

The CM looks awesome.

Yes -_-
Before it was:
Preorders in Taiwan: from 07/20
Release date: 08/03

Now it's:
Preorders in Taiwan: from 07/22
Release date: 08/10

EDIT: Ze-Shan confirmed several tracks on his Weibo, so I think we can say that the tracklist posted earlier is official ^^ (Songs mentioned by him in bold)
According to what I understood, Small Wound & Effective Immediately are just destined to be sold digitally as ringtones (I'm not sure about this). So they're not meant to be in the album's main hits.

(10 tracks + 5 interludes)
01. 美人计 Trick of the Beauty
02. 玩爱之徒 Love's Pupil
03. 派大星 Patrick Star (This is the Chinese name for the starfish from Spongebob)
04. 无言以对 Speechless
05. 小伤口 Small Wound
06. 七上八下 Sixes and Sevens (Means to be in an unsettled state of mind)
07. 即时生效 Effective Immediately
08. 黑发尤物 Black Hair Stunner
09. 娘子汉 Lady Han
10. 解散爱 Dismiss Love

The CM is sooo cool! :D I'm glad I haven't heard any of those previews yet! :D

Looks Cool! Can't Wait!:D:D:D

I wanna have the headphones, but i wanan know if they have good quality in sound.

The CM looks really nice! :heart
That's also the scenery of the Trick of Beauty PV, right?

And we know now the (actual) reason for the album's name change. It's actually because of copyright issues. Warner wasn't allowed to use "VOGUE" or "vogueing". Jolin talked about it on her Twitter, she seemed a little bit disappointed about it (understandable).

Myself: new promo pics
http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4821/...d143580.th.jpghttp://img375.imageshack.us/img375/7...0fb3450.th.jpghttp://img210.imageshack.us/img210/6...97ddd8d.th.jpg

That reminds me of Lee Jung Hyun's song "Vogue Girl".

She was suppose to change the name into Vogue It Girl instead of Vogue Girl because Vogue Girl could also be associated with the magazine or the showercream/deo brand.
And I believe they also changed parts of the lyrics....

it's sad. :bsigh

Jolin is coming back to Taipei, she was in Beijing for Pepsi press conference.
Promo pics in better quality:

And today she promoted her new album in Show Luo's show:

Bigger cover (with "Myself" on it):

The bag's real nice. Just i already have a bunch of tote bags, and it doesn't have anything on it to make it identifiable to anyone who would know Jolin Tsai. I really want her to announce an edition with a DVD containing either PVs or concert footage.

Oh and i loved that video. The backgrounds and such on that show are real cool too. Could anybody translate what they're saying?

A friend of mine (A dancer) told me that he danced for a chinese female singer who shot a music video in China around 2 weeks ago he told me... He can't remember the name of the singer as he's french and the name was in Chinese but when he got selected, they told him that he had to be serious cuz that was a big deal in China... Jolin maybe, I don't know !?

I don't think so...
The only MV she shot in China was on July 12th according to the media.
And Trick of the Beauty MV was in Korea.
I wonder for which singer it was?

I'll try to get more information from him haha =D, I wanna know that singer :)

Ew, that orange wig is hideous on her! XD

I really dislike Jolin with short hair X_X

^:yes, I thought it was me.

Jolin promoted "Myself" in another show today!
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xe4oyg_myself-promo-ii_music

^looking good. Can somebody translate these?

Korean drama "You're Beautiful" (東森原來是 in Chinese) will be broadcasted in Taiwan from July 28th, and Effective Immediately is its theme song!



EDIT:
Trick of the Beauty is now available for download like Effective Immediately & Small Wound on China Mobile.
Somebody bought it there, it's 320 kbps (I don't know how to check this kind of stuff, but it seems to be true, the sound is very clear to me)!
Trick of the Beauty 320 kbps

I tried to make the tracklist in Pinyin:
01. 美人计 | Trick of the Beauty | Mei Ren Ji
02. 玩爱之徒 | Love's Pupil | Wan Ai Zhi Tu
03. 派大星 | Patrick Star | Pai Da Xing
04. 无言以对 | Speechless | Wu Yan Yi Dui
05. 小伤口 | Small Wound | Xiao Shang Kou
06. 七上八下 | Sixes and Sevens | Qi Shang Ba Xia
07. 即时生效 | Effective Immediately | Ji Shi Sheng Xiao
08. 黑发尤物 | Black Hair Stunner | Hei Fa You Wu
09. 娘子汉 | Lady Han | Niang Zi Han
10. 解散爱 | Dismiss Love | Jie San Ai

When Jolin heard the demo for Trick of the Beauty, she said that she wanted to vogue.

edit: And oh Luna! Maybe it would be better to put the tracklist on the first post as traditional chinese instead of simplified? I can already imagine a tagging nightmare :laugh

What do you mean? XD (I don't know at all the difference between simplified & traditional *cries*)

Jolin will be at "綜藝大國民" next week. This show will be broadcasted on July 31th! For those who don't know well her discography, she's singing in this teaser Marry me Today from Dancing Forever at the beginning, and A Wonder in Madrid from Dancing Diva near the end.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xe5bo6_teaser-jolin-tsai_music

I don't wanna nag or anything but when are they planning on giving us the covers.... :irked

We already have the cover XD
It will be the same cover for each version according to the official site...
It's this one:
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/796...76c638a.th.jpg

As for me I really want them to confirm the tracklist we have with the interludes & everything -_-

pommy,i think you can change them to traditional chinese using google translate XD
i guess many people abandon traditional chinese nowadays?

:thud You gotta be kidding me.......................

I think that's a beautiful cover.

I didn't say it wasn't beautiful, I just wish it was something different.
Like a different cover for each version.

I know, but at least the cover isn't horrible (and much better than the Butterfly ones imo).

Will they sell an autographed version =D ?

Yes, you have a point there :laugh

Maybe, but it won't be available before a while, since the autograph sessions will only begin after the album release this year.

Okok... two days left for the MV, right o___o ?
I WANT TI NOOOOOW

Trick of the Beauty sounds really cool. I'hope its not a cover...

By the way, I need to know something ! You know that teaser you posted, she's singing some old songs... Do you know when we'll get Trick Of The Beauty lives o_o ? I mean, around when...

No it's not, this album is cover song free ^^

I can't really answer because it's impossible to read her page for 2-3 days, I think Warner is updating it.
But I don't know, maybe in that show on July 31st she will sing new songs with these old ones?
Jolin never does a lot of TV lives, most of the time she sings her songs at concerts.
BTW I think she has several concerts already planned in August & September... I don't remember the dates XD

Oh okok, because I really want to see lives of TOTB <_<. Thanks !

On-Topic: i totally love all these promo pictures from everything Jolin's been doing. She looks great.

The MV pics look amazing! :heart
Can't wait to watch it!

the MV looks awesome.

I have a feeling this album will be up to the level of Dancing Diva :D

The MV looks awesome already ♥

omg~~ this outfit is soooo cool!!! I love her nails <3 & are those high heeled sneakers? :thud

I had hoped we would get different covers for the different versions too, I didn't know until now that luna clarified. Darn :grumpy. Anyways, the MV looks like it'll be really cool.

We still may get further editions later. I'm not interested in any they have now, so i hope they have others soon.

Ze-Shan confirmed on his Weibo that Trick of the Beauty MV will be available tomorrow at 9:10 a.m on 50 websites in the world simultaneously.

New pics & pics we had before in much bigger size:

MV story according to an article: Jolin plays a robot, bought by the male lead. He thinks he can control her but she has a soul.

Jolin said that she liked those sexy clothes, but there was no way she would wear this in real life XD

Damn it, she looks so sexy in that outfit o___o ! Need to see her VOGUEING !

thank you~!!:luv2:luv2 so~ beautiful...

Totally awesome! Can't wait for the MV. Thanks for the updates and more photos.

I want the MV! :strike

Ze-Shan said on his Weibo that the next song to be promoted was 玩爱之徒 (Love's Pupil).

And it's still a rumour, but 派大星 (Patrick Star) might be used in a new 7-11 campaign.

Myself sounds like an awesome album. LEAK ALREADY! lol. i wish.

She looks really nice, can't wait for the MV :D

Haha, so modest Jolin. She looks so great in the MV.

Trick Of The Beauty MV

Both the video and song are totally awesome!!

ahhhh, it's here~~ thank you for posting!!! i think it's great. the mv makes me love the song even more <3

^Same here. I also shared it up on my facebook too. :D

Can't wait to see and hear the rest of this album. It's turning out totally awesome!

wow! I'm blown away, AWESOME jolin!
