Only translations for PLAY, Phony Queen and The Third Person And I are available at the moment. You can find them on my blog.

EDIT
from a recent interview:
- about the regular version cover: Jolin chose yellow since the color is like the sun, warm and powerful. And basically she chose black because she likes the color.

- about the collaboration with Namie Amuro, Jolin is asked if there is a secret rivalry between the two of them: Jolin says that there is no secret rivalry, on the contrary for a collaboration what she's looking for is a true cooperation, solidarity and strength. Jolin likes Namie and thinks she has an amazing stage presence. Unfortunately they were not able to talk much to each other since they were talking with the help of a translator, but Namie enjoyed the MV shooting and felt welcomed by Jolin's team.

- With PLAY she wanted to create a positive, dynamic and happy album. She feels that her "mission" is to convey positive energy to everyone. Everyone is free to interpret her work and her shows the way they want to though.

- about the fact that this time she has "funny performances" (PLAY & Phony Queen MVs). Jolin says that she's a very private person and that she's not very funny actually IRL. She loves to laugh though lol

LoL, every time I hear Play I think she's saying in the chorus, "I fart, I fart". Ahahaha.

G-Music is not really relevant anymore. All their stores are closing down in Taiwan, they're going bankrupt according to what I've read here and there. And the fishy thing is that they put Jolin at 40% in the first place and then a few hours later they changed the ranking at less than 20%...

5music is the most relevant nowadays though and she did better than for MUSE for her first week! She also ranked first on more than 120 Asian charts (most of them being Taiwanese ones) so I wouldn't be too worried about PLAY's sales in Taiwan. We won't know for sure before the end of the year of course.

She also has more promotion than ever for this album, and PLAY (song + album), The Third Person And I and I'm Not Yours are doing well digitally in Taiwan.

Medusa MV!

it is her great MV but cannot make me Wow about it. I admit i expect Medusa more than Play because i prefer this song, finally it is just ok for me. In my opinion, it takes a lot of idea from Beast mv, obviously graphics, also butterflies in my Stomach that make it repeative MV. Moreover, her dancing can't amaze me like while i watched "Dancing Diva", "Honey Trap" and "Butterflies in my stomach". This also happens with "Great Artist" and "Play" that i think she gives standardly dance even if Medusa's chreography is fit its song, maybe her age a reason 555

OMG that was you who left the comment on my page! I didn't know you were following

I'll copy-paste what I answered you there then lol

I agree about the Beast MV part. Some parts of this MV reminded me of it lol But I don't think it takes ideas from Butterflies in my stomach. Butterflies in my stomach was just a "dance" MV, and this kind of MV is very common.
About the choreo part, I don't think it has anything to do with her age... Jolin stated that this time she wanted to focus more on the vocal performance and less on "stunts". I guess that's why she's providing more "simple" choreos.
By the way, Medusa's choreographer, Parris Goebel, has also created The Great Artist, Phony Queen and PLAY's choreos! It seems that her choreographies are not your thing lol
As for me I actually like PLAY and Medusa choreographies, I think they're fitting the songs very well.

I admit it could be better but it's still good. The song is epic too
