Since the mid-1990s, Taiwan’s unique brand of Mandopop (華語流行音樂; Huá Yǔ Liú Xíng Yīn Yuè) has dictated the musical tastes of the mainland and the rest of Chinese-speaking Asia. This title explores Mandopop’s surprisingly complex cultural implications in Taiwan and the PRC, where it has established new gender roles and created a vocabulary to express individualism.

Mandopop singers:

Jolin Tsai 蔡依林:愈慢愈美麗 see her Live
Theresa Teng 鄧麗君: 月亮代表我的心
Wang Leehom王力宏: 你不知道的事see him Live
Jay Chou 周杰倫:  爺爺泡的茶
Richie Ren 任賢齊:  對面的女孩看過來
A Mei 張惠妹: 如果你也{聽說}
Zhang Liangying 张靓颖: 我们说好的
Stefanie Sun 孫燕姿: 遇見
David Tao 陶喆:  飛機場的10:30 see him Live
Power Station 動力火車:  那就這樣吧

    LET’S PLAY LYRICS
    “我在这里发现你在五彩光芒褪色时下一曲舞蹈在黎明前黄金铺…”

    我在这里发现你
    在五彩光芒褪色时
    下一曲舞蹈在黎明前
    黄金铺满了夜晚

    你发现了新的孤独
    爆炸在舞台的灯光里
    爱你比恨你更可怕
    跳舞的人大声对我说

    Let’s play 未来总是未知
    Let’s play 未来总是未知的游戏
    Let’s play Play the rock
    Let’s play 我看见脑海里的光
    Oh Led 跳霹雳 跳你的世界不停息

    “我在这里发现你在五彩光芒褪色时下一曲舞蹈在黎明前黄金铺…”

    我在这里发现你
    在五彩光芒褪色时
    下一曲舞蹈在黎明前
    黄金铺满了夜晚

    你发现了新的孤独
    爆炸在舞台的灯光里
    爱你比恨你更可怕
    跳舞的人大声对我说

    Let’s play 未来总是未知
    Let’s play 未来总是未知的游戏
    Let’s play Play the rock

    飛輪海的團名是華氏溫度的德文原文「Fahrenheit」的音譯,意指「飛輪海」四位成員不同的溫度。「飛輪海」彷佛是由春、夏、秋、冬組成的團體,也一如四季有溫暖、炎熱、涼爽、酷冷的氣候。四位成員中,辰亦儒代表溫暖的春天;汪東城代表炎熱的夏天;來自汶萊的吳尊代表涼爽的秋天;炎亞綸則代表酷冷的冬天。
