babysister

In the new Baby Sister MV, the 2009 Super Girls reunite once again to "jiayou" for their new shimei's.

As the latest season of Super Girls begins, the last season’s top 10 welcomes them with a new MV. The song is written by Zeng Yike, and describes the common dream of music  between the older shijie‘s and their baby sister shimei‘s of eeMedia. One of the cutest things about the 2009 girls were their friendship, and their have been several weibo updates of the girls meeting up since then. More pretty pictures of the girls below the cut.

Pan Chen Begins Her “Own Way” with Debut EP

Picture From the Photo Diary. For more gorgeous pictures see below.

Although Pan Chen‘s debut EP “On My Way” has only four songs on it, it took a year to prepare with an exceptional music team. Each song is to represent a season and a different stage in love. Her first single, Blossoming Love (绽放爱) represents spring. The EP also includes a photo diary, with beautiful pictures from Pan Chen’s journey in the past year.

One of the ten finalists of the Supergirls 2009 contest last year, Pan Chen was handpicked by Jane Zhang to be signed into her own, newly founded company, Show City Times. She is the third artist to be managed by Jane, apart from Jane herself and friend Wang Zhengliang. However, Wang already had a stable fanbase and wrote his own songs. This EP marks not only a new phase in Pan Chen’s life, but also Jane’s, testing her ability to find the best production crew for, and promote her young artist. It remains to be seen whether Pan Chen can successfully fulfill her dream of being a singer, and Jane’s dream of helping aspiring young singers reach their goal, but where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Super Girl Pan Chen debuts with Show City Times

2744c81124769f3ebb127b75

Jane Zhang and Show City Times recently announced that Pan Chen will soon be under Show City Times management, with the signing ceremony coming soon. Pan Chen’s first project under her new company was to film the MV’s for Jane Zhang’s “If this is love” and “it’s alright” alongside Joseph Chang. The official announcement came out on April 2nd on Show City Time’s website.

Jane said that they chose to sign with Pan Chen because she ” haven’t seen a female artist with such great looks and talents in a long time. She’s a real “talented idol.” Not only does she have potential in music, but also acting, and is an all-around artist.” The Show City Times article also said that Pan Chen will soon release a single under the company, which will be her second solo single after “No Big Deal” in the Super Girls’ Cover Girls album.

Although born and grown up Shanghainese (and with a definitely Shanghainese sassy and cosmopolitan attitude) , Pan Chen graduated from the Beijing EMG School (Top Combine’s Li Mao, Blue Bird Flying Fish, etc.). Before finally getting her break through being in the top 10 of Super Girls, Pan Chen was a flat media model and joined various talent competitions. She plays both the piano and the guitar.

Going on Vacation (Kind Of)

December 22, 2009 | Posted in Mainland China,Super Girls 2009,Television, Tagged , ,

Li Yuanxi, Pan Chen and Liu Xijun in China's coastal city Sanya

This week I’ll be in and out, intermittently, and idarklight will be going to China soon as well for a month. Even when she’s  not posting, she does a lot of stuff behind the scenes so don’t be surprised if the site falls into the crapper when she’s gone.

However idarklight will still be posting some things before she’s gone, including the big Chinese ethnic minorities in Chinese entertainment post (including Han Geng) so please be on the lookout for it. Otherwise, just talk amongst yourself and keep everything civil.

Jane Zhang's new song and random news

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfcCb37lxC4]

While Jane’s busy doing various things (she’s in Tokyo right now?), her company Show City Times is releasing its first album for Super Boy Wang Zhengliang late this month. Not a big fan of him, but he’s from our favorite Music Conservatory and has a good voice.

More interestingly, Super Girl Pan Chen is joining Show City soon. It’s uncertain she’ll sign a record or management contract, but at least we know she’s not in the girl group.

Yu Kewei was a little faster and signed record contracts with Rock Records this week. She was promised an album in 100 days, which means she’ll probably be the second 2009 Super Girl to release a new album. Listen to a new song by the first album releaser Zeng Yike here.

A day later, Li Yuchun also signed with Rock Records for releases outside of mainland. Does that make Yu Kewei her elder? Her latest album “Li Yuchun” will be released in Taiwan late this month. Her second self-composed/written/directed MV has also been released.

New eeMedia Family Winter MV being made

Like last year, eeMedia’s filming a year-end MV although this time it’s only with Yu Haoming, Wang Yuexin(!), Top Combine and Pan Chen and Pan Hongyue. But that doesn’t mean the behind the scenes pictures are any less fun to look at. I think I gained like five new ships. They even have me shipping Wang Yuexin/Pan Chen now. Madness. Sorry for the lack of Jin Ensheng and Zhang Yuan, hopefully other pictures will come out soon.

And slightly related if you want to watch:  Top Combine MV Teaser came out.

More Music News and Announcements

Li Xijun and Yu Haoming on the set of Yu Haoming's new MV filming...not sure why, but they're so cute together

The bad news is that Xue Zhiqian‘s upcoming album is actually a compilation album. Which means Incomplete Song and My Athena are the only new tracks, whereas the 12 other tracks are old. But for him it’s probably better that he doesn’t put out all that effort into composing for an actual album.

Because there’s too many new releases and too much competition.
