Armless Pianist, Liu Wei win 'China's Got Talent'

Armless Pianist, Liu Wei has not been held back by the lack of hands and arms. He plays piano, and quite well, with his toes. Liu Wei took China by storm, winning China's Got Talent, and now he is quickly becoming an international phenomenon.

Liu Wei, the 23-year-old armless pianist performs with his toes, won the reality show by singing James Blunt's song "You're Beautiful" and accompanying himself on the piano. Oh, by the way, Liu Wei can sing, too. He beat out a 7 year-old stand-up comic to win the competition.

Liu Wei lost his arms when he was just 10. He accidentally touched a high-voltage wire while playing with friends. By the age of 18, he had started playing piano with his toes. Liu Wei is a self-taught pianist.

"China's Got Talent" is a spin-off of the popular British show, "Britain's Got Talent" which was developed by Simon Cowell. It was BGT that brought us Susan Boyle. Now we have a Liu Wei, taking the world by storm, making great music, with his feet!

Jay Chou and A*Mei romance rumours

Are Jay Chou and A*Mei seeing each other?

The duo was spotted on board a China Southern Airlines flight last week, leaning closely to each other.

The two stars had performed in Shenyang, China two Sundays ago before taking the same flight back to Taipei the next day.

A*Mei's agent clarified that she was just showing Jay a few tracks on her new album and was asking for his opinions. They had always exchanged ideas over the phone as well.

So why were they sitting so close?

"They were just sharing a set of headphones. If they were really avoiding rumours, they would not have sat together," her agent explained.

Jay's company JVR Music also responded that it is perfectly normal for two good friends to sit together for a chat.

Arashi’s album becomes the first million-seller of 2010

Arashi leader Satoshi Ohno (29) has asked fans to keep supporting them as the group celebrated the news that their latest album “僕の見ている風景 (Boku no Miteiru Fuukei)” has sold more than one million copies according to figures released today, reports Oricon.

The album, released on August 4, has sold 8561 copies in the past week, bringing it to a total of 1007896 copies sold to date.

The group had turned up at their “JAL嵐JET” event at Haneda Airport today, ahead of the October 21st opening of the airport’s newest international terminal.

During the event, the members had thanked their fans for all of their support.

“Everyone, I hope you don’t turn away from Arashi…please, fly on our jet! We’ll be flying on it too,” Ohno said.

“When I hear our songs being played in the convenience stores, it makes me realise that a lot of people listen to us,” Masaki Aiba (27) said.

“I’m really happy,” Jun Matsumoto (27) said.

“The (album) release was in summer so everything’s been able to sink into me slowly over time,” Sho Sakurai (28) said.

Kazunari Ninomiya (27) could only say “it’s amazing…” upon hearing that Arashi’s latest single had also claimed the number one spot this week.

“It was a song made especially for my movie so I hope everyone who made the movie will listen to it,” he said.

The last Arashi album to sell more than one million copies was their best album “All the BEST! 1999 – 2009″ released in August 2009, making it two years in a row that the group has had a million-seller album. As an original album, it is the group’s first million-seller.

“僕の見ている風景 (Boku no Miteiru Fuukei)” is Arashi’s ninth original album, which includes their hit singles “Troublemaker” and “Monster”, and a number of solo songs. When the album had been first released in August, more than 730,000 records were sold in the first week.

Their record streak had earned them a place in last year’s NHK 紅白歌合戦 (NHK Kouhaku Uta-gassen) show, and Matsumoto has been reported to have said the group hopes to be invited again.

“It’s not something we decide, but if we do get invited (to Kouhaku) it would make me happy,” he said.

Today, the group continued to promote their Arashi Jet, and talked about their explorations inside and outside the plane.

It started with Sakurai, who softly mouthed “Hello, Tokyo” as he tried to copy the way The Beatles spoke when they had first stepped off the plane in Tokyo back in the 1960s.

“Our faces (on the plane)…wow, Arashi look cool! This is amazing, I can’t believe it,” Aiba said.

“I sat where the flight attendants usually sit. You don’t get that sort of opportunity very often. I feel a little embarrassed,” said Ohno.

“I sat opposite him and took lots of photos,” said Ninomiya.

“I was like the father figure watching the four of them running around,” said Matsumoto.

Ada Choi Explains Her 'Sexually Explicit Sound Recording'

Recently a sound recording that's suspicious of being a sexual sound recording is circulating on the internet. Some netizens figured the recording is released by a Hong Kong artist on his/her Weibo (Sina Microblog). The file is removed several hours later. Based on the voice of the male and female in the recording, netizens suspect it's TVB actress Ada Choi and her husband Max Zhang.

Here's the short conversation in the recording:
Female: "Try harder!"
Male: "I can't."
Female: "Use more strength! Try harder!"
Male: "I really can't."
Female: "Not anymore?"
Male: "Can't, can't, really can't."
Female: "Use more strength! You can't just stop!"

Netizens compared voice of Ada and Max with voices of the couple in the recording and believe it's highly similiar.

Finally knew about the incident, Ada and Max immediately clear up on their Weibo, explaining it's not a sexually explicit recording. "Manager told us reporters have asked about an explicit sound recording. As for this, I want to say that it's indeed our voice," Ada admits. "However, they are scripts for a scene where we are moving sofa in a movie!," she explains. "Can't believe some people use such cheap way to promote and affect other's reputation to get attention. I'm very disappointed!"

Max seems helpless about this incident. "We didn't want to reply to anything before, but manager called us and said reporters want a response from us...I want to say there are many ways to promote...this type of promotion...sigh, I can just give it a laugh," he writes.

The couple didn't get upset by this incident. Ada is happy that her friends and fans are supporting and loving her still. Max thanks everyone for supporting them. "Actually I'm not unhappy, it's just there's a need to reply. It's good to have Weibo, can share everything with you guys," he says.

Doesn't know how to cook, Kenneth Ma attended to a food event as guest along with "Tasty Angels" yesterday. The five had to perform catwalk and one of the angels almost fell, but fortunately it went well overall. Kenneth also tried to make dessert under the instructions from the cook. Female audience even fought to taste the final product. Kenneth said: "Knowing how to make dessert is actually very welcomed by girls. Really have to start learning it. Moses Chan knows how to make coffee!"

Talked about TVB might move its anniversary award ceremony early to prevent airing it the same day as ATV's Miss Asia, Kenneth believed there's no need to change dates: "No need to worry. This year's competition for TV king is quite intense. There's Moses, Wayne Lai. Heard Felix Wong from 'Gun Metal Grey' is good. Plus our female colleagues are very sexy, absolute no need to worry."
