Thought I would put this together so as to best prepare people for what they may be eventually seeing in Space Lover. I will not be posting it on this site but will link to it for anyone interested in seeing it. It doesn't quite work with in the theme of this blog so I would rather keep it seperate. Also I have yet to get permmision from the powers that be as I believe there are some copyright and ownership issues so I have to be sensitive to their... erhhh... needs? Is that what they are calling it these days? Anyways a little history listen below to put this all into context. Enjoy :)

Cantopop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cantopop (Chinese: 粵語流行曲) is a colloquial portmanteau for "Cantonese popular music". It is also referred to as HK-pop, short for "Hong Kong popular music". It is categorized as a subgenre of Chinese popular music within C-pop. Cantopop draws its influence not only from other forms of Chinese music, but from a variety of international styles including jazz, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, electronic music, western pop music and others. By and large, cantopop songs are almost invariably performed in Cantonese. Boasting a multinational fanbase, Hong Kong is the most significant hub of the genre.[1]

Here are some selects (for the sake of brevity) that i found in the following article:

Cantopop Kingdom

"In most places, pop music may be an anthem of anarchy. But Cantopop is an island of musical serenity in the Kingdom of Nice. Here's how Edison Chen, one of the young rebels challenging the autocracy of amiability, describes it: "No sex. No drugs. Maybe a little rock 'n' roll." The ballads rise with a decorous lilt; even most of Cantopop's uptempo numbers could be sung (with English lyrics) in a Presbyterian church in Iowa. Most of the singers have good manners too. Perky, dreamy, neatly dressed, well behaved, they are the rock stars any mom would want her kid to marry."

"There's a sweet dizziness to Cantopop fandom that's reminiscent of the innocent bobby-sox frenzy of the Sinatra years. "

"If fans don't stalk the stars, the insatiable paparazzi do. "They follow me everywhere," says Leslie Cheung. "I don't even put my litter outside the house anymore. People try to find things and sell them."

Now all that said, I feel I should mention that this video is targeted at youngsters and tweens.  It's a cultural thing!!!
