What do they mean by the "world music awards"? And, what is "this song"? I guess it's a Taiwanese/Mandarin song?

[Richard]

So Hayley is spending at least eight days in Taiwan, 3 concert nights.
I remember hearing somewhere a long time ago that the first Japanese Songs album was recorded in three days.

I really fancy that song list and my mind is wandering to the fantasy of being able to go to one of those concerts, but a fantasy is all it is going to be. so I am hoping some of our other members can do the business over there

What a glorious new photo!!!

[Joe]

Great work, Taylor!  Excellent info there...which went straight to our forum's Facebook page!  

I also updated our forum's schedules post with the three concert dates and locations. 

I love that new photo!   Would look spiffing as an album cover   

[Libby]

That's got to be from the new photo shoot she did in Italy!

Things are looking up. Even if the album doesn't come out this year, at least she's in the studio a lot more, and actually has new photos that are quite likely for the new album. It may not be normal for photo shoots to be done before the album is completed, but if she is doing this all herself as has been suggested, she might just do things when it works out to do them, not when it's normal to.

You've got me wishing I could be there. 18 songs, sure to be a great evening. Welcome back Hayley.

We had a comment from Leslie Lin on our Facebook page about some further translations...

You cannot trust Google translation :-P
Let me correct the question marks as below:
Tears Shining → Nada Sousou
Heart → Hana
Rose → The Rose
You Do Not Lonely → You Are Not Alone (my guessing)
Through time and space → Across the Universe of Time
Your Heartbeat → Beat of Your Heart
