Show Lo, who goes by the pseudonym Beauty Lo this year, launched a new catchy song “Buy Winter Melon,” which set off a frenzy in Taiwan, Thailand, and Southeast Asia. Show Lo, who debuted 27 years ago, was famous for performing fast songs, but this year he released his new lyrical album, “Love Pass” to surprise his fans. “I will bring you a performance full of memories. I’ve adapted my old fast songs into a suite. It’s a gift for everyone on New Year’s Eve,” said Show Lo happily.

In 2019, EXILE AKIRA, the Japanese superstar, got married to Taiwanese supermodel Lin Chi-Ling. As Taiwan released its COVID restrictions, AKIRA started to work both in Taiwan and Japan. He ended his New Year’s performances in Taiwan and then started to prepare for the 2023 TTV SUPER STAR event. Akira said that he had been performing alone before becoming a member of EXILE. This time, he will be performing alone on the stage, which reminded him of his old days. “Through this performance, I hope I can let everyone know that by adhering to their dreams, there is a chance to stand on the big stage,” shared Akira. The program unit revealed that in addition to bringing a solo performance, Akira will work with a superstar to bring audiences an international-standard audiovisual feast.
