having my aunt's name emblazoned in large letters across the top makes that cover even more unsettling

Discovered this track by Priscilla Chan earlier this year 陳慧嫻 - 反叛 'Rebel' I think is the translation:

Sweet find, though those traditional characters throw me, eh. I've spent a few hours sifting through small cantopop vinyl stalls in some GZ markets with my phone opened to Xiami and puzzling things out, though I find the ballad/banger ratio a bit hard to deal with coming from a more freestyle/italo zone. One of the Sandy Lam LPs I listened to had a retitled cover of "Take My Breath Away", for what it's worth.

Not sure how well Tudou works outside of China, but here's 劉美君/Prudence Liew's "Subtropical Boy":

Yeah that's a pretty well known one - it featured prominently in wong kar-wai's first movie as tears go by
