''Changyou'' () is an 1998 Mandarin album by Beijing-based singer Faye Wong. It includes 10 tracks in Mandarin, with a bonus disc of 3 Cantonese tracks.〔Anthony Fung and Michael Curtin, “The Anomalies of Being Faye (Wong): Gender Politics in Chinese Popular Music,” International Journal of Cultural Studies 5, no. 3 (September 2002) - album not mentioned by name -〕 The name Chàngyóu (唱遊) is the title of an official Chinese primary school music teaching coursebook which was in use at least as early as 1943.〔初小唱遊指導法 China (Nanking Government) 1943〕 It is still used today as the title of a PRC National Primary School Curriculum textbook, and also in Taiwan.〔國民小學唱遊 1996〕 The album title is usually translated as ''Sing and Play'' in English sources.〔Stan Jeffries, ''Encyclopedia of world pop music, 1980-2001'' 2003 p224. "In January 1998, Wong won the favorite female category at Taiwan's Channel V awards. As part of her new goal of winning wider recognition, in the same year she released Sing and Play. The album included some Wong compositions and introduced more ballads to her canon, as most of her previous releases had been unerringly jaunty pop numbers. She then undertook a tour of Japan that lasted for six months. Her nomadic lifestyle throughout this period made her one of the most widely recognized people in East Asia (Asiaweek magazine included her in a list of "50 people you should know in China"), but it began to have an effect on her private life."〕〔Shane Homan, ''Access All Eras: Tribute Bands and Global Pop Culture'', 2006, p224. "... almost exclusively on contributions from Hong Kong-, Beijing- and Singapore-based composers along with her own compositions on Sing and Play (1998), Only Love Strangers (1999), Fable (2000), Faye Wong (2001) and To Love (2003)."〕〔(Faye Wong is all woman ), ''Taipei Times'' 2004-11-24. "Sing and Play"〕 Others refer to the album as ''Song Tour'' (遊 can mean ''tour''), or as ''Scenic Tour'' which was the name of Wong's 1998–1999 concert tour. ''Sing and Play'' was the first Chinese album recorded using HDCD techniques. The album was noted for some of its ballads, in contrast to the pop songs which had provided most of Faye Wong's hits around that time.〔 "Red Beans", "Face" and "Love Commandments" were released as singles and achieved lasting popularity.〔 ==Track listing== ;Notes 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Changyou (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
