Today, Arista Records released the Bullet Train Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Sony Picturesโ original action thriller Bullet Train, which opens August 10 in Philippine cinemas nationwide. Listen to the Bullet Train Original Motion Picture SoundtrackHERE.
The 14-track collection features original music from composer Dominic Lewis (The Kingโs Man, The Man in the High Castle, Peter Rabbit) and new unreleased music recorded exclusively for the film, spanning alternative, pop, Latin, and Japanese stylings.International phenomenon Avu-chan (Queen Bee) contributes a slick and sizzling cover of the Bee Geesโ classic โStayinโ Aliveโ in Japanese,while Engelbert Humperdinck ignites โIโm Forever Blowing Bubbles.โ Critically acclaimed alt-pop trailblazer UPSAHL serves up the original โMy Time To Shineโ for the Soundtrack. In a menacing croon over hypnotic bass, she promises, โYou want to start to fight, Iโll make a grown man cry.โ The Soundtrack taps into the energy of the film and maintains its bold breakneck pace sonically.
Composer Dominic Lewis states: โThis experience has been a blast!!! Bullet Train is a creative mecca that as artists we crave and strive for. My journey started with writing โLa Despedidaโ thinking this would be perfect for Alejandro Sanz. Never in a million years did I expect he would say yes and that I would have such an incredible experience with him and the song. And it just kept happening. One just doesnโt imagine ever getting to work with such legends like Englebert and Tamio. Avu couldnโt have been more perfect for โStayinโ Aliveโ and UPSAHL brought her magic to my original โPrince Suiteโ resulting in โMy Time To Shineโ.
Blank canvas can often be accompanied with the instruction of which paints to use and where to put them. Not with David. โSwing for the fencesโโฆ โBe boldโ. Without Davidโs trust, vision and a collaborative experience thatโs second to none, the stars wouldnโt have aligned resulting in this gonzo, badass soundtrack. I only hope audiences have as much fun listening to it as we did making it.โ
The animated lyric video for UPSAHLโs โMy Time To Shineโ is out now – watch it HERE. Be on the lookout for additional animated music videos for โStayinโ Alive,โMiki Asakuraโs โHolding Out For A Hero (Dance Version),โ and Alejandro SanzโsโLa Despedida.โ
โโIn Bullet Train, Brad Pitt stars as Ladybug, an unlucky assassin determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs had gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have other plans, as Ladybug’s latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globeโall with connected, yet conflicting, objectivesโon the world’s fastest train. The end of the line is just the beginning in this non-stop thrill-ride through modern-day Japan from David Leitch, the director of Deadpool 2. The screenplay is by Zak Olkewicz, based on the book by Kotaro Isaka.

Beakout global superstar Bella Poarch releases her highly anticipated debut EP Dolls via Warner Records. Listen to it here! As a lifelong musician, Bella has been working on her EP for over a year alongside frequent collaborator, producer, and fellow Warner Records artist Sub Urban. The EP includes previously released tracks, โBuild A Bitch,โ โInferno,โ and most recently, โDolls.โ The EP also features her new single โLiving Hell,โ plus โVillain,โ and โNo Manโs Land (feat. Grimes).โ โNo Manโs Landโ reunites Bella with Grimes, who had previously appeared in Bellaโs epic music video for โDolls.โ
Of her debut EP, Bella shared, โIโm really excited to release my first EP after starting this journey during lockdown. Dolls is my personal story of challenges and growth over time that I hope my fans can relate to.โ
In tandem with the EP release, Bella also shared the official video for her new, deeply emotional and personal single, โLiving Hellโ from the EP. Watch here! Throughout the song, Bella takes back control of her narrative to let go of the pain that has been holding her prisoner and to develop the courage to reclaim her power. Conceptualized by Bella herself, she reteamed with director Andrew Donoho (โBuild a Bitchโ and โDollsโ) to create a visual to match the track. In the powerful video, Bella is trapped in a room much like she was during her childhood. Throughout, Bella sees her younger self and comes to the realization that the pain inflicted on her as a child no longer defines her life.
Dolls serves as Bellaโs first full body of work, following a handful of wildly acclaimed singles. Bella first broke onto the music scene in early 2021 when she released her debut single โBuild a Bitch.โ Upon its release, the music video for the song hit #1 on the Global and U.S. YouTube video charts, marking the biggest debut ever for a new artist with over 410 million views to date. The platinum single is rapidly approaching 1 billion global streams.
Bella Poarch is a Filipina-American singer and songwriter who served in the military as a teenager and has been quickly rising since breaking out on TikTok in 2020. Her video โM to the Bโ hit 50 million likes on TikTok, becoming the first in history to do so. With TikTokโs most liked video of all time, Bella is the #3 most-followed creator on the platform and the #1 Asian-American influencer in the world with more than 90 million followers.
Bella was recently named to the 2022 Gold House A100 List, aiming to uplift and invest in the AAPI community and its future.

A lasting, unforgettable starry night with Cha Eun Woo
Astroโs Cha Eun Woo left Manila starry-eyed after his 2022 Just One Ten Minute: Starry Caravan in Manila fan meeting at the Araneta Coliseum last August 6, 2022. The fan meeting marked his return to the Philippines following his first solo event in 2019.
From a venue with less than three thousand attendees to a packed coliseum, Cha Eun Wooโs growth has been incredible. He captured the hearts of many Filipinos from around the globe with his roles in True Beauty, Hit the Top, My ID is Gangnam Beauty, Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung, and Top Management.
Many are first drawn in by his looks, but his talent and personality turn them into fans. While many know him more as an actor, he debuted as a member of the talented KPop group Astro. Aside from his activities with Astro, he also displayed his vocal prowess thru the numerous OSTs for dramas he appeared in. He appeared in variety shows like Master in the House,Handsome Tigers, Law of the Jungle, and Astroโs pre-debut variety show called OK! Ready.
He has hosted award and music shows, and even garnered multiple awards both with his group Astro and as an actor. He has endorsed multiple brands and even became a brand ambassador for high-end brands like Dior and Burberry.
Cha Eun Woo is more than a pretty face. Heโs kind, humble, smart, and an all-arounder. And itโs no wonder that he captured the support of many fans around the world, the Philippines being no exception.
A Starry Day with Cha Eun Woo: The Press Conference
On the day of the fan meeting, Filipinos from around the world,ย international Arohas, and fans flew in for Cha Eun Wooโs Just One Ten Minute: Starry Caravan in Manila.
A mix of media and lucky fans who won the raffle contest to attend the press conference came to meet the Astro member ahead of his fan meeting. While waiting for the fan meet to begin, Sam Oh kept fans entertained by playing a trivia game about Cha Eun Woo. She also interviewed those who flew in from Davao, Guam, and even Miami.
Moments before Cha Eun Woo entered, the anticipation inside the tent was palpable. Fans were at the edge of their seats, a mix of nervousness and excitement until finally Sam Oh announced that Cha Eun Woo had arrived. The fans went wild with excitement. And just like what everyone had said, he was handsome, but he also had a down-to-earth aura about him that made him more endearing.
His first message to everyone present was this. โHello, guys. Long time no see. I missed you. How about you?โ
Sam Oh then proceeded with the questions from the media. When asked about what memories from the Philippines he wants to recreate, he shared that when he was here, he used to go to a mall once a month and eat kebab.
He also said that when he comes to the Philippines, heโs nervous, happy, and excited to see his fans. He even mentioned that some fans were there at the airport to welcome him when he arrived the day before.
Another question was what was the most noticeable change, and he said that he thinks heโs the same. To this, the fans shouted โbetter!โ to which he responded and agreed by saying that he learned a lot after his debut. He also shared that he doesnโt feel like heโs achieved that much yet and instead of learning something else, heโd rather get better at what he already does.
.@philconcerts asked during #StarryCaravanInMNL press con: You have visited the Philippines a number of times already. How do you feel every time you come back to the Philippines?
He was then asked about his new hobbies. As a person who loves sports, he said that heโd taken up golf and tennis over the last two years.
On what inspired him to write song lyrics, he said it’s the things he sees and experiences.
As for what fans could look forward to at the fan meeting, Cha Eun Woo shared that they tried their best to prepare a show where the fans will have fun and enjoy themselves.
His parting message was this, โLetโs have a great night tonight. Thank you for coming. Thank you for waiting for me. I love you! Mahal ko kayo.โ
The press conference was shortโten minutesโa nod to the name of the fan meeting โJust One Ten Minuteโ. As the story goes, it only takes ten minutes for someone to fall in love with Cha Eun Woo. And in ten minutes, he did capture the attention of everyone in the room.
A few hours later, fans were already at the Araneta Coliseum meeting up with each other, giving away and receiving Cha Eun Woo and Astro-related freebies such as albums, pins, photo cards, and notepads. Online friendships turned into real-life friendships.
Inside the venue, fans were taking their turn to take photos by the stage backdrop as Astro songs played in the background. Finally, the lights dimmed, the crowd screamed and the coliseum lit up in a purple galaxy of robongs as a short introduction video flashed on the screen.
And just like magic, Cha Eun Woo rose from behind the large LED screen on stage as the first few notes of โFirst Loveโ filled the coliseum. โNa-miss ko kayo!โ He said before singing the first verse.
The coliseum was ringing with the crowd’s cheers and screams that Cha Eun Woo kept signaling to increase the volume from his earpiece, so he could hear the music. He sported his brilliant blue custom microphone and in-ear piece gifted to him by international fans.
Other Astro members also received custom microphones from fans, so it was a sweet gesture for him to bring his custom microphone on tour with him and a way to show his appreciation to his fans.
His live vocals were stable and sounded just like the recorded version. The song ended with him doing the signature L pose from the First Love choreography. He was amazed at how loud the crowd was and said, โWow!โ
After introducing himself, he teased the crowd by saying, โDid you guys miss me? Really? How much?โ before proceeding to smile his signature eye smile.
Sam Oh joined him on stage and then began the first segment of the show called โFact Checkโ where she would read statements and Eun Woo would have to agree or disagree by holding up a placard: an O if he agreed or an X if he disagreed.
He was asked about various things from the type of gift-giver he was (he gives gifts that are useful), which seat on the plane he preferred (the aisle seat), and whether or not heโd wait in line for a really good restaurant (heโd rather go to a different restaurant), and how heโd react to encountering a person he doesnโt remember but says hi to him (he will say hi and not let that person know that he doesnโt remember).
He also shared that he liked Philippine mangoes and mangosteen, and his secret was to look fresh after a flight (he said thereโs no particular thing and that he just does what he wants).
He also shared his airplane routine which was to get comfy by wearing slippers, a blanket, his Airpods, and requesting a sleeping mask from the staff, which most likely means he naps on the plane.
He was also asked what heโd like people to remember him by and he said he wanted to be remembered as a good boy. This reminds me of a nickname fans have given him: Good Guy Cha.
But what made fans scream loud was when he was asked to give a message to them. He said the crowd had a lot of energy. โYou guys are super hot,โ he quipped and the crowd went wild.
After โFact Checkโ, the next segment was โ5 Minutes Straightโ where Eun Woo introduced what he called the main work of Actor Cha Eun Woo and reenacted scenes from each drama.
The first was his first lead role in My ID is Gangnam Beauty. He was asked to reenact the scene where he confessed to Kang Mi-rae. Though he admitted he was a bit embarrassed to do so, he still reenacted it and acted shy afterwards.
He introduced his drama Top Management and mentioned that his character there was similar to him as well as his thoughts when filming the music video for that drama.
Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung was next. After sharing more about his role in the drama, he was asked to say his lines: the comforting words to Goo Hae-ryung when she was crying.
Last but not least was True Beautyโa crowd favoriteโwhere he reenacted his character Lee Suho getting drunk for the first time. Aside from that, he sang the famous โOttokeโ song twiceโthe second time with the fans singing along.
Ather the โ5 Minutes Straightโ segment, Cha Eun Woo proceeded to sing โDonโt Cry My Love.โ There was a short break in between where he changed outfits and then came back out and serenaded the crowd with โFocus On Meโ.
The next segment consisted of him sculpting himself using clay after choosing a photo from six options. As he focused intently on his sculpture, Sam Oh would ask him questions like if he was the type of person who didnโt like others to touch his hair as well as which was his favorite part of his face.
He asked the crowd which was their favorite. โMy eyes? Nose? Lips?โ The crowd screamed loudly at this last option. โWhy lips?โ He asked twice before blowing a flying kiss and making everyone scream even louder.
When he was finished with the sculpture, Sam Oh asked him to pose with it and show the crowd the cool Eun Woo, the handsome Eun Woo, the sexy Eun Woo, and the fatal Eun Woo to which he did a lip swipe.

โIโm happy that we are together,โ Cha Eun Woo said before Sam Oh proceeded to tell the crowd that the fan meeting was nearing its end. He pouted at this, signaling that he didnโt want it to end as well, and gave a parting message. He said he was really happy to see his fans and for them not to be sad. โMahal ko kayo.โ
โDo you guys want to see me often?โ He asked as the crowd screamed loud. โThen Iโll come often.โ He then proceeded to perform his next song, a mash-up of two Shawn Mendes songs.
The lights dimmed and the crowd was a galaxy of purple as they began to chant his real name, โLee Dong-min! Lee Dong-min! Lee Dong-min!โ He sat on the piano and played the intro of โWhen Youโre Gone.โ When the beat changed to a faster one, he stood up and sang โHold Onโ and the lights went off again.
For his encore, Cha Eun Woo rose from the LED screen on stage carrying a basket of roses as he sang “Aloha”. After singing the first verse, he stood up and went to the crowd to give the roses to his fans. The next song was another OST, but this time from True Beauty, which was โLove So Fineโ.
Before the hi-hello session after the program, Eun Woo took a photo with the crowd and a heartwarming video Filipino fans made for him flashed on screen showcasing his various sides as an actor, idol, host, and variety show member as well as photos of fans with their messages for him.
He sat on stage watching in awe, appreciation, and love and he even grinned while watching the fan project. โEvery time I come to the Philippines I always get a lot of gifts from you guys. I was very touched. Thank you so much for these unforgettable memories.โ And for many Arohas, the fan meeting was a lasting, unforgettable memory of that starry night with their first love Cha Eun Woo.

Ephemeral offers a refreshing and infectious upbeat vibe that will take listeners back to a nostalgic summer. Featuring a spirited production with the help of a full band, Nikki Navaโs new single is a slight deviation from her previous works that are minimalist in structure, only consisting of delicate vocals and an electric guitar accompaniment.
While it may sound like a perfect summer pick-me-upper, the song unveils an irrepressible melancholy with Nikki Navaโs tuneful storytelling and creative lyricism.
Ephemeral is a dreamy recollection of our short-lived connections. But unlike most endings with goodbye as the last word spoken, the song finishes with a hopeful wish to meet again whenever fate permits. Ephemeral will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Youtube Music, and other digital music streaming platforms starting August 12.
Nikki Nava, together with Funkybeat Entertainment, will be holding a video and merch launch party for Ephemeral on August 19, 9 p.m., at 123 Block in Mandala Park, Shaw Blvd, Mandaluyong. Joining Nikki Nava for this night of music are Filipino artists Coeli, ToneeJay, The Ridleys, and Leanne and Naara.
Ephemeral will be released under Wide Eyed Records Manila.

EPHEMERAL Nikki Nava
They’re closing down the bar Where we first met They’ll turn it into dust And powdered dreams Of when I sang to you and nobody cared And when I learned your familiar name
I’d suppose I write it down So I won’ t forget It’s only what I have Of our history Cause all the science, and the math grew old But all our traces live in literature
And so I’ll get by Hibernating And watch all my friends Go on chasing Supposed ends of their strings
Interlude
Now all the lights go down in 1,2,3 Whatever happened then What’s meant to be? But now whose empty hands I’d rather hold If it’s not yours then, then what’s the point
And so I’ll get by
Hibernating And watch all my friends Go on chasing
And I’ll still look out for your face In case we meet again At a different restaurant Hopefully you’re on your own

Music from the forthcoming NETFLIX film, Purple Hearts, with music performed and co-written by Sofia Carson is set for release on July 29, via Hollywood Records. โCome Back Home,โ the focus track featured in the film is available now. Listen HERE. Purple Hearts releases globally exclusively on NETFLIX on July 29, 2022.
Carson, who executive produced and stars in the film, co-wrote the music with acclaimed songwriter Justin Tranter (โSorryโ Justin Bieber and โLose You to Love Meโ Selena Gomez), along with Skyler Stonestreet, Daniel Crean and Eren Cannata.
When it came time to create the music for the film, Carson shares, โBefore I began this journey, the first person that came to my mind and heart was, the incomparable, Justin Tranter. I was honored to collaborate with them to bring to life the music for this film. Writing the soundtrack for Purple Hearts was one of the most fulfilling and thrilling experiences of my life. I dove into Cassieโs heart and soul in order to write her story through song. And I cannot wait for the world to fall in love with her heart, through her music.โ
The music follows the romantic journey of the filmโs two lead characters: Cassie (Carson), a struggling singer-songwriter, and Luke (Nicholas Galitzine), a Marine with a troubled past, who decide to marry solely for military benefitsโdespite their many differences. There are four original songs written and featured in the film: โCome Back Home,โ โBlue Side of the Sky,โ โHate the Wayโ and โI Didnโt Know,โ which are Cassieโs songs subconsciously inspired by Luke, who becomes her muse.
In Purple Hearts, it couldnโt be more true that, where words fail, music speaks. Directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, Purple Hearts is a timeless romance between two unexpected people who come together despite all odds in this heartfelt and electric love story. Watch HERE.
