China’s first visual rock band, Silver Ash, have officially reunited in January of this year through the release of their single “Pretty but Evil” on January 4th.
The group has also set their sights on being a fully international band by offering songs in English, Chinese and Japanese.
Their next step is the release of their newest single “Reborn”, which is set to come out on April 6.
Just like “Pretty but Evil”, “Reborn” is going to release with worldwide intent, meaning it’s going to be a digital single which is going to be available through iTunes, Amazon and Google Play – among other services.
To demonstrate their desire for the international aspect, “Reborn” is written completely in English, but a Japanese version of the song will follow shortly after, as well as a remastered English and Japanese version of “Pretty but Evil”.
You can find more information about Silver Ash on their official website, here.
雪 (Yuki) is the owner and driving force behind Arlequin.
She originally started the project in 2009 as a photographer under the name of Arlequin Photography, but developed an interest in journalism and translation ever since. Because of these interests interviews and reviews were added to the project, until it eventually hit the limits as a "photographer" in 2021, and Arlequin Magazine was added to the mix.
雪 (Yuki) is a native Dutch speaker with a graphic design degree, which means she is also the main person behind Arlequin Creations.
After all these years, she's still the one responsible for the interviews and most of the live photography you see here at Arlequin, but the majority of reviews and behind-the-scenes work is also done by her.
The reviews she writes are from the viewing point of an overseas fan, and thus written in English before being translated to Dutch, Spanish and Japanese. In the English versions she also tries to explain the meaning behind certain kanji or song titles to the readers, but what you don't see here is that these explanations are omitted in the Japanese versions in order to appeal to these readers more.
She speaks Dutch and English on a native level, but also understands Japanese and German.
