¡Bravi will accompany you all on the last day of the year 2023 with our rival Pokevi. 2023/12/31 See you on the Kohaku stage. ‼️》

On December 16, NHK announced that “Pocket Biscuits” and “Black Biscuits” would participate in the special program “Famous Songs Brought to You by TV” at the Kohaku Uta Gassen on New Year’s Eve. This is the first time in 25 years that Vivian has participated in the Kohaku Uta Gassen as a member of “Bravi”.

Vivian came to Japan in 1995 and made her breakthrough as a variety entertainer on “Uuchan Nanchan no Urinali‼” (Nippon Television Network Corporation). In ’98, they performed “Timing”, which became a big hit, selling 2 million copies, and appeared in the Kohaku White Film Festival. After leaving “Urinali” in 1999, he continued his singing career, but has been active in Taiwan since around 2003.

After returning to Taiwan, she got her big break in the form of being reimported. Not only as a singer, but also as an actress, she appeared in a succession of high-profile movies and TV dramas and became a top star, performing even better than when she was in Japan. Vivian had become so popular that in 2007 she went to Los Angeles to study language and dance. This magazine FRIDAY witnessed Vivian on a “date” at that time.

In April 2007, a conspicuous Asian couple was spotted at a large shopping mall in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The “Asian beauty” with a bright green cut-and-sewn shirt and long black hair was 32-year-old Vivian, who had not been seen in Japan for a long time at that time. She was accompanied by a handsome man in a long white T-shirt and denim shorts.

Upon entering the mall, Vivian rushed to the apparel section on the second floor. She picked up several colorful T-shirts and immediately went to the fitting room. Every time she tried on a T-shirt, she would run up to the man and ask, “Does it look good on me? Vivian’s shopping spree went on and on. Vivian’s shopping spree went on and on, and finally ended after about two hours.

They seemed quite intimate, but when we asked her agency about her relationship with the man, they replied, “He is a friend who is studying abroad with her from Taiwan, not a lover.

Vivian got married in ’14 to Sean Lee, a businessman whose annual income was said to be 100 million. Before that, she was reportedly in love with a number of celebrities, including Vaness Wu, a member of the idol group F4, Stephen Fung, a popular Hong Kong actor, and Leo Ha, a businessman. For Vivian, who is “in love” a lot, this handsome man may have been just a “friend.

On December 11, 2011, Vivian announced her divorce from Sean Lee.

On December 6, she posted on Instagram, “I’m not Happy now How about You? How about You? and his fans were concerned when he posted a meaningful message.’ In 2009, Vivian and popular singer and actor Wang Li Hong were alleged to have had an affair, and Vivian stopped wearing her wedding ring on Instagram, and the couple’s relationship seemed to have cooled off in recent years.

Will they resume their activities in Japan in earnest with “Bravi”? We will keep an eye on the future of Vivian, who has started a new path at the age of 50.
