Sony Music, in cooperation with the estate of Whitney Houston, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album with the release of Whitney Houston — I Wish You Love: More from The Bodyguard today, in honor of the pop diva’s legacy.
Houston is acclaimed as one of the greatest female pop singers. She entered the film industry after achieving success in her singing career, starring in several blockbusters, including 1992’s The Bodyguard, the soundtrack for which is actually the best-selling original soundtrack of all time. In May 1997 she held a concert in Taiwan. In February 2012, she was found drowned in a bathtub at a hotel due to an overdose of drugs and alcohol. She was only 48 when she died.
The new album includes never-before-released live recordings from Houston’s iconic The Bodyguard Tour, and alternate versions of the audio recordings from the film — including her biggest megahit ever: I Will Always Love You.

It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice.

As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon.

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl.

On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony.
