The Musical An Accident of Love, based on the 1983 blockbuster Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing?, premiered at the National Taichung Theater earlier this month. Musician Jonathan Lee and other artists attended the event and gave favorable reviews, and went backstage after the show to applaud lead actress Della Ding and the cast.
The musical tells the story of a mute veteran and his adopted daughter A-mei, whom he loses to showbiz after she is discovered. All the hit songs in the film version were sung by 1980s singer Julie Sue. Now, classics such as the theme song Any Empty Wine Bottles for Sale? are seeing the light of day again in this musical version. After the musical moved to the National Theater in Taipei last weekend, the show is to be performed today and tomorrow at the Kaohsiung Cultural Center.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing.

One of the primary reasons for implementing DST is to make better use of natural daylight so that people can reduce energy consumption. The concept originated with Benjamin Franklin in 1784 and became widely adopted during World War I. Today, this system is in place
