Singer Jolin Tsai was invited to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris last week, becoming the first female Asian star to be invited to the show. Tsai sat in the front row, captivated by the breathtaking outfits the models were wearing.

When people listen to music today, they typically use streaming services like YouTube or Spotify. However, traditional formats like vinyl records have regained popularity in recent times. Vinyl records are circular discs that store music in grooves on their surfaces and are played on a turntable.
