Jolin makes cover of BWO song
Jolin Tsai’s new album Agent J is set to be released 21 September. I listened to an, I guess leaked, copy of the album earlier today. I was a bit shocked when track 11 (日不落, Ri Bu Luo, Sun will never set) started to play, because it’s a cover of the song Sunshine in the rain by the Swedish pop group BWO (Bodies Without Organs). I know Jolin has had Swedish composers before, but this is the first time I’ve heard of a cover. It’s the same song, only with Chinese lyrics.
Below you can find an MP3 of Jolin’s version, as well as a YouTube clip of BWO’s original:
- Sun will never set (日不落, Ri Bu Luo) 3.5MB MP3
Regarding Jolin’s new album, there are a gazillion different versions available for pre-order. I have no Idea which one to pick. But it’s OK, I’m not going to order anything until I’ve moved (which I’ll do at the end of the month).

Hi, I’m from Taiwan.
I was also shocked when I heard 日不落 on radio…XD
EMI Taiwan released BWO’s Prototype and Halcyon Days, but they didn’t do any promotion then, so BWO isn’t famous here. This is the reason why I feel shocked when I heard 日不落.
And I want to say 日不落 should be “Ri Bu Luo”, “Jin San Jiao” should be 金三角

I heard that this song (Jolin’s version) is very popular too.
Thanks for the correction. I must have copied the wrong title (I don’t speak Chinese, which is painfully apparent now
).
