Joanna's views on her debut album tend to be rather negative, as she has stated often in public interviews that she greatly dislikes its corporate nature, its blatant commercialism, and its misclassification as jazz. Her second album, 2009's Joanna & 王若琳 contained more of her own writing, including an entire disk (titled The Adult Storybook and credited to New Tokyo Terror) of original material. The personnel of her new album includes Roger Joseph Manning Jr., Freddy Koella, Paul Bushnell, and Brian MacLeod. In 2011, Joanna released one cover album The Things We Do For Love along with The Adventures Of Bernie The Schoolboy, which is her 2nd original album.
As she was partially raised in the United States, she was exposed to many classic pop music acts, among them The Beatles, Queen, and Oingo Boingo. Among her major influences are Danny Elfman, Yoeko Kurahashi (倉橋ヨエコ), Paul McCartney, and video game soundtracks, most notably those from the Castlevania, Zelda, and Mario series.
She is also a left-handed guitarist.
She has also covered various popular songs in English and in Chinese on Taiwanese television programs, and has released an EP including songs by Paul Simon and The Carpenters, among others.
NOW
王若琳 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
这是个太复杂的世界
我想要爱谁我就爱谁 我不想那么的虚伪
现在就是我要的那种永远
我的爱有一点自私 可是未来谁知道
我的心很自由 Oh Oh
说你会爱我 Now
说你爱我 Now Now
我遇见你 Now
东京的秋天 冷的雨和泪
太多舍不得的回忆会不见
所以我只要你真心 在这一刻你的真心
虽然也许最后还是说再见
所有美好美丽的事 我都不想再等待
我们拥有现在
说你会爱我Now
说你爱我 Now Now
爱像一次旅行 遇到谁不知道
说你爱我 Now
不要想也不要猜 听听你的心
是不是 说你爱我 Now
任性的我作自己 任性的我爱上你
一切发生在这一秒 爱上你 要你爱我 Now
Now
说你也爱我 Now
说你爱我 Now Now
爱像一次旅行 遇到谁不知道
说你爱我 Now
说你也爱我 Now
说你爱我 Now Now
