Moonrise (Dadawa album)

Moonrise (月出) is the fifth studio album by Chinese singer Dadawa (朱哲琴), which is the result of a five month tour of Chinese ethnic minority regions in 2009, investigating minority music. The album is based on and inspired by the music discovered in China's Guizhou province, Yunnan province, Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.

This is her first album without long-term collaborator, He Xuntian and the first to be self-produced.

The album features music mainly written by Inner Mongolian musician Zulan, with lyrics drawn from Chinese classics such as The Book of Songs and ethnic minority folk songs. One track, "Mountain Top" has lyrics by the 6th Dalai Lama.

Dadawa also has guest vocalists on the album for the first time. These are for the most part members of the ethnic minorities which inspired the music. These are referred to as "Ethnic Music Masters" on the album packaging. The album also features samples from the original minority folk music.

Final Fight

Final Fight (Japanese: ファイナルファイト, Hepburn: Fainaru Faito) is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up video game produced by Capcom. Originally released as an arcade game in 1989, it was the seventh title released for the CP System hardware. Set in the fictional Metro City, the player controls one of three characters: former pro wrestler and mayor Mike Haggar, his daughter's boyfriend Cody, and Cody's best friend Guy, as they set out to defeat the Mad Gear gang and rescue Haggar's young daughter Jessica.

The game began development as a sequel to the original Street Fighter released in 1987, but the genre was switched from a fighting game to a beat 'em up and the title was changed following the success of Double Dragon. Final Fight was ported to various home consoles such as the SNES and was followed by a few sequels. Its development team later worked on the original Street Fighter II and some of the characters from Final Fight later appeared as playable fighters in other entries of the franchise such as the Street Fighter Alpha sub-series.
