By2 Releases New Single “No Reason”
Taiwan-based Singaporean pop duo, By2, is back with their latest single, “No Reason” <没理由>. It has been a year since the release of their last music effort, the mini album 2020 <2020愛你愛你>, which was released by Ocean Butterflies Music in August 2012.
“No Reason” is a dance pop track that garners influences from America’s house-pop style, a genre of electronic dance music. Famous Taiwanese lyricist, Lin Tsu Chin (林子欽), helmed the song’s lyrics. “No Reason” also has an English version – titled “Stereo” – which was first performed at the Metro Radio Mandarin Hits Music Awards in Hong Kong on August 12, 2013.
The song is tagged as the lead single for the duo’s upcoming fifth full-length Mandarin-language studio album Paradise <MY.遊樂園>, which will be released on September 18, 2013. Unlike the duo’s previous albums, Paradise incorporates dance pop melodies and fast electronic tracks.
The album also includes “Love Has Come” <愛情來找碴>, a single for the soundtrack of Love Me or Leave Me <我租了一個情人>, a Taiwanese idol drama.
By2 comprises of 21-year-old twins Miko (白緯芬) and Yumi (白緯玲), who have debuted under Ocean Butterflies in 2008. The twins released their debut album, NC 16 <16未成年>, on July 28, 2008, to outstanding reviews.

these girls are quite pretty
They’re pretty and young, but their song (at least the one in the article) is all autotune. Do they actually know how to sing?
they have some really good songs listen to their 2020 album. i think no reason was just a bad song 🙁
Are they twin sisters??? I have never heard of them and hope that they have actual talent and not just looks.
They are probably natural beauties but I still see PS. They have the same innocent and naive look like Angelababy…which is the popular look in Asia. What’s so great when everybody’s look resemble eachother?
They are not natural beauties. You should see how mika and yuki looked like when they first debuted at age 16.
They don’t even look the same in other photos lol. Must be PS for the above picture.
No wonder they look sooo alike to the point that I thought they were twin sisters. They really do have typical PS look. Boy, that look is getting really boring.
They are twins but they also had plastic surgery. Shame though, they were pretty cute before it.
Thank you! That was my first thought too. Angelababy and Kibby Lau and whatnot. They all look the same and basically turned what should be “Beautiful” into “Plastic Clones.”
Not bad… would like to hear more of the album. At least it’s not the typical ballad/melodramatic music that seems to flow from female artists from Hong Kong.
Has a very “euro” dance feel. I wonder if the rest of the album follows suit… and if it does, hopefully the tracks don’t all sound the same (which is a common problem with this kind of music).
By2, are they same company with JJ Lin?. I thought one time JJ Lin mentioned they are his 师妹？。
Guys don’t say these things about by2 ! their new song is really so beautiful go to see the MV and then talk also they created their own dances they create new dance called ” iron legs dance ” and then can do hard splits and they working hard to be the best also they got many of wounds in their legs to just be so perfect and they are the best band ever don’t just think they are just beautiful they are so talent since they were kids they know everything about music they can play piano and guitar and many hard things and when they did this album they asked their teacher to give them the most hardest moves to make the MV perfect now their legs have wounds but they hide it and they are so kind !
