I think the album is titled "Follow Me" (as is one of the songs), possibly being released on July 30, 2013 in a CD+DVD format with 6 songs?

I'm guessing a lot based on a few iffy online translations, so. Grain of salt, for anyone that cares about this release. The Chinese under spoilers:

- There will be 7 songs total on the album, but the 7th song is just a mixture of the original 6.
- Aiko's little sister appears in the "Ai Xin Da Wu Xian" music video (in the play tunnel at 1:20, and at the very end where she has a speaking part).
- Their official Weibo has given a link to download all the songs for free, but you apparently have to download an application and be able to sign in.

^ There's one more preview up (seems to be a song about bath time or something ), but I can't post it right now.

They look really cute in the "Deng Daren" video though. Looking forward to the full version of that one.

Have some album promotion.

Embedding these two because it was fun hearing them try to speak other languages, even if just for introductions.

October 19, 2013
After the opening song, the hosts speak to them and Frances introduces herself in French.


Same show, Aiko introduces herself in Japanese before they perform the title song from their latest album, "Follow Me".


Videos from a promotional event the day before the album was released. The band Sweety made an appearance.

I completely forgot that Frances had a role in "Skip Beat!"; imagine my surprise as I'm watching and this happens.


Edit: Having seen her a little more now it's nice to see that she's gotten better since the first time I saw her act in a drama. Hopefully it continues, because she's far from being bad (and it would be fun to see her slowly take on older roles).
