Singing trio MKB48

Under her Mandarin Chinese name of Chan Yat Ling, she is part of a singing trio called MKB48, or Mega Karaoke Bitches 48,[6] named because the trio wished to disband when they reach the age of 48 years. They have revived Legend, previously sung by Raidas in the 80s, and When I Think of You by Danny Chan.[7] [8] The remake of Legend has been described as the "song of the year ... (MKB48) "is once again inflaming the hearts of fans."[9] Legend (1987) was "a classic work of integrating Chinese musical instruments with the popular British new wave style of the 80s."[10] As of May 2017, MKB48 was considering a tour, after a successful performance in Guangzhou.[11]
