About them
It seems like the online portal has unleashed yet another awesome talent. This time, they go by the name of BY2. They've got a voice beyond their age and dance moves to match. These Singaporean born-and-bred twin sisters, Yumi Bai and Miko Bai, know what it takes to cause ripples on the digital platform.
They have visited and resided in 3 eye-opening cities in Asia - Taipei, Tokyo and Beijing and picked up the valuable skills and lessons from elites all over the region. And they sure know how to beat the master at their own game.
BY2's debut in China's by2girl.51.com has resulted in jaw-dropping numbers! Within just 24 hours of their launch, they garnered over 350,000 views and 11,500 comments from registered users. They even overhauled popular artists like S.H.E, F.I.R and Mayday on Taiwan's #2 Star Blogger community PIXNET Hall of Fame! Their breathtaking dances have also caught the attention of millions all over Taiwan, Singapore, China and Malaysia.
"No singer from Singapore has started out and managed to conquer the entire Chinese pop market... they really stood out with their bubbly charm, dance moves and unique bond", said the duo's label Regional A&R Manager, Billy Koh.
BY2 - One flavour, two sensations
Differentiating them
One obvious way of differentiating BY2 is by looking at their hairstyle. Miko jie's (right) hairstyle has a side parting making her look more mature whereas Yumi mei's (left) hairstyle has a horizontal fringe.making her look young and vibrant.
Another way that BY2 themselves jokingly claims is Miko has smaller eyes and bigger lips while Yumi has a rounder face. Miko also has double eyelids which may get quite faint when tired.
Origin of band/group name
Nope it's not 白兔 (rabbit) neither is it B-Y-2 but BY2. So why BY2? Reason being both twin sisters are surname Bai (duh) and there are 2 of them, hence the band/group name BY2!
Another term many calls them are 宅男杀手 (otaku killer). Watch videos uploaded by TW fan club on YouTube and you should know what I mean.

3. Journey to stardom
It really was a rough journey for BY2 to reach to what they are today. Humiliation, criticism and worst of all death of their loved one. It all started when they were 14, Ocean Butterflies Music had organised a rigorous course-to-fame for their students.
It's not as simple as *snap* they were in the course, they had to go through auditions and out of the 2000+ people who auditioned, only 84 was chosen, this includes BY2. Hence under 4 months, BY2 undergo a rigorous training trying to improve their singing and dancing proving to everyone their passion and love for music. Often they would display their talents in front of a large audience of students in a bid to boost their stage morale. Sometimes, they would also be used as an example for their mistakes, how embarassing. ><
After closing in on the graduation of the course, a few were chosen for 奖学金班 (the winning class) for their amazing performances. And of course, BY2 was chosen again, only 14 were allowed access in this class.
Unfortunately, not everything was smooth sailing. BY2's father was announced to have cancer and needed to be hospitalised. This made BY2 have difficulties paying the fees for their lessons at Music Forest. Thankfully, when Ocean Butterflies Music heard of this, they immediately lend out a helping hand by allowing the payment to be in interests to help lighten their financial burden. Just when things couldn't get any worse, the worse had happened. BY2's father passed away at April 2007. When he was still alive, his last wish was for BY2 for them to be accomplished singers. BY2 held that in mind and continued to strive hard to achieve that goal for their father to see! And hence what you see today.
Not so soon after that, Ocean Butterflies Music handpicked out these students who graduated from the course to compete in a competition held in Malaysia called the PK赛. However, when it was their turn, while dancing and singing, Miko's shoelace snapped (they were wearing high heels), this intensified the nervousness felt between the twins. Luckily, they quickly calmed themselves down and continued to perform the best they can. This made the judges sing praises for them and thus they were awarded the second place. What's even better was, Ocean Butterflies Music saw their talent and passion for music that they offered them a chance to be in the entertainment industry! They were going to be celebrities!
BY2's diligence did not just end there, they continued working hard to make their dream a reality. Their career required them to stop their studies and fly to overseas for training. Their first location was Taiwan, they had intensive singing and dance training, then it was Japan. Down at Japan, they were taught even more advanced dance moves. They worked so hard that they only slept for lesser than 4hrs everyday! Ouch~
BY2 Twins learning dance in Japan:
Unfortunately, this was when the criticism started pouring in. As the offer was made during BY2's secondary graduating year, they had to fly off and drop their O level exams. News reports of this were splashed all across Asia. And now they are also recognised as the celebs who dropped O levels for their entertainment career.
- Summarised from Isreal's Blog 4. Affiliations
Ocean Butterflies Music is a major record firm working with many celebrities including JJ Lin, AA-Do, Kit Chan and of course, BY2. But what we will be looking to is JJ Lin. Like BY2, he is a fellow Singaporean and they worked with each other on a song titled 不潮不用花錢 (bu cao bu yong hua qian). Yepp, this is also why BY2 always calls JJ as their 师兄.

Lyrics:
眼 还在偷瞄些什麽 口在碎碎念什麽
不能说的秘密还哽咽在喉咙
你的戏演的好弱 你的招术又好旧
So tell me baby whatre you waiting for?
早就该自首 早就应该知道情网恢恢疏而不漏的
强词了太多 没有用
瞳孔缩放掩不住爱情的计谋
指纹在我手心里留下你的心动
DNA说明了你动机跟理由
证据摊在你面前 还有什麽话好说
你的戏演的好弱 你的招术又好旧
So tell me baby whatre you waiting for?
早就该自首 早就应该知道情网恢恢疏而不漏的
强词了太多 没有用
瞳孔缩放掩不住爱情的计谋
指纹在我手心里留下你的心动
DNA说明了你动机跟理由
证据摊在你面前 还有什麽话好说
瞳孔缩放掩不住爱情的计谋
指纹在我手心里留下你的心动
DNA说明了你动机跟理由
证据摊在你面前 还有什麽话好说
瞳孔缩放掩不住爱情的计谋
指纹在我手心里留下你的心动
DNA说明了你动机跟理由
证据摊在你面前 还有什麽话好说
新少女祈祷:
Lyrics:
为何今晚偶像剧要停播
为何总有挤不完的痘痘 喔
为何这包包跟她们背的 花样不同
我的多啦ㄟ梦 何时会来救我
别让我烦脑 吃了什么之后 会变胖会变更丑
祈祷我的追求者不是猪头
祈祷我的他偏偏也暗恋着我
烂桃花是否太多太多
需要算一算面相和星座
祈祷我的偶像不再乱拍拖
我要的新鞋刚好有人送我
祈祷我不会太快长大
我还有太多未完成的梦
我知道:
Lyrics:
从来没想过
不能再和你牵手
委屈时候
没有你陪着我心痛
一切都是我太过骄纵
以为你会懂
一直忘了说
我有多感动
我知道你还是爱着我
虽然分开的理由
我们都以接受
你知道我会有多难过
所以即使到最后
还微笑着要我加油
我知道你还放不下我
才会在离开时
闭着眼没有回头
答应你 我会好好过
不让 这些眼泪白流
勇敢:
Lyrics:
日夜颠倒 梦和现实 对调
谁能带我 飞跃幸福 远方
闭上双眼 用心感应 仿佛听得到
是你为我 留下的暗号
当我 紧握你的手 你是耀眼的星火
就让梦想编织王者世界 照亮整个宇宙
当你 握紧我的手 我变勇敢的星火
和你一起闪耀 到世界尽头
放弃太早 和你约好 跟时间赛跑
用爱破解 最后的诅咒
当我 紧握你的手 你是耀眼的星火
就让梦想编织王者世界 照亮整个宇宙
当你 握紧我的手 我变勇敢的星火
和你一起闪耀 到世界尽头
和你一起到永远 不分手
Don't Go Away (CN):
Lyrics:
你还是走了 我有点不舍
该说点什么
我不是哭了 是阳光折射
眼睛也 红了颜色
不懂 为什么快乐 像冰淇淋 口中
溶化得 特别 冲动
不懂 为什么树叶 染红的时候
就到要分手
Dont, dont go away
我还舍不得 你不要走
Dont, dont go away
从来不曾一个人 生活
有人分享才值得 拥有
我还在听着 你写过的歌
留言在部落格
成长的选择 没有过预设
像苹果 一样青涩
不懂 为什么快乐 像冰淇淋 口中
溶化得 特别 冲动
不懂 为什么树叶 染红的时候
就到要分手
Dont, dont go away
我还舍不得 你不要走
Dont, dont go away
从来不曾一个人 生活
能不能够 让时间回头
So dont, dont go away
Dont, dont go away
我还舍不得 你不要走
Dont, dont go away
从来不曾一个人 生活
有人分享才值得 拥有
Don't Go Away (EN):
Lyrics:
Looking through your eyes, there's nothing to hide
And you're no longer mine
How could I survive when you say goodbye
Why do birds still fly up high?
Can't stop the tears from falling
We used to be so fine when you walked into my life
I tried to reach out for you just to be with you
My heart is breaking
Don't Don't Go Away
Baby, don't you know, I miss you so.
Don't Don't Go Away,
I've never been on my own before.
Wooh. Oh.
Can't you hear me just take me with you
So don't don't go away
Don't Don't Go Away,
Baby, don't you know, I miss you so.
Don't Don't Go Away,
I've never been on my own before.
So won't you feel my heartbeat once more
