I suspect he means: 杨宗纬

Can anyone translate that to English? I know a smidgeon of German and French, can count to ten in Russian...etc...but there is no Chinese/Japanese in there (my brain, I mean).

Thanks.

"杨宗纬" is probably "Aska Yang", a Taiwanese Mandopop singer.

So the original might read: "I was listening to [Aska Yang] with my amazing..."

Not sure how that is a placeholder though.
