Fahrenheit celebrates concert success; Chun also injured

Fahrenheit celebrates their concert success with guest star Jade Liu

Fahrenheit’s 2 concerts in Hong Kong have successfully come to an end, and although the outside world thinks that their “sincerity is greater than their singing”, the 4 worked extremely hard, and their spirit is to be commended. However, during the second concert, Chun hurt his back and Jiro’s knee injury got worse, to the extent where the minute he got offstage, he had to be given assistance to help him walk.

Jiro’s knee has had a cartilage injury for half a month, but he gritted his teeth and pulled through the 2 concerts. While onstage, he looked as lively as ever, and noone could see anything wrong with him. However, the minute he got offstage, his whole body became limp and needed someone’s shoulder to support him to walk. However, today, he still has a spokesperson event to attend, and tomorrow he has to fly to Mongolia. His management company is considering to arrange a wheelchair for him.

A bruise is clearly visible on Chun’s back

Chun also injured himself during the second concert. When the concert started he bounced out onstage, but his back accidentally hit the side of the stage, and it immediately swelled up. However, he still managed to pull through the concert, and during the celebration party afterwards, he spiked up his shirt, and indeed a bruise was visible on his back. He also said that he thought single-handedly holding onto the wire while the other hand performing samurai sword “really was very hard!” Also, due to the fans’ enthusiasm, all 4 members of Fahrenheit had numerous scratches on their arms, and even Jiro’s lips got cut.

Although Fahrenheit practiced very hard for the performances area, but their singing still needs work. During the start of the concert on the previous night, they sung a bit off-tune, and their rap part also needs work; indeed there is still room for improvement in their singing. Aaron said, “The most important thing is that we have improved.” Calvin very confidently said, “Our solo singing was OK, but when it came to group singing, because we didn’t have much time to practise together, it wasn’t very harmonized.”

Fahrenheit’s Hong Kong concert

After entering the entertainment industry for nearly 3 years, Fahrenheit chose Hong Kong to hold their concert and show the world that they do have talent, in the aim to change everyone’s impression that they use looks and constant rumors with girls to be where they are now. Fans screamed non-stop at the 4 handsome guys, and the amazing performances they gave, however at one point, Chun got his left and right shoes mixed up, and it looked a bit awkward when he was thrusting his sword out.

On the 26th and 27th, Fahrenheit held 2 concerts at the Hong Kong Expo, and attracted over 20,000 fans. The 4 are already very popular in Hong Kong, and this time, tickets were sold out very fast. In the 2 nights, fans yelled till their voices were hoarse; the 4’s charm and hotness dazzled everyone, and they had a total of 6 outfits during the concert, but surprisingly they did not reveal too much skin.

There was huge momentum on the stage and special effects continued non-stop; it really was an amazing show. Fahrenheit entered the stage wearing ‘Final Fantasy’ outfits, waving their light swords. Then when the atmosphere changed, they began singing slow songs. Then balloons were released, and this warmed up a romantic atmosphere, and even Aaron, who is scared of heights joined his fellow brothers and they sat on a machine, which rose to 5-stories high.

Fahrenheit seemed to want to break their “flower vase” image, as they together formed a band to show off their musical talents. Aaron played the keyboard, Jiro played the guitar, Chun played drums and Calvin showed off his beat-boxing skills. Jiro, whos knee was still injured, gave an outstanding performance as he played both an electric guitar, and a wooden guitar. Aaron played the keyboard, and at the same time, sung a duet with Jade Liu. Fahrenheit also arranged a retro-style part of the concert, where they sung old traditional songs, and danced wistfully.

During the concert, Chun had a flying scene, and he dresses up as a black warrior, one hand hanging onto the wire, and the other hand waving a samurai sword. It was only 8 seconds, but it cost a massive 500,000$TW. After this, he combined martial arts and performed a sword dance, but then it was noticed that he had got his left and right shoes mixed up, and this impeded him from performing even better.

After the concert, Fahrenheit said, “We waited 3 years, and now we have finally achieved our dream. We have worked really hard to prepare for this concert, thank you to everyone who has accompanied us on the journey to achieve our dream.” Charlene Choi, Chun’s dad and Chun’s brother all came along to the first concert to cheer them on, and the site was surrounded by the media, causing disturbance.

Fantasy…3 more days to go!

Last week, I had a dream!

A dream about me participating in a basketball tournament representing my country, Brunei. Maybe this dream is derived from my past tournament experience or maybe its implying that I had stop watching basketball games since MJ retired until recently that I have been watching the Olympic basketball games again.

Oh my god! The Olympic finals between United States and Spain… What a beautiful and exciting game! I was screaming from the beginning til the end because the team spirits of both teams are so good that both teams are considered winners to me!

Well… Let’s talk about my dream?

I dreamt of myself being part of Brunei basketball team but this time, it’s a little different! Guess what??? I realised I’ve got ‘More More More’ supporters… haha! The feeling is so different but it’s GREAT! Participating in tournaments at different countries and could still see all familiar faces!!! How I wish there will be a day like this and I am sure our feelings will be very different… I will love it for sure! Maybe you will love to see a real man who hates giving up and competes to become a winner!

Sigh…I MISS this game! I miss the excitement of walking into the court before every game, miss the challenge and the joy of winning a game and most importantly, the importance of team spirit working hard towards a goal!

Lately, I have been busy preparing for my Debut movie ‘ Butterfly Lovers’ which will be shown on the 9th Oct and our 2008 FAHRENHEIT 1st Asia Fantasy tour concerts… Been listening to songs from our first album and it really brings back lots of ‘TOUCHING’ memories. Although our supporters have increased over the years, never will I forget old ones but of course, I will also welcome new ones… haha!

Our preparations for our concert really killed a lot of my brain cells recently because in such a short time, we need to memorize all the lyrics, dance moves and other performance! Very nervous but I think I have gained more confidence performing on the stage now compared to before Looking at the rundown of our concert, i just couldn’t wait to have a great time with you guys…Lots of Fun and Excitement! It’s something that we worked real hard from day 1 and I believe standing on the stage sharing what we have learnt for the past few years is gonna be a very touching moment! Well, there is always a 1st time for everything so this is it… It’s the first and who knows what kind of surprise will happen ?

2008 APEA Young Entrepreneur of the year – An Award which I never think of…hahaa! Many times, you just have to do your best and things will come to you and this is exactly what happened now ? I believe that passion drives to success in business or anything that you wanna do. I’ve always wanted to build a world-class fitness club that allows Bruneians to enjoy the intrinsic rewards of changing ones lives through fitness. That’s why I have a great passion for this job as much as today as I did when I was just starting out. This award is not only an inspiration for me to go further but also a drive for all young people to go after their dream! Hey, ?? ?Don’t give up, ya!

Last of all, Wretch has always been the site for you guys to know more about me and its also where i started blogging and got to know more of you better! Unfortunately, our company has set up a new website…

www.fahrenciti.com

All my future blog entries will be posted here. It’s accessible for everyone and i really hope we can still stay connected through this new site and continue to exchange our experiences, and to motivate one another to challenge the life ahead of us

Fahrenheit: Raising Temperatures

Following the phenomenal success of the Taiwanese group F4, a new iconic group has been sweeping fans off their feet around Asia.

Fahrenheit, comprising Aaron Yan, Wu Zun, Calvin Chen and Jiro Wang, is currently one of the hottest Chinese acts in the entertainment scene and is known as the ‘super boy band of the new millennium’.

The boys released their self-titled debut album in September 2006, and have been enjoying a roller-coaster ride to stardom ever since, with award-winning albums, highly-rated television drama series, multi-million endorsements and upcoming movies.

They were the first new foreign boy band to win bronze (third placing) for Best Group at the Hong Kong TVB8 Awards and quickly conquered even the non-mainstream Chinese territories such as Indonesia, Thailand, Japan and Korea.

Fahrenheit became the second Taiwanese boy band, after its predecessors F4, to hold a concert in Indonesia with only just one album released. The boys have also held mini concerts in Medan, North Sumatra and in Hong Kong And even fans from as far away as North America and Europe are sitting up and taking notice.

Last year, Fahrenheit held two concerts, one in Hong Kong and the other in Guangzhou and now, they are coming to Malaysia.

Fahrenheit’s Fantasy World Tour Live in Malaysia 2008 is scheduled to kick off on Nov 15, 2008 at Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur. Organised by Big Events, a ticket pre-sale event will be held at Sungai Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur tomorrow.

Fans who buy tickets within the first three hours (1pm to 3pm) stand the chance to win a 3-day, 2-night trip to Hongkong in a lucky draw.

In addition, there will also be interactive games played on stage with concert tickets and other exciting prizes to be won.

A radio station (988), would also be running contests, whereby prizes include concert tickets and the chance to meet the boys in person as well as a fully-paid trip to Hongkong to watch Fahrenheit’s concert there scheduled for Sept 26 and 27.

Fans attending Fahrenheit’s Malaysian concert, which will showcase their individual talents as well as in a group, can expect to be blown away as fun, fun and more fun are promised by the energetic foursome.

After the Malaysian date, Fahrenheit will commence its tour to Singapore before continuing to China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Thailand and Indonesia.
