At the concert this time, Fahrenheit will restructure a rock band, Jiro Wang will play the guitar, Wu Zun will show his drums skills, Aaron Yan plays the piano, and Calvin Chen performs B-BOX.

Besides, Fahrenheit also plans to perform a Fahrenheit version of ‘Shuang Jie Gun’ (Nunchaku) and their seniors S.H.E songs at the countdown concert.

Yesterday, the stereoscopic effect chart of the concert stage was officially revealed. The organizer invested a huge amount of money to make a rectangular stage which is 45m long and 15m wide. Besides the four LED colour panels above the stage, the stage floor is also put together by super large LED colour panels.

translator note : ‘Shuang Jie Gun’ is a song written and sung by Jay Chou. well, in my opinion i feel that the song is difficult to sing due to the rap part. in case u dont know how the song sounds, you can listen it here: http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=GpeXGFWnJSQ

Aaron Yan reveals his hurt from previous relationship; Calvin Chen pesters Wu Zun to introduce Brunei girlfriend

Fahrenheit’s Aaron Yan yesterday celebrated his 23rd birthday, but he expressed that his heart has become cold, and does not want to think about relationships anymore. 1 year ago, his relationship ended because he found out that she was taking advantage of his money, and he lost over 200,000TWD. Hence, in the short-term, he does not want to get into any more relationships, and wishes to put work and friends infront of love; his birthday wish is to buy a sports car.

Aaron expressed that this relationship lasted for 3-4 months, but as he devoted a lot of feelings, he also devoted a lot of money. The opposite party said she wanted a notebook, so he immediately bought her a 7000TWD Hermes-branded notebook. In the end, he realized that she was only with him because he was an artist and had money. Aaron became an “idiot brother” and he revealed that he was indeed very hurt.

Calvin, who’s birthday is on the 10th, also celebrated together with Aaron yesterday. He expressed that turning 28, he really wishes to put marriage first, and have a stable relationship: “I hope I can get married between the age of 28-30, but right now, can’t see the slightest shadow.” Chun added, “I thought I could get married at 25, but now I am already 29 la!” Calvin immediately hung onto Chun and pestered him to introduce a Brunei girl to him, and Chun promised to stick a marriage notice on his fitness center back in Brunei for him, so to let Calvin become a Brunei son-in-law within 2 years.

Calvin Wants to Cut up Wu Chun’s Clothes , Fahrenheit Willing to be Scratch

For their fans, Calvin wanted to cut up Wu Chun’s clothes?

When asked by the OVB reporters on whether they would take off their clothes during the concert because of the hot weather in Singapore, Wu Chun said: [Actually during the concert, when we get really HIGH, we would
forget everything in that moment. It is possible that we may take it off! Once we are on stage, we are transformed into a different person, not knowing what we are doing ourselves. If the heavy and thick clothing cannot be taken off…then we will just rip it off!] The other two broke out in laughter upon hearing this.

Calvin also said that actually some of the clothes for the concerts were already washed to the point of being somewhat “sexy”. Furthermore, there were a lot of white shirts which would probably become “transparent” that day. It appeared that the effect of being thinly veiled was the sexiness that Fahrenheit wanted to show. In the end, Calvin teased Wu Chun: [Before the show starts, maybe I should bring a pair of scissors and cut a couple more holes into Wu Chun’s clothing.]

[Fahrenheit had already released two albums but a lot of people was still wondering and had suspicions toward how Fahrenheit could give a concert. However we (Fahrenheit) had been in the business for three years already, so we hope to receive affirmation for all our hard work and determination.] – Arron Yan

That’s right. This was Arron Yan’s sincere reply during the press conference for the [Fahrenheit Fantasy Concert]. Although missing one member of the four, Fahrenheit announced their concert in Singapore would be held on December 19th, not only would make their fans crazy but also allowing the Singaporean media to see Fahrenheit’s improvement and diligence.

Fahrenheit Willing to be Scratch by Fans

To set Hong Kong as the first stop of their concert tour truly made the four of them extremely apprehensive. During the concert, there were numerous adorable mishaps. Nerves, fear and moving moments all gave Fahrenheit a myriad of mixed emotions. Thinking back to the “thrills” experienced during the Fantasy concert, it was small wonder that to this point, Fahrenheit was still saying: [We are very nervous each time we go on stage.]

In order for their fans to know Fahrenheit better, the four also prepared individual solo segments. Wu Chun in particular had felt deeply because to make his entrance, he had to pull a wire with his hand and flew out from a 3-storey height. If he loosened his grip even slightly would be disastrous. This level of danger made Wu Chun exclaimed: [It was scary!]

Of course, the thrill & chill factor corresponded with the amazement factor. To give a concert that made all the fans stood up from beginning to end, probably only Fahrenheit was capable of doing so. Therefore, Arron Yan’s response to the incident of “being scratched”: [Very touching…actually we are also quite willing to be scratch by them.]

Amazing Revelations of Fahrenheit’s Hotel Rooms

It seemed that normally when they arrived to any hotel, they would compete about who would be the quickest to call Room Service! However, in several occasions, Wu Chun beat them all. There was one time that Wu Chun even ordered all the pumpkin soup available, which led to Calvin exclaiming: [Do you drink it by the barrel?] Actually, the longer the four of them were together, other than their relationship became even better, even many of their habits became similar!

In their hotel rooms, all four had their individual differences. Mr. Nice Guy Wu Chun liked his room neat and tidy, so that he would feel relaxed in it. As
for Arron Yan, he said: [My room is probably the messiest. If I am tired upon returning to my room, I would throw my clothes everywhere. In the end, the next morning, I would find myself sleeping in the midst of a pile of clothing.]

Yet it was Jiro Wang’s room that was most interesting! Because Jiro liked brightly colored boxers but he did not like having Room Services to clean his room, so the result was the underpants inside the room would “flutter” like national flags.

This Christmas is going to be sizzling hot

SINGAPORE: Promising a musical extravaganza, Taiwanese boyband Fahrenheit is bringing an early Christmas present to fans with their first ever Singapore concert this December.

Singapore is the second leg of Fahrenheit’s “Fantasy World Tour”, after a leg injury suffered by band member Jiro forced a postponement of the concert in Malaysia and Shanghai. The pop group had kicked off their “Fantasy World Tour” in Hong Kong on September 26, with a two-day gig.

The dashing foursome are a trio for now as Jiro, who is suffering from a torn knee ligament, was still missing in action when the group was in town recently to promote their concert.

However, fans who are worried that Jiro’s injury will lead to changes in the concert have nothing to fear.

In a video recording screened at the press conference, Jiro, looking energetic and upbeat, said he will definitely be in Singapore for their concert as scheduled. In the meantime, he will be following the doctor’s advice to avoid strenuous exercises and concentrate on physiotherapy.

The other three members assure fans that Jiro’s injury will not affect the quality of the concert, and dance routines will go on as planned.

The band comprising Calvin, Jiro, Wu Zun and Aaron made their debut in 2006 and to date, have two Mandarin albums under their belt.

Describing what each of them brings to the group, Calvin said: “Jiro is very dynamic, and shines whenever he is on stage.

“Wu Zhun is the responsible, serious one in the group. He is a good example to us, and guides us along…while Aaron is very intense onstage and will always seek perfection.

“As for me, I’m the one who will encourage them!”

As for the upcoming concerts, fans are in for a treat as the quartet will offer something to fantasize about.

Wu Zhun coyly suggested that the audience may get to see more of them, literally, during the concert.

“Before going on stage, I’ll be very nervous but once I get on stage, I’ll transform into another person and may do surprising things - things that I’m also not aware of,” he replied when asked if they will be showing off their well-built physiques, which should raise the Singapore heat by a few notches.

The group also promised to entertain with different themes at their upcoming concert and say fans may be surprised by their new hairdos, which were lurking underneath the caps they were sporting.

What’s really special though will be the lighting effects and spectacular stage that will allow fans to experience some up close and personal interaction with the quartet.

Other than performing their usual hits, Fahrenheit plans to incorporate elements of Broadway into the show and unreleased songs from their upcoming album.

As for all the critics who question Fahrenheit’s singing abilities, this is what the group has to say.

“We are constantly improving and now that our vocal teachers know we are holding a concert, they have been especially tough on us,” Aaron said.

Calvin added, “We’ve been putting in a lot of effort and time on the concert, which is very important to us… And I would give us 100 marks for all our efforts.”

In an interview with xin.sg, the group said: “The concert is a chance to show what we have learnt throughout these three years.

“It is an opportunity for us to share our joys and achievement…and appreciation to our fans.”

Fahrenheit’s “Fantasy World Tour” runs on December 19 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Tickets are available at SISTIC.

In Singapore to promote concert, Wu Zun reveals Jiro’s embarrassing moment

Jiro Wang loves to wear colourful boxers, and even hang them in the rooms like ‘flags’?

Due to his leg injury, Jiro Wang was missing in the promotions of Singapore ‘Fahrenheit’s Fantasy World Tour’; his members took the opportunity to expose his embarrassing moments at the press conference. Wu Zun laughed and said, “Jiro has a lot of boxers in different colours, if you enter his room you will see boxers hanging all around like flags.” Calvin Chen also exposed Jiro Wang’s ‘weird habit’, “He likes privacy, so every time we go overseas he don’t allow anyone to enter his room to clear, his room always has the ‘Do not disturb’ sign hanging. And his room is very hot! Because he wants to protect his throat, the room is set to a higher temperature.”

Although Jiro Wang was not able to make it but he recorded a short clip to greet the Singapore people. In the clip, he looks energetic and with a smile he said, “Very sorry that I’m not able to come to Singapore this time round because the doctor instructed me to have a good rest. I’ll be back to my previous condition on the concert on 19 December and display my handsome dance moves for everyone to see.”

The 3 guys of Fahrenheit likes to bully Jiro Wang but they still care for their brother’s injury, Aaron Yan said, “He works too hard, previously he already injured his leg when he had to run around while wearing hard sole boots for the filming, but he still continued to finish the Hong Kong concert. I was injured previously so I know the situation, every time after performing will remind him to use ice pack, ask if he felt any hotness around his injured area, worry about infection.”

Singapore ‘Fahrenheit’s Fantasy World Tour’ concert is the second stop, Fahrenheit revealed that Singapore fans might have ‘special treatment’, Aaron Yan said, “We will release our new album in December, so there might be some difference in the song list this time. (Will be singing the new songs?) There is a possibility.”

Wu Zun even revealed that they might wear ‘transparent clothes’ and give a striptease, “Singapore is so hot, will sweat a lot, clothes will become transparent, if it’s high enough might as well take off the clothes! If can’t take off then tear it!”

2nd stop of World Tour, Fahrenheit, “Still anxious”

Fahrenheit is still anxious about the upcoming concert even after going through the 2 concerts held in Hong Kong.

Wu Zun revealed, “Definitely will be anxious, every concert is different, audience will also be different, even if the performance item had been done before we will also want to do it better, so will have pressure. However we will enjoy after we got on stage, the reactions of the audience will make us feel at ease.”

At the concert every member will have solo performance, when Wu Zun performed the martial arts in Hong Kong there were a lot of situations, he strained his back, wore the wrong shoes and these made him anxious, “I was actually very anxious when I perform, besides having to coordinate with the dancers on the moves, still have to hang on the wires to slide down from a high point, I have to support my body weight single-handedly, if I missed then its over.”

Fahrenheit praise Singapore fans for being orderly

Fahrenheit praise Singapore fans for being obedient, orderly and warm-hearted.

During the press conference yesterday, Calvin Chen said, “We were wondering if we were already in Singapore when we were at the Malaysia airport. Because those who appeared were Singapore fans, they specially flew over to Malaysia then flew back to Singapore with us. When we reached the Singapore airport, we got to get into the car very fast. Singapore airport is the shortest time we use to get into the car, fans are really very orderly.

Fans were also orderly at the ticket autograph session, although they shouted loudly but the scene was not messy, Calvin Chen said, “The last time we signed until the mall closed and it was still not finished, very happy that it is successful this time, finish signing for everyone very fast.”
