Illegally entering the departure area, hired cars to chase, staying at their hotel, 300 fans welcome them enthusiastically at the airport! Last night Fahrenheit arrived in Singapore; Wu Chun felt unwell but still smiled towards fans while Jiro was ecstatic and was busytaking photos!
Yesterday “Popular idol group” Fahrenheit took flight SQ877 at night fall from Taipei to the Lion City [i.e. Singapore]. In the morning, at Changi Airport the area for awaiting arrivals no. 2 had been completely empty but as Fahrenheit’s arrival in Singapore approached, more and more fans appeared there until 7:15 - the moment when Fahrenheit appeared in public, then there were about 300 fans there. The place was filled with continuous screaming but the fans welcoming them seemed to be less than before. A fan was interviewed and said, “They were meant to arrive on Thursday [today], but suddenly changed their schedule so many fans weren’t aware.”
Last month Fahrenheit “three less one”, came to Singapore to promote their concert. At the time, because Jiro Wang’s (Dadong) leg injury had not yet recovered, had to be absent at the event at the last minute. Last night, fangirls from Dadong’s Singapore Forum “Dong Cheng Rise Again” rushed to the airport to get a good “Feng Shui position”. With flowers and also large banners, they were very thoughtful and as soon as they saw Dadong, they could not cover up their excitement, screaming from all around!
It was evident that the four Fahrenheit boys were in a good mood; even though they were not dressed up [very formally], they allowed videos and photos. When they walked through the departure gate, Jiro was ecstatic, busily taking photos and talking with nearby “pretty girl” fans. Less than a month since the last time he was here, Arron Yan who has recently been filming seemed considerably skinnier. Yesterday he wore a black, sunglasses and boots - a very cool outfit causing many fans to sigh: so handsome! On the other hand, Wu Chun who is usually very enthusiastic, seemed particularly quiet and shy. “Chun is not feeling too well, headache. So his condition isn’t too good, but the other three are feeling great.”
Also, it was reported that in one breath, Fahrenheit fans over 10 taxis pursuing their idols all the way to the hotel. In particular, a few fans even checked-in at the hotel, in the hopes that they would be able to “interact all day” with the four guys!
Fahrenheit return to hotel and eat lots
Before the concert, they don’t go on a special diet; once Fahrenheit returned to the hotel, the workers were busy buying food: chicken rice, laksa, pizza, etc.
Tomorrow night will be their first concert here in Singapore and it is reported that besides attending an exclusive event today, they will start rehearsing for the concert. Usually a singer will “forbid certain foods” and go on a particular diet before a concert, but Fahrenheit has come to the Lion City “fine food heaven” so obviously they can’t resist the enticing fine food here. Very early in the morning they already ordered food: chicken rice, laksa, pizza, char kuey teow and so on!
Furthermore, when they arrived in Singapore yesterday, Wu Chun who is known for his love of food, received cake and snacks from many of his caring fans; ever since he cut his hair short, Calvin has been receiving caps the most and last night was no exception. As to Arron’s fans, their gifts were all very creative and yesterday a fan gave him a pillowcase with his portrait on it!
10 fans entered the boarding area illegally
Since the lawsuit that took place when Jay Chou fans bought plane tickets to enter the boarding area but did not board the plane, yesterday again about 10 fans did the same thing in order to get closer to Fahrenheit.
More and more crazy actions of fans are emerging following last year when two fans in order to catch a glimpse of their idol Jay Chou’s elegance, did not hesitate to challenge the law and purchased a one-way plane ticket to Kuala Lumpur so that they could enter the boarding area but not get on the plane, instead walking in to meet Jay. They were caught and arrested by airport police as well as immigration and customs officials, bringing a lawsuit against them for entering a protected area; in the end they were fines $1000.
Yesterday, again there were Fahrenheit “pretty girl” fans who did the same thing; it is reported that there were about 10 of them who bought plane tickets but did not register, just so that they could be in close proximity of Fahrenheit in the restricted area and give them gifts, etc. The promoter also said, “Fans are very well-mannered; when they see Fahrenheit they’ll ask first: ‘Can I shake your hand?’” On the way, fans managed to talk with the four guys. Some were holding “Dadong” banners, some were enthusiastically walking beside Fahrenheit and departing with them.
Under the laws of the conservation district, anyone who enters unauthorised, can be fined $1000 or face up to 2 years in prison, or both.
Tomorrow afternoon’s poster exchange event; fans plan to line up very early
Tomorrow Fahrenheit’s poster exchange event will begin at 3pm and fans plan to start lining up at 7am.
In order to reward Singaporean fans for their support, the music company will be holding an exchange event for limited Fahrenheit posters. As long as fans have their preorder receipts for Fahrenheit’s new album “Loving More and More”, and their Fahrenheit Fantasy Lion City concert entrance tickets, they will be able to exchange for a large limited edition poster. It is reported that the hosting company has not hesitated to print about 2000 posters.
Yesterday at the airport a fan expressed that even though the exchange event will start tomorrow at 3pm, Dadong’s fans plan to get seats at 7am, “This is nothing! Last time that had an event at IMM, we lined up one week before!”

Fahrenheit will be holding a countdown concert at Beijing Capital Indoor Stadium on 31 December. Yesterday the four members revealed that besides singing their own oldies, they will see a Fahrenheit version of ‘Shuang Jie Gun’ (Nunchaku) and their seniors S.H.E songs on that day.
Fahrenheit is constantly working hard to break the image of being ‘Flower Boys’, hence in the third album ‘Loving More and More’, they added in rock feel for the first time in their song. 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.
Fahrenheit revealed that they will sing their new song at the concert, but the concrete new song to be sung is still kept under secret. As for the other songs, Fahrenheit said that most of the songs will be songs which fans like in the previous albums, it can also be counted as a reviewing and combing themselves after debuting for three years. 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
For Fahrenheit’s upcoming new album, they invited Mayday’s ‘Monster’ to compose new song ‘Stay Behind’. Yesterday, while Mayday was having a promotional photoshoot, Fahrenheit specially prepared fruit and energy soup to visit them. Jiro Wang used the opportunity to get Monster’s phone number, as he wishes to learn guitar from him.
Jiro loves to play guitar, and yesterday he used the opportunity to get Monster’s phone number, however while they were exchanging phone numbers, they suddenly could not find any paper and hence Monster wrote his number on a persimmon that Fahrenheit had brought. Jiro laughed and said: “When I get home, I have to hurry and put the number into my cellphone, or else the persimmon might accidentally get eaten!”
Monster expressed that he is very happy his song can be sung by 4 handsome guys. Aaron Yan said that ever since he was in junior school, he had been a fan of Mayday, and after listening to this song, he really liked it, and tried to fill in the lyrics to it, however, both attempts were rejected by their management company, and was not chosen: “Once, to attend Mayday’s concert, I flew to Taichung in the middle of the night.” Calvin Chen said that while he was in Canada, he has to have a Mayday CD in his car.
As for Wu Zun, he has heard of Mayday’s charm, but never really felt it in real life: “My friends in Brunei really like Mayday, and asked me to get an autograph from them.” Fahrenheit, who will hold a concert in Singapore soon, eagerly took some advice from Mayday. The drummer Ming (Guan You) said that he can play drums for 2 hours without getting his hair messed up; the secret to this is to use very hard hairspray. After hearing this, Fahrenheit, who place great importance on hair, exclaimed: “That’s good, because we endorse hair products!”

Fahrenheit is excited after seeing the birthday cake prepared by the fans. All photos taken by reporter Zhang Wei Nie
Aaron Yan distributed the cake to the fans present.
‘Dreams I Decide’ concert by two Taiwan famous groups S.H.E and Fahrenheit had just ended, Fahrenheit is already busy preparing for their ‘Fahrenheit’s Fantasy World Tour’. Recently the four members of the group came to Jing Hua Teahouse to promote their countdown concert held on 31 December in Beijing; this is the third stop for the tour. The four members interestingly asked fans to teach them the dialects of different places; laughter was never-ending at the event. Fahrenheit revealed that the recording for their new album is already coming to an end, and is expected to be released at the end of the year, and this time the theme is ‘rock’.
■At the event
Fahrenheit sends biscuits to treat fans
Fans who are familiar with Fahrenheit will know that Wu Zun is the one in the group who loves to eat and can eat. As expected, on the day of the meeting, Calvin Chen lead the group by walking in front, leader Jiro Wang followed behind holding a cup of tea carefully; the youngest Aaron Yan kept making funny faces at the camera as he walked. As for Wu Zun, he had a big plate of biscuits and he was eating happily as he walked. After they entered the fans who were sitting quietly in their seats got up and threw the presents which they had prepared into the arms of these handsome young guys. Wu Zun immediately treated the fans to biscuits; Aaron Yan took the plate from his hand and started distributing to fans. Calvin Chen stood up and pretended to leave, and jokingly said, “So you guys came for the biscuits today, let’s go.”
Jiro Wang’s leg injury became the attention of the fans’ concern. Jiro Wang said light-heartedly, “The therapy that the doctor suggested is rather useful, Wu Zun’s coach is also giving me some pointers on therapy as well, nothing too serious.” Looking at the way Fahrenheit is running around everyday, fans reminded, “You all have to sleep early, drink more water.” Wu Zun picked up the glass of water in front of him, drank everything in a gulp and said, “Actually I’m not thirsty, but it is right to drink more water.” Jiro Wang revealed, “Actually we are very clever, already trained until we can sleep on planes or trains, even during shoots we can sleep while standing, Wu Zun sleeps like this.” Aaron Yan sighed and said, “It’s not that we don’t want to sleep, it’s just that we can’t sleep.”
Learn to speak Beijing language for concert
The members of the group said that they are waiting to have their concert in Beijing. Calvin Chen revealed, “The meaning of this concert is very deep because it was scheduled in beginning of January initially but luckily the venue is vacant on 31 December so we can have the chance to celebrate New Year with Beijing audience. In Taiwan, usually a lot of groups of celebrities will count-down together.” Wu Zun said, “Hope that they will be more fireworks on that day, like that will have more feel.” When asked if they will add in some local traditions for the Beijing concert, the members revealed, “We will do some changes for every concert depending on the country. Previously Shanghai fans gave us a CD with Shanghai ballad in it hoping that we can speak Shanghainese at the concert.” Jiro Wang immediately said ‘I like Shanghai’ in Shanghainese and invited a fan who came from Shanghai to teach him ‘something more difficult’. Beijing fans took this opportunity and taught Fahrenheit to speak Beijing language, immediately different intonations could be heard, the members was addicted to it, “Wait er, eat er, have a nice time er…”
The success of the first concert in Hong Kong in September made Fahrenheit confident. “Remember dancing for the first time in front of 2 million people, feet almost turned jelly. However the crowded scene is really a very good experience.” Fahrenheit smiled and said, “The lights can intrigue the glands of our liver making us more and more excited.”
Calvin Chen and Aaron Yan celebrates birthday
The day of the event was Calvin Chen’s birthday; fans bought cake to celebrate for him. After Calvin Chen made his wishes, he shifted the cake to Aaron Yan who was going to celebrate his birthday soon; the both of them celebrated a heart-warming birthday with the voices of their fans. Calvin Chen was touched and said, “Although sometimes I feel tired but fans’ encouragements are our motivation.” As a public figure especially idols, it is natural to lose some freedom in the applause. Aaron Yan said, “Was already prepared before entering the industry. To be an artiste with achievements it is necessary to shoulder these burdens.” Jiro Wang said, “Now we will still take trains, it is nothing even if we were caught on camera. We can’t stop doing all these just because we are artistes if not we will lose a lot of ourselves.”
■Interview
Try ‘rock’ style in album
Fahrenheit is currently preparing for their third album since debut. “Previously we did not spend much time in China, but all the songs this time are recorded in China. The new album has a lot of local cultural, for example we tried some new things while recording in Shanghai and Beijing. We are always seeking changes in our style. These days we met a lot of artistes after attending a lot of award ceremonies and functions. Be it seniors or artistes of the same age, they have a lot of things worth us to learn from. For example S.H.E, we won’t get tired of seeing them. Their chemistry is very touching.” Fahrenheit revealed that they will try ‘rock’ in their new album, and in terms of style they will “be as ‘rock’ as they can be”. They might add in songs from their new album in the concert.
As idol group, Fahrenheit’s singing ability has always been doubted by outsiders. With regards to this, the four members said that they are always working hard, hope to be a music group with talents. “Although due to work reasons we are unable to concentrate time to accept official training but every concert and performance is a learning opportunity, sometimes real life experience is better than plain talking, of course we hope to be improving. Recently we learnt a lot following S.H.E on the tour, better than us trying out on our own without any directions.”
Hates rumours about not getting along the most
Although it had been less than 3 years since their debut but Fahrenheit’s popularity can be compared to F4 then. Remembering the difficulties that they went through, the members said, “Rumours about Fahrenheit not getting along with each other makes us most unhappy.”
With regards to such rumours, it is normal to feel uncomfortable. However due to the recent concerts such rumours have been getting lesser. In the past it could be due to each of them having their own dramas and work so everyone will be a bit suspicious. Actually we stand as one.” Calvin Chen revealed, “Every time after the event ended we will communicate when we got into the car, vent or share our experience. Everyone will have their persistence, and some points that we can’t change. If one of us can’t get to the answer for one of his problems the rest of us will counsel him. This is the good thing about group. I feel that groups improve faster, if there is only one person normally people around you will not dare to offend you, normally they will praise you. But the four of us will directly say where you did not do well just now, there is nothing not to be share among buddies, like this then can we improve fast.” Fahrenheit revealed that recently they are putting their attention on concert and the new album, as for dramas side they will have to see the company’s arrangement.
■Conclusion
Buddy love, support to enter
Among the four members of Fahrenheit, as his leg injury has yet to fully recover, Jiro Wang had difficulty walking. From the rest room to the event venue, the rest of the members supported him and helped him to block out the fans who were surrounding, this type of buddy love is indeed touching.
Fahrenheit endorses Taiwan Tourism; put on a glove puppetry show in Japan
Source: UDN
Translated by catalie @ http://asianfanatics.net
Under the invitation of the Tourism Bureau’s Transport Department, idol group Fahrenheit held a Wish To See You in Taiwan endorsement event in Tokyo, Japan today. The four of them performed a modernised glove puppetry show of “Journey to the West”, introducing Taiwan’s cuisine and tourist attractions. The result was a success.
After idol group F4 endorsed Taiwan tourism and allowed Taiwan to receive $1.1 billion in tourism earnings, today the Tourism Bureau’s transport department invited Fahrenheit to endorse. Today at large Tokyo hotel, a press conference was held with over 200 reporters at the location. Japanese singer Mai Kuraki also especially came to congratulate them and offer flowers.
At the press conference, the short clip of Fahrenheit endorsing “Wish To See You Again in Taiwan” was broadcasted, portraying the youthful, energetic aspects of Taiwan. The host asked them to each introduce tourist attractions they would recommend the most.
Calvin Chen recommended Taichung Garden’s Moon Pavillion. He said this was where they celebrated the opening of Taiwan’s North-South Railway.
Dadong (Jiro Wang) recommended the National Palace Museum. He said the museum had over 600,000 antiques. He said the meticulous engraved work of the “Emerald Cabbage” was worthing having a look at.
Wu Chun recommended Kenting. He said the Kenting scenery was beautiful, the air was fresh, there were comfortable lodges and it was a place that really allowed a person to relax. You can have fun by the beach of Kenting in the morning, then eat seafood at night, especially fried oysters.
Arron Yan recommended Yilan. He said Yilan was filled with the atmosphere of Taiwan’s traditions and culture. You can enjoy shadow plays, glove puppetry among others, which show second and third generation descendants upholding Taiwan’s culture.
Afterwards, the four people began to perform a glove puppetry show, the theme being a modernised “Journey to the West”. The show introduced Taiwan’s mangoes, bananas among other fruit. Wu Chun, who was controlling the character of Zhu Ba Jie said, “There’s beef noodles, oishii [Japanese for delicious], and also lobster, abalone etc.”
The Tourism Bureau’s Transport Department Chief Lai Se Zhen said, in 2005 over 1 million Japanese tourists visited Taiwan and even though last year this number fell by 1.4%, still 1.17million Japanese people came. At the moment, the economy is not great, but Taiwan has confidence that because the Japanese Yen is increasing and also due to the Japanese Government’s “Travelling Around the World” promotions, Taiwan has room to strive.
She said, every year 1.3million Taiwanese people travel to Japan, so it could be said that we understand and love Japanese tourists the most. Therefore when the Japanese come to Taiwan, they will receive a warm welcome and feel at ease.
Besides that, the Tourism Bureau also have a “secret weapon” to attract more young, female tourists. After F4 endorsed Taiwan Tourism, this year Fahrenheit will take over their role with the campaign: “travelling to Taiwan to chase stars”, welcoming everyone to come to Taiwan on February 15th to attend Fahrenheit’s international fan gathering.
During his speech, Taiwanese Feng Ji Tai who resides in Japan said, “President Ma Yi Jiu made clear that he wants to expand Taiwan-Japanese Tourism. His daughter who is studying in university in Taipei said, if he doesn’t get Fahrenheit’s autographed photo, he doesn’t need to return to Taiwan at the end of the year.” As a result, the entire crowd burst out in laughter.
For their upcoming new album, Fahrenheit have gone all out. 4 lucky fans have the chance to spend 1 hour with one of the Fahrenheit members. As long as it is within the time limit, and do not violate the customs of society, they can ‘consume’ them as much as possible.
To encourage fans to buy their new album ‘More And More Love’, which will go on pre-order from the 10th, Fahrenheit have agreed to give themselves up. In the whole stock of albums, they have placed only 4 vouchers, and this represents a specific Fahrenheit member’s ‘exclusive consumer coupon.’ Whichever lucky fans find a coupon, they can spend 1 hour with their idol, as long as it is in ‘public place, does not violate customs of society and regards health and well-being.’
However, Fahrenheit do have their own limits to being ‘consumed.’ Aaron Yan said, “I can only allow for fans to kiss my cheek, and cannot leave too much saliva.” Jiro Wang is more generous: “As long as fans are happy, then I’m OK, it’ll be good if they are creative, but no X-rated action is allowed. However, if she is not afraid of her hands being sore, I don’t mind if she hugs me for 1 hour.” Calvin Chen goes totally out: ‘As long as we are fully clothed, she can touch my whole body if she wants.” Wu Zun is also quite generous: “If the opposite party can make me feel at ease, and makes me trust her, then I am willing to exchange phone numbers.”
Yesterday, Fahrenheit had a photoshoot with 4 little 3-year old brides. However, the children kept making sour faces, and their parents had to yell the password: “Are watermelon sweet or not sweet?” and the children would reply, “Sweet!” and then their face would break out into a smile. Fahrenheit joked and said they had learnt a new trick, and Wu Zun, who was previously rumoured to be already married and had kids commented: “I love children, I will want at least 3-5 children.”
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.

Fahrenheit Fantasy
The popular idol group, with an amiable image, elegant posture. Women, nude sleeping, smoking, drinking etc. don’t even think about it. This time Fahrenheit enter Fantasy along with us, the results are……
Fantasy 1:
Please tell each other’s secret within the 4 people.
Chun: Everyone’s secret is really fierce! Does Aaron and Calvin still sleep together in one room?
Aaron: Now we all have our own rooms to sleep in. Chun’s room is always the most clean, my room is the most messy. Sometimes, the stuff I eat are still in the hotel room after 5 days.
Calvin: How is that possible? It must stink so much that the Room Service is afraid to enter to clean up!
Aaron: it’s true…… So the most dirty is…… Aaron: I only have cleanliness for bathroom, it cannot be wet, have to put a piece of towel on the floor, so the speed of using up towels is pretty fast……
Fantasy 2:
Who’s the most peverted?
(all answer at the same time) same as the average guys! Is it Jiro?
Chun: Are you trying to get us in trouble, haha. What type of girls do you like?
Aaron: Everyone has their own favorite type, so we won’t really fight over the same “type” with each other.
Fantasy 3:
When fan girls propose to you guys, what would you do?
Chun: There’s always fans playing with us like this. They would give us flowers, saying they want to marry us. But when it comes to marriage, you must truly know that person well before it’s ok. Of course if we get to know the fans more, gradually we will become friends. Are you close to your fans?
Calvin: Some fans have been supporting us since we first came out, we can even remember some of their names.
Fantasy 4:
What do you like most around the house?
Chun: Me and my laptop cannot separate, it will always be on my lap.
Calvin: When I go home I like to microwave some food to eat, because I like those BBQ chicken wings, must have cheese and ketchup on it! I really like to eat western food!
Aaron: I have to change pillowcase each day.
Chun: Really?! Must have drooling saliva over it each day……
Calvin: Drooling until the pillowcase is all wet, till evening it’s still wet, so must change!
Aaron: No……it’s because I like the pillowcase to smell good, it will help to go to sleep. My room has a big drawer with just pillowcases! Haha.
Fantasy 5:
Being very open at home (nude), the media got pictures for the headlines the day after, how would you handle the dangerous situation? Calvin: No matter how open, at most there’s a pair of boxers, if I get caught it will be totally ok!
Aaron: At most I will sleep nude under the bed quilt during summer, so I won’t get caught. Haha. What if you really got caught and got put on the headlines?
Chun: Wow, then you must be fierce! Haha!
Calvin: Then we will be famous! We can endorse underwear! Haha!
Chun: I think if reporters were like that then they are too irresponsible. Because “nude photo” being put onto the news is not a responsible act, and usually we are very cooperative, if it was really published, I would be very angry.
Fantasy 6:
During filming if the director ask to add a kiss scene or tell you guys to go topless, will you be willing?
Aaron: If this can make the film better, I am willing to sacrifice. If it’s unnecessary, I will negotiate with the director to see if it can be omitted. Have that ever happen to you?
Chun: When I was filming “Hana-Kimi”, whenever I have scenes of coming out from the washroom, the director would tell me to take it off. He said “Have you ever seen people dress up in clothes to take a shower?” I have no choice, so I took it off…… (bitter laugh)
Fantasy 7:
If one day you were stranded on an island, you can bring an item and a person, you guys would choose……
Chun: I would bring my laptop and a person who wants to come along with me. I can use the laptop to record things down. Just in case if I cannot leave the place, in the future people who find the laptop will know what happened. What if there’s no power source on the island?
Chun: But I have a lot of feelings torwards my laptop! It gives me a sense of security.
Calvin: I would bring my best friend and fire.
Aaron: I want to bring Obama and gameboy.
Calvin: Why do you want to bring Obama?
Aaron: Cuz there will be people looking for the president! (the entire scene LOL) The gameboy is for passing time while I wait for help, I can play beside him, this way I won’t have to waste time.

When Ella saw Feng Yun Bang, she said exaggeratedly, “Wow, 7 handsome guys, we see each other again.” When asked about their impression of Feng Yun Bang, the 3 ladies of S.H.E said that although they didn’t catch their performance at the beginning as they were doing their make-up but the feel at the duet at the end was good, they are handsome, the performance was relaxed and there wasn’t any feel that it was their first time on stage.

Big screen LED tv showing many hot air balloons floating, while there are many colorful flying kites flying around at the scene, Fahrenheit changed into aviation outfits to return to the stage once more on raising platforms to sing “Xiao Xiao Da Ren Wu”, Half way through the performance, the 4 stood on flying platforms individually and raised up into the air to 5 stories high, besides bringing the live audience back to childhood, it also gave them the passion of witholding and fulfilling a dream. Under the warm atmosphere, they continued to sing 3 classic Fahrenheit songs “Ai Dao”, “Ai De Wang Dao”, “Xia Xue”, the entire audience gather together to sing, while high screams continued to sound.
For the 1st concert, Fahrenheit had prepared many exciting content to give everyone surprises, Fahrenheit also revealed “Often due to working schedule, could only use the time during midnight or early morning to practise.” After the big screen showed the 4 individual solo’s silhouette, Fahrenheit changed into black & red rocker costumes as a band to start the show, Aaron on the keyboard, Jiro the guitarist, Chun the drummer, Calvin the beat-boxer, “Hi everyone, we’re the Fahrenheit Band.” First time performing as a band has made the entire audience completely oblivious. During the song “Chao Xi Huan Ni”, Jiro showed off his skills on electric guitar, while he played an acoustic guitar for “Yi Ge Ren Liu Lang”. Chun, Aaron, Calvin explains: “In order to fulfill Jiro’s ROCKER dream, we bros showed great coordination!” After Jiro showed off his guitar, it was Aaron’s turn to play the piano while singing “Ti Amo” and introduce the special guest, Jade to sing along.
After doing different performance as space warriors, aviators, band etc., the stage lowers a big vintage “FAHRENHEIT” light sign. This time, Fahrenheit came out in American-style vintage suits holding vintage mic stands to perform “My Girl”, “Uptown Girl” 70’s old song, while they also specially performed “Lao Shi Qing Ge”, and a Cantonese song “An Lian Ni” for the HK fans, the songs, style, dance all had an old school feel to them. Afterwards, Fahrenheit walked on to the sky over-bridge to sing “Bu Hui Ai”. “Zhan You”, “Zhi Shao Hai You Wo”, as the over-bridge raised to half way, the fans reached their highest excitement. As the concert showed one climax after another, following the old school style, the entire audience had started to show disbelief, seeing Chun changed into a black warrior costume with one hand hanging on wire, while the other hand waving warrior sword landing from the high stage to the lower stage, while Chun’s 8 second wire-hanging entrance cost NT $500,000 for insurance, During the entire audience’s high scream, Chun performed a “large-scale acrobating fighting dance” combining sword movement and fighting to create a combat scene. After beating the enemies, he hung on wires once more to fly back to the high stage to join the rest of Fahrenheit. The 4 holds a 120cm long sword to perform “Bu Si Zi Mi”, “soul-stirring” is the best phrase to describe this performance, because the 4 swaying long swords in hand has not only made the audience nervous, but it also made Fahrenheit extremely nervous because the swords are sharp. During rehearsal, Jiro almost injuried Chun’s face, Chun almost got his face disfigured for practising the sword swaying, hence a very exciting and nerve-wracking atmosphere was successfully created at the entire scene during the sword dance in “Bu Si Zi Mi” performance. In order to demonstrate Chinese martial art style, after showing off sword dance during “Bu Si Zi Mi”, they immediately sang Jay Chou’s “Nunchucks”, besides playing with nunchucks, Fahrenheit also intergrated “Tai Chi” movements in their dance moves, each sword movement was facinating to watch, anf after this exciting performance, all 4 of Fahrenheit were sweating like mad, soaking their white shirts, making the live fans go even more crazy.
In the end, Fahrenheit sang “Heng Xing”, “Wei Ni Cun Zai”. The live 12,000 fans sang along to create the perfect ending. At the end on stage, Fahrenheit emotionally expresses: “This concert, we’ve awaited for 3 years, finally we could make it happen, we each put in a lot of effort for this performance, thank you to each and everyone of you for making our dream come true.” When the 4 of Fahrenheit goes off the stage from a rising platform, the entire audience drummed wildly and repeatedly shout out “ENCORE”, and Fahrenheit did not let the live fans down, with Calvin first appearing on stage with a DJ Scratch Solo and a solo Scratch dance, then the 4 people used a relaxed party atmosphere to sing 3 up-beat songs “Zhi Dui Ni You Gan Jue”, and Senior S.H.E’s “Mei Li Xin Shi Jie”, “Xin Wo” as the concert ended in a lively, party-like atmosphere. Coming into the industry from idol dramas, idol group Fahrenheit has successfully conquered Hong Kong in the 2-day performance in the HK stop in order to prove that they can sing and dance charismatically on stage.
