The concert started with Fahranheit wearing “space warrior armors” popping up from the center of the stage, wearing masks, hands holding cape, attracting the entire audience to scream loudly. After taking off their masks, they held up swords and consecutively sang two songs “Chu Shen Ru Hua”, “Wo You Wo De Young”, with just Fahrenheit waving the colorful neon swords on stage right from the start of the show, it was already enough to cause the entire atmosphere to approach climax. Then, Fahrenheit sang 2 of fans’ most favorite love songs “Xin Li You Shu”, “Ming Ri Xiang” showing off their harmony vocals learned from recent intensive training. 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.
