5 hour final gig

Further to my last entry on additional late night train service, it was reported today that the 24/7 Taichung 變形DNA無限放大版演唱會 will run for an estimated 5 hour from 7:30pm till 12:30am on 25th. It's gonna be a long final concert =D

Out of town fans are strongly advised to purchase the return ticket in advance to avoid the massive queue at the station after the concert.

5 days to go!

Mayday @ Ding Dang's Taipei concert

Ding Dang 丁噹 performed at the University of Taipei stadium yesterday on her 「Dream Girl下一站天后」tour, which was attended by 4,000 fans along with her B'in Music stable mates who turned up to show their support which included Mayday (minus Guan You, but lookalike Michael Wong was present) and Fish Leung.

Countdown to 24/7 Taichung DNA

6 days to go to the final DNA concert in Taichung on 24 July 2010

Train services from Taichung have been extended on concert night to ferry out of town fans home after the concert which should be ending later than usual, with the last outbound train departing at 2:30AM.

First no more

Back in May it was reported that Mayday were to film and release Asia's first ever concert in 3D titled 「3DNA」, set to be released early next year ...only to be beaten to the title by Japan's Ayumi Hamasaki!

Ayumi had recorded her 2009 tour in 3D and after an eight month post production, the 3D concert movie (which also includes CG effect) will air in cinemas across Japan this 28 August.

Looks like the guys should've started filming in 3D when the tour kicked off last year LOL

Nanjing DNA and Taipei Toy Festival

Another busy weekend for the band as they are holding the second last DNA concert in Nanjing tonight. Meanwhile, over in Taipei, No2Good is busy holding the Stay Real fort at the 7th annual Taipei Toy Festival 2010: Monster Vs Toys which is being held from 8 to 11 July 2010.

Featuring designer toys, products, and collectibles from various deisgners, this year's event sees Stay Real occupying 3 booths (way to go SR!!) No2Good was onsite today for an autograph session this afternoon.

What a surprise when Tik texted me today as she was Q-ing up to get No2Good's autograph, and told me later that she had got me something signed :))) Thank you so much Tik *muaks*

基因搖滾 Revolution of Evolution

The STAY REAL Forever exhibition which is currently held in Shanghai until 12 July will be moving to Taichung come 25 July. Titled '基因搖滾 Revolution of Evolution', the exhibition will run from 25 July 2010 to 12 September 2010 at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts located at 2, Sec. 1, Wu Chuan W. Rd., Taichung 403 [in Chinese: 403台中市西區五權西路一段2號]

Be there or be square!

Happy 70th Ringo

Ringo Starr turns 70 today. Happy birthday to a legend!

I love the song Octopus' Garden, which was written by Ringo and appears in The Beatles' Abbey Road album. Great song and equally wicked album :)

Usher vs Leehom

Come 11 July (no I'm not going to go on about World Cup finals), Usher will be having his first ever in Beijing. The American R&B superstar is currently in Asia on a world tour. What's special about the Beijing stop is that Usher will be joined onstage by Leehom.

Usher and Leehom? 2 homeboys in China? haha. What's interesting to note was Usher had a list of invitee (which included Wilber Pan, Jay Chou, David Tao.. amongst others) and the concert organiser had requested for fans' feedback on who should be sharing the stage with Usher. So finally, just a week before the concert, it was announced that Leehom will be Usher's sole guest at his Beijing concert. Now that should be an interesting collaboration

New CF

First post of the month.

Mayday had a MassMutual Mercuries Life [三商美邦人壽] event in hot Taipei today (I was told it was 40C there today? @_@) So there will be 2 new commercials, the first of which is below. And there will be a new song 改編了的[憨人十周年], but the band didn't perform it at today's event.
