Mayday!!! MAYDAY!!!!

*rotfl* Just came back from the Mayday concert, and I'm on a high here, as you can see XD XD XD The concert was WONDERFUL! Worth every cent!!! One of the best concerts I've ever been to. *big grin* Ashin was so kawaii~~~!!! *squeals* He was rather hilarious, he and the drummer, Yanming XD XD XD

We got free plastic souvenir fans, but they were so hard to wave around, I ran out with my friend to get light sticks like proper chinese music fans XD Yes, and this is where you see the Big Difference between english rock fans and chinese rock fans. English rock fans like to wave their hands and show the 'I love you' sign, while chinese rock fans tend to buy bunches of lightsticks to wave around in time with the drum beat. *lol* And you wave said sticks more vigorously instead of clapping at the end of songs. XD

Lots of funny jokes throughout the concert. *grin* The audience demanded that Yanming do his infamous ballet dance for us to see. He initially refused, until Ashin and the other members walked off stage and ballet music started playing. So the poor guy did this tall, lanky, nerd version of a ballet dance. *rotfl* Totally ridiculous. He did the same thing in Taiwan, but with a tutu. XD Then there were water bottle fights, funny quips and, the best of all, a short and Hilarious clip. XD Ashin dressed in this totally rediculous orange candy-man suit. Think a skinny, asian, blonde and nerdy version of Austin Powers. XD Then he proceeded to introduce the other band members who were the contestants in the game show, while Ashin was the compere. Then he asked them stupid questions where they acted out the answers. *rotfl* I nearly died laughing here XD Especially at the parts where Ashin used his body to spell out the words 'OK Lah!' XD XD XD And after all the questions, the screen popped up the last question, asking the audience what was the next song going to be, which got the audience stumped. XD XD XD XD Ai, it was funny then, but the jokes were all lost when I typed it out. *lol*

The beginning of the concert was really cool. All the fans sitting near the stage received construction paper and were told to fold paper planes according to the instructions on screen. And when the screen countdown reached zero, everyone was supposed to throw the planes to the stage. This resulted in one pretty scene where all the colourful planes were zipping to the stage! So nice *grin* Lots of fireworks and confetti too! *genki genki*

They sang all my favourite songs, and were wonderful in entertaining the crowd with their antics and jokes. *grin* Yanming's drum skills were real impressive O_O And so were the guitars!! And Ashin's voice improved quite a bit, IMO ^^/ The entire concert was very well planned, with a good distribution of slow and fast songs. And they had these really impressive videos playing on the screen at the back. I reckon they picked up quite a few skills on presentation from Glay XD Gah. When oh when are they coming back??? I miss them already *lol* After two years of procrastination, I am finally going to buy all of their cds *lol* I never got down to doing it cos I never had the money XD

Am now nursing a very bad sore throat *big sweatdrop* But it was worth it. *big big grin*

For stejuste, whom I remember once asked Stranger who's Mayday, here's some links ^^ As you can see, Ashin is my favourite XD He's cute, in a very 'boy next door' kinda way XD They're this taiwanese rock band with very quirky, fun music. One of those bands whose lyrics really inspire people. Try 'Wen Rou' 'Ren Sheng Hai Hai' and 'Feng Quang Shi Jie' on kazaa or something *lol*

An article on why Yanming had to dance, and a pic of the infamous dance. XD

A little bit about Mayday in this article. Ignore the bits about Shin. I think they're not as good as Mayday in terms of orginality and showmanship ^^;; And the vocalist really sucks ^^;;;;;;;;

The official japanese site for Mayday. For some reason, their chinese site has nothing ^^;; This one is good for the pictures. Just click around *grin*
