gk's note:
On request by some jms in another posting - please further translate to Chinese; skipping the first paragraph that describe the setting.
19:35 - MC and fans chanted "1,2,3" as F4 stepped onto the stage, in the order of Ken, Vic, Vanness and Jerry
Fans were over-joyed to see all 4 members appeared; the mall was filled with loud screams. Began with "we're F4" they spoke of their thoughts on the upcoming concert and their visit to HK. Every now and then, they mixed their answers with some Cantonese, delighting their local fans.
Ken: "The biggest difference in this concert is that we'll sing more solos. We'd like to show you the new F4. Jerry's gonna be hung by a wire and dance in the air; Vanness will break some stones, and Vic will swallow a sword! There will be lots of interesting things to see! Please look forward to our performances!" (gk: I think he's kidding)
Vanness: "We'll integrate more dances in this concernt. Currently, I'm practising with Vic. We're picking costumes that are light enough to allow us to move more freely."
Vic: "I'm so happy to get to meet and see the fans today! But it's a shame that I can't go out and enjoy good food freely. The hotel is fully packed and surrounded by fans, so I think we can only eat inside the hotel."
Jerry: "Our get-together after a while reminds me of the good old days in 'Meteor Garden'. The F of F4 stands for "Forever". The theme for this concert is that 'we're forever foursome.'"
Then they lifted the curtains to display the new concert poster and then made a toast in pepsi with the evenet organizers.
After the fan meeting there was a press conference at the backstage. These are the 2 questions directly from ‰Ø—¬D‚Ž‚…‚”
Q: What kind of solo performances do you plan to show us at the concert?
J: Vanness is really good dancer so if possible, I'd like to dance with superdancer Vanness.
V: Yeah; I'm thinking maybe I can do some dance moves with Jerry.
K: I'll play the percussion (drums types). Zai can be MC (grin)
Z: Yeah, it'd be nice if I can be MC (grin)
Q: Why did you decide to start your concert tour in HK?
K: HK is considered the center of entertainment in Asia and is well-equipped with all that's needed for a concert. So we decided on HK as my first stop. We're still planning for tours to other countries.
Q: We're very much looking forward to this!
F4: Thank you (in Japanese)
At the backstage they said "Thank you" and "Hello" in Japanese. Also, they said they'd be looking forward to their Japanese fans to come to the concert.
