DJs: Are you befriended with Aaron Kwok? The first thing he will ask you is: Where are youuuu?!?!?! 
-Start playing "Fearless"- 
Aaron: I'm Aaron Kwok 
DJ: Gigi Leung had just finished her concert in the HK Coliseum, Aaron Kwok also reserved HK Coliseum yesterday evening for his first concert in 2002. But this concert had something special: it was a single show concert, a charity concert, with purpose of collecting money for grandma and grandpa. Aaron, after having finished the concert, what do you think/feel? 
Aaron: The feeling is... incomplete, because you weren't there (giggles & laughter), so I hope you will be there when I hold my next concert. 
DJ: Let's get serious. Aaron, actually this concert had some difficulties, like the preparation time was very short, the budget was limited, and you only performed once... 
Aaron: Actually the difficulty was... there was only one show. Because of that, of course the production costs had a limit... It's not comparable to the big concerts, because then we're talking about a budget in billions... Production, promotion, stage, lights, everything is money. So for this concert we tried our best to shrink the costs. There was an ordinary stage and an ordinary set of lights. And all rest was just... using our private stuff, like digging some clothes out of our wardrobes etc (giggles). 
-Continue "Fearless"- 
Aaron: The thing that touched me the most was the fact that all the efforts of the crew behind and before the scenes were all totally done for charity only. I also must thank all the people who bought tickets to see the concert, because they really both invested money and effort. 
DJ: Even though this concert was a single show, Aaron still did his very best on his performance. Like in the opening he performed his new song, there was singing of 'Love's Call' by ten thousand people, ninja dance plus Aaron's drumming performance, and of course the 'no nationality or gender boundary Para Para Dance'. 
Aaron: I think that was the most splendid part... Because I think the Para Para part was the highlight of the evening... 
-Start playing "Para Para Sakura"- 
Aaron: Everyone in the audience is sitting there watching your performance, but in their hearts they have an excitement to run to you and hug you, or even a touch would already make them very happy. Thus, when the Para Para part came, finally there came the chance for everybody to relax instead of sitting there stiffly clapping hands or yelling. So the total audience stood up, there were a few thousand people, and I taught them the dance. 
-Continue "Para Para Sakura"- 
Aaron: The chance for me to teach them every single step of the dance is very rare. When I performed "Para Para Sakura" with the original music I was really surprised that the total audience was dancing with me without a single error in the steps. When I danced "Para Para Sakura", I really had a wish that I could teach a group of my fans dancing this kind of dance. During this concert I had been given the chance to see them dancing and singing the song with me in line. I was very happy. 
-End "Para Para Sakura", Start "Absolutely Beautiful"- 
DJ: The next question is very important. All Aaron Kwok fans, please pay attention! Aaron, when will you have your next concert?! 
Aaron: I think the fastest... Well, a year has passed. I just finished this year's first concert, promoting the songs I produced the previous year, including a lot of new songs. In this concert I sang over 10 songs, including a few new tracks. I hope I can use another year, from the beginning of this year till the end of this year, to produce more good music to prepare my 5th... oh no, it's only the 4th... my 4th big concert. Hey wait...I... 94, 96, 98, 20... I was correct, it's the 5th time! Tjeez, I focused on doing that concert that I'm forgetting everything! So, I hope that in 2002, by the end of the year, I can do my 5th big concert in the HK Coliseum. 
-Continue "Absolutely Beautiful"- 
Aaron: The 5th concert... I hope that everybody can give me a bit support: I definately will open a 4-sided stage. I've already done a 3-sided stage for 2 years. I want to put the good things of a 3-sided stage in a 4-sided stage. Because the distance between the audience and I will be smaller with a 4-sided stage, the feeling will be closer. I hope to fuse the good things I learnt from experience of a 3 and a 4-sided stage in the 4-sided stage. I think it will give a totally different effect, which I think is quite strange. I will do my best to make more good music in the coming year, and I hope get your support in my next concert. 
-Start playing "Eating You Up" fully-
