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- |
