Jerry Yan Mania, Still Alive

Date Posted: Sept. 29, 2004

Over 400 fans of Jerry Yan attended the launching of Jerry For You which was held in Dish, QC last Sept. 11.

The album launching is quite different since Jerry wasn’t there. Large pictures adorned the venue and his video clips were continuously played to make up for his absence.

The event was organized by Only Jerry with the support of Bench and Sony Music Philippines.

Different fan groups like Jerry Yan Family, OnlyF4, Switch to F4, JnB Team, Love ko Jerry Group attended the event to show support.

Just imagine how loud the screaming whenever Jerry was shown on TV. We laughed at the waiters who covered their ears everytime the fans screamed.

It was a joyous occasion and it is the largest gathering of Jerry and F4 Philippine fans. There were raffles and singing contest whose prizes include magazines and posters of Jerry and F4.

By this time, the local version of the much-anticipated album of Jerry is released already. The album has two versions, day (full color cover) and night (black and white cover). It has 10 tracks including the first single “One Meter” and “Forget Myself” which is Jerry’s composition. Other cuts include “Fantasy”, “Gravity”, “The First Time”, and “Be a Good Lover”. It also includes “I Want to Love You” (theme song of Magic Kitchen) and “I Want It Now” (theme song of Pepsi). Jerry rapped in the following songs: “Memory Pieces”, “Decoration” and “Isolation”.

It took Jerry 3 years to release the album which means that he really worked hard for it. He had voice lessons in Japan for four months. He was really happy when the album was finished.

“See You Soon”

There is a rumor that Jerry might come here in Manila this November for Bench and to promote his album. There will be a meet and greet session which will be organized by Mr. Ben Chan, bench’s owner.

In fact, in a video clip, Jerry was seen holding a poster which said “See you soon” which caused an uproar among the fans. They are very excited to see their favorite again.

Loud screaming also erupted when the video clip of the 32 Philippine fans who went to Taiwan for the pre-order and stamping session of Jerry’s album were shown. They sang Because of You with its chorus in Mandarin which delighted Jerry. Besides seeing Jerry up close, they were able to get autographs and had the opportunity to shake Jerry’s hands. They were also featured in Taiwan Daily.

The goal of Jerry’s fans is to make his album a gold record or even a platinum.here in the Philippines.
