Ken Chu concert in Japan, concentrates fully at rehearsals

F4's popularity in Japan is unwavering. Ken Chu is the only member in F4 to hold solo concert in Japan for 3 consecutive years. 21st nite, his concert was held at a new venue JCB hall, estimate of 5000 seats were sold out fast, and organisers added standing tickets which were also wiped out by Japanese fans.

Despite the economic recession, Ken's is still doing well in Japan. Although this year is his 3rd time to open concert in Japan, his number of shows increased to 3 shows and tickets are priced at 8000yen (approximately NT3000), the price remains the same for standing tickets. Japan fans did not mind standing to squeeze in the venue to see their idol.

Having had concerts for 2 years in a row, initially Ken was afraid he might lose attractiveness, and begin to fade... Unexpectedly, fans to continue supporting him enthusiastically, and it is a great encouragement for him. "They recognised my music compositions, no matter how long am i able to sing, I'll treat each performance as the last and give my best."

For this year concert, Ken did everything himself, from looking for musicians, type for performances, content, costume etc and flew to Japan to start rehearsals 2 weeks b4 the concert. Past 2 years, he sang Carpenters and Beatles songs, this year he decided to pay tribute to Eagles.

Ken even chose a classic eagles song to dedicate to his deceased father. He revealed that the song had a significant meaning towards him, when he sang the song, he said in a teary voice: "Believe that my father will be listening by a side although he can't see it."

In comparision to the warmth by Japan fans, Ken is regretful for not being able to gain support in Taiwan, where topics will always be on his looks and whether he is fat or thin. He emphasized, it is due to his asthma. He expressed, "very thankful that F4 gave a good start for me in the entertainment biz, but I'm not a "pretty flower boy" anymore, hope I can be myself."

F3's Messages to Vanness (Day Dreamer)

Scans credits to yanchengxu.net

Original Size:






Translations:

Vanness, no, it should be Van Ness. I don't quite understand the difference between them. Who cares! He is still the person I'm acquainted with, my first friend in F4. V's autobiography interests me a great deal. Like all who know him as he is, I'm interested in his past as well. What sort of past and what sort of education have contributed and made V now equipped with such persevere and easy-going personality.
I always regard him as an artist who has come well-prepared with what it takes to be one. Although I'm not very talkative, he has chatted with me sharing much of his past and family situation. When we were the spokespersons for Lillo & Stitch and during a concert tour, I visited his family and saw some of his photos. He was fat in the photos. Don't get me wrong; there is nothing particular in my mentioning this. It's just that it's very difficult to make a connection between the guy in the photos and the guy now with such a beautiful body. This just shows you how strong his willpower is. This alone is a worthy lesson for all of us to learn from. (a smiling face drawn here by Zai) This book serves as a catalog recording his life journey. By reading this book, you no longer need to buy any gossip book.
I think no gossip books can be more sensational than what he has revealed in his own book. I'll cherish the book and also recommend it to people around me. May Van Ness always remain as happy, enthusiastic, humorous, and dedicated as when he just first started. Jia You! Brother.

Zai

For Clarification - http://jvkv.multiply.com

For Clarification

1. I don't own this forum. The forum is under multiply.com - We are here to exchange topics, ideas, comments, on F4 and etc.

2. Links - OBVIOUSLY I DON'T OWN it personally. Drama Serials are copyrighted and owned by the respective networks. And nobody owns it since it was just in downloaded form. Links should be protected by "filtering" it and send by requests. You may free to go to other forums if you want to. And nobody is stopping you to find some other resources.

3. This is a friendly forum - If you think this is not a perfect place for you, then feel
free to leave the forum. Look another one that will makes you happy. If you are not happy here -- why stay? ...aren't we friendly enough thinking that we made all possible resources available to everybody? Think Again.

4. Am not a POWER tripping person - Of course am one of the admins of this community. In any forums, there is also one or more than two admins who take control of it. Di mahirap na gawain ito thinking that most of us do also work and have our own lives.

5. Selfishness - Am not selfish. Am doing my job. Look what have these "giant" companies do to youtube users - they banned the links. We are protecting our forum, yourselves and most specially our people. If we found out that the links were distributed everywhere and if found pointing to us ---who to blame? you? of course, not. it's US! Think Again.

6. Let us continue spreading the love for F4. We started creating this place for us
(retardeds) and lately realized we should share it to others. Where is selfishness, huh?

7. Originality - Our group was formed since 2003 when Meteor Garden was started. We started at Yahoogroups then decided to create a community here in Multiply. So we belonged originally from F4 International Yahoogroups till we landed on JVKV.Multiply.com. Plain as simple. Group is well-established and most survived forum.

8. A big Thank You - Just want to say Thank you for your undying support. Let us forget what happened and start a brand new day.

To all people who participated, contributed, replied, commented, visited, lurked,
spying.... Thank You.

To my friends who keep on believing ... Mahal ko kayo.

=) We all stick together. Ika nga, di tayo matitibag kasi ----di tayo bato! hahahaha!!!


PS:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VANNESS. YES, ONE LOVE. =) ...

Fahrenheit replaces F4 as Taiwan Tourism Ambassadors

Source: Minpao
Translated by: bluebbear549 @ http://asianvn.com

Fahrenheit’s goal is to exceed F4’s during marketing in Japan and South Korea

Fahrenheit’s Wu Chun, Calvin Chen, Jiro Wang, and Arron Yan baton passed F4 becoming a spokesperson for the Taiwan Tourism, continuing to attack the Japan and South Korean market. F4’s past appeared astonishing, helping Taiwan earn at least 1.1 billion Taiwan dollars in tourism revenue. Fahrenheit believes that the pressure is really big, but they are trying to set a goal beyond F4’s. F4’s jobs were compared with Fahrenheit’s. For two times, F4 propagandizes successfully in Japan and South Korea with two fan meetings. There has also been rumors that in October, F4 will be holding 6 concerts in Japan; Fahrenheit had only 1 overseas publicity, 1 fan meeting. A magazine states that there is no way that they’ll beat F4.

Yesterday, Fahrenheit attended the Tourism Bureau press conference. Wu Chun, although is from Brunei, he is also Taiwanese. Wu Chun is trying to promote Taiwan’s water park. The other three members have introduced from Taiwan’s land to snacks, and to romantic places.

---------------------------------
THERE IS NO WAY THAT THEY CAN BEAT F4. Although I like CC hahaha!

We all knew that F4 has no interest of renewing their contract as Tourism Ambassadors because of conflict schedules of their individual works. But these media are making it a BIG DEAL. Oh well, Good Luck na lang. Ipasa daw ang pressure sa kanila. hehehe =)

Fahrenheit vs. F4

Fahrenheit vs. F4

Since the mention of their group popped up, the press prodded them about being compared to F4 of the hit Taiwanese series MeteorGarden. Both Chun and Calvin refused to say who’s more popular between the two groups these days.

Chun even claimed that F4 is “still big in Taiwan” and that both F4 and Fahrenheit have their fair share of supporters. As for being at par with F4, Chun’s opinion on the subject merely emphasized his down-to-earth personality.

"I think we still have a lot of things to learn. We are just new. We’ve been in showbiz for just three years. And I think F4 has been in this business for seven years or so. (And besides), we can’t judge this by ourselves. But what's important is that in all our dramas and record alcbums, we do our very best and hope that we get good results.”

thanks to claire for the photos

Am still waiting for weng's photos because meron akong posing dun holding jerry the alien breadman.hehehe.

*Ma'am Mimi madaya, di sumama.pero sa picture taking present.bwahahaha.

thanks to Mari of Certified Vann Addicts. Hello to Tita Amy. Nice seeing you once again. Hay istorbo talaga ang work sa mga meet up. bwahahaha.

Our main highlight was "Linger" (Zaizai's movie) but unfortunately my dvd got stuck up on claire's player and we decided to let it go and watch other clips. I don't know what happened. I actually seen the movie twice. First was i fell asleep because i was too tired from work then the second one, I wasn't aware that there was an audio option wherein i can switched the cantonese audio to mandarin (laughtrip!). The movie is not that long, and the story is very simple. Zaizai's character is I don't know if he's an illusion or a ghost with unfinished business on earth and keeps on asking Li BingBing "Do You Really Love Me?" What keeps me annoying is the female lead. You know i don't like her. She occupies 90% of the screentime. That's why i got bored. Zaizai looks horrible in "YKK" zipper as Jerry said in their F4 interview. Anyways back to our marathon, finally we were able to watched all thelatest clips of F4 from Jerry's Starlit, Hot Shots presscon, Vanness Kung Fu Chef, Vic's Lancome and many other F4 related news including the TV specials werein these four guys had bloopers on their rehearsals (Jan 2008 - Waiting for you the Album) ...

That's a one million dollar question.

I almost FORGOT the most significant date in my f4 fan-girling.

"May 25" - the birthdate of daomisyel. hahaha. Yes you read it. I remembered we created our F4_Phils Yahoogroups last May 25, 2003 weeks after Meteor Garden and decided to use "daomisyel as my pen name". Been so busy lately i forgot to greet some of my friends whom i still considered and kept as "sisters."

To all the people that I've met during those times --- Thank You for being part of our group.
However, I decided to lock up this forum and move to a new site. That's right. We ARE STILL ALIVE.

F4 Fever is still GETTING Higher. F4 is now growing up. Expenses are getting high too. LOL. (JOKE).

Anyways, don't forget to visit our site for more updates of F4.F4.F4. Nothing else but F4.
