Um:
Mayday and Fahrenheit, enjoying each others’ company. But, but, but… why?
Well, it’s simple. Monster wrote a song for Fahrenheit’s new album, the turncoat. Fahrenheit then proposed a photo op in which the two groups get together and they thank Monster/Mayday for the song, called “Stay (留下來).” The article suggests that Mayday was surprised and delighted, though I’d probably assume the stress there should be on the word “surprised.”
Fahrenheit says that rock ‘n’ roll is a particularly manly thing, though as soon as you start stressing how manly your recent activities are the manliness of them is immediately called into question. (Plus honestly, girls can’t play rock music?) Anyway, because rock is so manly, they were particularly excited to have Monster write for them (um, because he’s so manly? Wait, he is a bit of a bad ass, as I’ve noted before. Okay, fair point). I do feel duty-bound to point out that having music written for you (because you can’t write it yourself?) is neither particularly manly nor particularly rock ‘n’ roll. But they love their shiny new Monster song, and were very excited to have the chance to meet Mayday to express their gratitude. So they (Fahrenheit) prepared an energy drink and fruit to share, and invited Mayday to come and have some pictures taken.
Anyone who knows Monster at all, however, should realize that the proper way to thank him for anything is through beer, not energy drinks. It’s manly and rockin’!
Ashin had other work obligations that day, but the other four went and toasted and drank. Arron Yan excitedly noted that he attended their concert in Taichung last year, having specially cleared the time from his busy work schedule. Calvin said that when he studied in Canada, he always played their CDs in the car when he was driving to and from school. Chun has never seen Mayday perform live before, but he said that his friends in Brunei are all huge fans, and are always asking him to try and get CDs autographed for them. He hopes that next time the band has a concert he can be in the audience. Jiro, who likes to think of himself as a rock star and has his own little underground band on the side, brought his guitar along to get some tips from Monster. He noted that Mayday is the goal of so many Taiwanese kids who play in bands, he too hopes that one day he can bring his band “Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛)” into this kind of future. Um, first thing: write your own music, Jiro. Second thing: maybe leave the boyband… though he certainly doesn’t sound like he cares much about its future, huh? (This paragraph was brought to you with some help from Wikipedia, because I have studiously tried to avoid learning the names of the members of Fahrenheit. So Wu Zun is actually “Chun”?)
Anyway, when Mayday learned that the “handsome idols” in Fahrenheit wanted to visit, they couldn’t help but joke that their female employees and coworkers were all more excited than they were; they hadn’t realized that writing a song for Fahrenheit could bring so much joy to their workplace. There are more pictures here.
guaishou looks like a pretty boy in the picture!
looks as if his face was heavily photoshopped :X
Haha, it’s true. But I’d also say that “handsome idol group” notwithstanding, the best-looking guy in that picture is Monster. The hair on Masa, Stone, and pretty much all of Fahrenheit is not working for me.
Guanyou looks like he’s about 12.
I think some of the really hardcore fangirls actually call “Wu Zun”…erm…”Chunnie.” I have no idea which one he is, of course, nor do I really care.
Anyone else notice the weird look on Guanyou’s face when he’s drinking the energy drink? He looks like he’s about to throw up. I’m not sure whether it’s the drink or the company. Seriously, who told Fahrenheit that they could release another album?
I think Wu Zun is the one on the right who looks like Celine Dion.
You’ve really hit the nail on the head with Jiro, there. The extent to which Fahrenheit does not wish to be Fahrenheit cracks me up.
ANYWAY, I really was shocked when I read that Monster had written them a song. I immediately came here to read your thoughts XD
Awww, you guys are always so snarky toward Fahrenheit. They’re fun and humble, and seem to look up to Mayday as musicians. Anyways, Mayday and FLH are two of my favoriate Cpop acts, so I was totally giddy when I found out Monster wrote a song for the prettiest pretty boys of Taiwan. Come on, you know you’re gonna listen to the song either way. Don’t try and fight it lol.
Just love the little comment Merry added here and there.. It’s awesome. And how Steve referring Wu Zun as Celine Dion. this is great.
為什麼我怎麼看都覺得五月天比較帥… XP
Ah. Expected this reaction from Mayday fans. But…
Aww! Two of the hottest acts in the Cpop industry! I can’t wait for them to collaborate! =D
Although I love Mayday, I’m not against boybands at all (C’mon, stop grumbling already), and I’m sure that Monster will make sure that the song will be well done.
Hobielover: Guan You looks absolutely fine to me! =D And it was Fahrenheit’s company that told them they could release their 3rd album. Their album sales proved it too. Yup, hope I answered your question! =)
From left to right (for confused people):
Arron Yan, Jiro Wang, Calvin Chen, Wu Zun (or as hobielover says, Chunnie hehe)
Hope this helps! =D
@jie lun rox: I mean the grimace he’s making in one of the pictures at the link.
It’s hilarious! Oh, and seeing you commenting here reminds me that I have yet to make use of the Anti-Fahrenheit thread on Jay-Chou.net. Shame on me!
^ No problem. I’m glad you can make use of it now!
hahahaha…. fahrenheit and mayday just cannot be mixed together…
