TAIWAN BOY BAND
• Taiwan boy band Mayday make music with a happy-go-lucky attitude. You may find their
music a bit noisy and childish but they do raise your spirits. This Saturday they are coming to Shanghai to deliver their 2005 Final Home Mayday Shanghai concert. “I hope she resembles a kipper” Mayday has recently released their new album “Contentment Just My Pride”. It has been six years since their debut, and the five boys think that it’s time to review their music careers. This album includes 15 popular songs from their previous albums and 6new singles. The band lead singer Ashin says the title of the album shows their thanks to their fans. Among new singles, “Kipper” was inspired from a dialogue in Stephen Chow’s film Shaolin Soccer: “If a person has no dreams, he is no better than a kipper.” Talking about his ideal girlfriend, Ashin says, “I hope she resembles a kipper, never rot, stay with me forever and goes well with rice！” “We fight!” A reporter once asked Mayday whether there were any conflicts between band members. “Well, we fight!” Ashin answered with a smile. “Just kidding. We’ve known one another for years so there shouldn’t be any problem. And if we do have different ideas on music, we will sit down and discuss them.” The best way to relax How did Mayday members spend their holidays? “We have no desire to travel around in holidays. The fact is, to us, the best way to relax is simply sleep! During holidays, Ashin sleeps 20 hours a day and spends the rest 4 resting. You know ,people get tired if they sleep too much…” Any sports activities? All band members are known as best sportsmen in terms of playing online games.
