Park Shin Hye 2014 World Tour – Story of Angel in China: Chang Sha FM @ 9 Aug (朴信惠 2014 世界巡演長沙站)-박신혜-パク·シネ

Life is full of unexpectation and surprise! Tonight Chang Sha FM is definitely one of them!

It is Shin Hye’s fourth FM in China since 2 weeks ago, and it is my second one. So it do make sense after going through all those fans cam videos from Shanghai, Chongqing to Shen Zhen, with still really fresh memory on those young, HOT & can’t stop screaming SZ China fans, I don’t expect any surprise tonight. My original expectation is only to see can I just ignore all those screaming & focus on her live performance!

Well, tonight not much screaming actually. Chang Sha fans shows their support in another way rather than screaming from beginning to ends. Once Lovely Day music come out and Shin Hye appear from backstage, fans just standing up, leaving their chairs & gathering in front of the stage. We ( including me for sure ) waving hands & light sticks to cheers for her first song in Chang Sha. : ) It also happens when she presents awards to the winner of the C Girls Competition & then saying goodbye to all of us. So, fans should give a big hug to tonight concert hall security guard & staff!
For me, it has more fun in a concert actually!

Second big big surprise is without ” Without Words “, she sings Breakup for You, I am still… ( the Standing Eggs remake ) tonight. It is my second favorite after Without Words : ). I never expect she will have second rundown in China FM. Another great part coming from she is choosing all those heart-breaking hugging & kissing videos from TheHeirs as background screening for Standing Eggs remake song. And she even rap the part by herself tonight! Amazing! ( Shin Hye didn’t rap for this song in Tokyo FM )

I rarely describe how she dress in my FM blogging cos fans can have their own comment after seeing all photos. But I want to make one exception tonight. Her black & white with grey color tone dressing for judge part making her so cool & sharp tonight! In Cantonese description – 型到爆。

So, my little conclusion is I love Chang Sha fans more & I enjoy a great 2 days 1 night FM trip indeed. Wish she will have another great night in Beijing tomorrow. Then we ( Shin Hye & fans ) will have a month break until Taiwan & Thailand FM in mid September. I am so desperate to see she dance in Taiwan & Thailand FM now! LOL!

( I was in a hurry to upload my blogging last night due to I can only visit wordpress/twitter/facebook etc through my mobile phone data roaming day pass plus VPN connection before midnight. As usual, I would like to share a little bit more my overseas FM minor things & thought even though they are not related to the FM itself. So I write again during my train back HK today.

First, I am happy to meet QQ guy ( a nickname ) who help me go through all those China FM lucky draw ticketing things in his hometown finally. Even he is not a fan of Shin Hye & KR TV drama, he do accompanied me to watch last night FM. With his accompany, I can run around the concert hall freely & no need to worry about my bag/stuff etc. : )

Second, ride on the high-speed-railway in China, it only takes around 6 hours from HK ( my home ) to Chang Sha. A really fast and comfortable ride with budget ticket prices. It really changes our concept of “travel”. For me, I don’t really count it as a “ oversea trip “ even I travel from the southern part to the central part of China. : ) And hope one day I no need those VPN connection but still can tweet, communicate with the rest of world from there! )

Park Shin Hye 2014 World Tour – Story of Angel in China: ShenZhen FM @ 3 Aug (朴信惠 2014 世界巡演深圳站)-박신혜-パク·シネ

From JP to China, Shin Hye has already held her FM tour across 5 Asia cities in last 16 days. Quite amazing indeed!

I used to mentioned in my Tokyo FM blogging the variety of Shin Hye’s JP fans base is amazing. Tonight, when we look into her China Fans base, it is dominated by young people for sure. Those young & HOT fans screaming from beginning to ends, from speaking her Chinese name loudly to everything! In the matter of facts, I also screaming with them to enjoy my great time in SZ night. LOL! And if you go to watch all those fans cam videos, you will find China fans singing along with Shin Hye really much. Tonight, most of fans sing along with her in the chorus part of Without Words & My Dear! In a word to re-cap, China FM is HOT! Full of passion! One moment, I thought I am in a rock n roll concert! : D

Since the China FM is part of the TongYi Juices – C Girl Competition Campaign, it also raises my interest on how to combine the theme of ” Story of Angel ” & ” C Girl ” things together. Especially the FM only in 1 hour long duration.

The mix & match with the combination of Story of Angel lighting backdrop, a really attractive FM theme music to those CF, Q & A related to TongYi Juices in a quite smooth transition actually. The overall approach and the way to deliver the message for China FM is pretty straight forward – her popular songs + most popular TV video clips + game with fans + answer fans’ Weibo questions & some questions from MC. A little bit difficult to find any surprise here.

Shin Hye’s full of passion & emotion singing to echo with those video shot from TheHeir & You’re Beautiful in a big screen to create a good impact on the audiences/fans. Fans screams a lot no matter what they saw & listened! And the Chinese version of My Dear is no doubt be another highlight after Story & Without Words. Even it is not the first time she sing a Chinese song. ( Personally I really love the Chinese version of Lovely Day she sang in last year Shanghai FM, I watched that video clip from YouTube all the time! LOL )  The video to talk about her brother & their childhood as the good leads to introduce the song. And again, her live performance for My Dear Chinese version proving to us her promising in singing.

The last thing I would like to share is she feels a little bit sad tonight. May be she emotional too involve when singing Without Words, I see her tears with such kind of sadness affection. It is not a kind of feeling I ever got from all those previous FM videos. In my memory, she always feel so happy, even had some touching moment with crying in FM, but just not in this kind of sadness sharing.

Chang Sha is her next stop after SZ. Ride on the high speed rail network, I am going to experience the so called ” living circle of high-speed-rail” in coming weekend. : )

( The following part of blogging not really about the FM itself. Just some personal sharing about the ” unbelievable ” & ” complicated ” process to play and redeem the China FM ticket. As a person who was born in HK, living in HK & have a lot personal & professional interaction with China, in the matter of fact, do I entitle to participant a commercial sponsor game in China? It don’t state it clearly from the game official website, at least I couldn’t find such info. And after a lot of chaos in China Style , even I do secure a FM ticket after lucky draw the last week of June, but I can only update my personal info with my China ID info successfully 3 days before the SZ FM. The reason we need to do so is because the FM ticket can only been redeemed with our China ID card plus the email invitation on the event day. As a dot.com person to earn her living in Internet in past 1x years, I admit I just couldn’t believe will have a game which suppose riding on online platform for lucky draw and redemption part will be have such huge amount of manual work at the end! And I really appreciate those Small C from TongYi Official Weibo account to help me to verify my identity )

Park Shin Hye 2014 World Tour – Story of Angel in Japan: Tokyo FM @ 20 July (朴信惠 2014 世界巡演東京站)-박신혜-パク·シネ

（寫於中文的內容，跟英文原版不完全相同）

20:30 – I get lost in Tokyo AGAIN! ( I was so lost in Shinjuju for my Tokyo Marathon in Feb, and never expect I will get lost again in Ikebukuro! LOL ) Well, I total lost in Ikebukuro JR Station under heavy rains after the FM. After some searching, I finally in a taxi back hotel.

16:35 – One great thing for Japan FM, and it may be total different comparing with all other overseas FMs, is any photos or videos taking is prohibited during the event. More, once you enter the concert hall, where no any mobile signal can be found anymore, the only thing you can do is to concentrate on the FM itself. No any distraction it could be. 🙂

17:45 – Today/tonight is 100% Park Shin Hye vs Cha Eun Sang thing. No offence to all other ShinHye fans who are more favour on You’re Beautiful, Heart Stings or Flower Boys Next Door, but it is a FM to pay tribute to TheHeirs ( IMHO ). If you are a big fans of TheHeirs like me, even you don’t know any Japanese and Korean ( It’s me – LOL ), you still will be really enjoy the FM. From the first song Shin Hye sang as the opening of the FM, Story, to the “ best of best videos “ from TheHeirs are chosen to share, you will find so deep emotional sharing from ParkShinHye to ChaEunSang. It is so amazing we can actually sit in a same hall, to watch & to share part of the best video scene with EunSang herself!!!

And you can imagine how excited we are when Shin Hye dress in a Jeguk High School uniform to show up on stage. I am trying to search a vocabulary from my mind to describe how she look like in that uniform tonight, it is more than “ cute “, sure it is really “ cute “ , but still a lot more feeling can be filled inside rather than just “ cute “. Again, ParkShinHye/ChaEunSang in an uniform to take a group photo with all of fans tonight.

17:05 – Another great surprise for me is I never expect her live vocals can be so great. I have watched a lot of her previous FM videos from YouTube and China websites, from A.N.JELL, first JP FM, last year Shanghai, Manilla, Thailand FM, to this year New York Drama Fever FM, I know her Iive songs performance is full of emotion and better than the soundtrack, but what I have listened tonight is still a lot out of my expectation.If you compare “ Without Words “ from last year ShangHai FM to today Tokyo one, you will understand what I am trying to say here. I can really feel a young and talented artist to put her hearts on her career. And the overall concert arrangement from what she dress/hair style to the lighting & sound quality is so wonderful. Fighting!

Well, Shin Hye’s big brother Shin Won sure is another highlight for the night. It is a warm and funny brother-sister sharing things to fans. Much appreciated.

18:30 – Interaction with fans should play an crucial role in a FM. And for tonight FM, we are just full of laughs for all games & lucky draw playful things. One of the best arrangement I will name it is after Shin Hye making some juice and some fans has been chosen by her to taste it, she actually come down from stage to the floor to pass the juice to those chosen fans one by one, it makes her actually walking around the concert floor to connecting with most of fans in a near distance.

19:00 – The variety of fan-base is another great thing I would like to share. I saw different age group fans come today. More women than men. And JP fans is so subtle and shy. No offence again! Just true feeling. Highly appreciated again!

19:30 – After a sort of say goodbye to all of us and a video message from her full of emotion voice, I thought it should be the end of the FM … She sudden appear in the stage again with a new set of dress in a casual style! She sang one more song The Day We Fall in Love for us and we are all so excited to clap hands along the song, some of us even standing up to cheer for the moment.

19:45 – Shin Hye starts to signing for fans who have purchased the official goods today. It must have more than 100 fans in the signing queue. Her smile during signing is a little bit tired actually. May be too demanding after 2.5 hours long FM?

01:21 – I am happy can finish my blogging with so fresh memory. Next is should I just go bed or re-watch a little bit TheHeirs from my iPad mini? 😀

Good night – for all those good memories tonight : )

( Special thanks to all great JP fans & JP Fan Club staff on some Japanese/English  translation help today )

今天在回程時，寫了一個中文版，發在微博！也放在這裡。

昨晚信惠東京的 FM ，只能用超級好看去形容！特別是當大會說明不準拍照及錄影。當你進到會場時，你㑹發現連手機訊號也沒有了。那一刻的好，是要一點時間去体㑹的！這讓我們更專心、更珍惜眼前的時光。聽過的、看到的、一同歡呼驚嘆過的，那些美好的回憶，更多留在腦海心底𥚃。

我相信每一個 FM 的 Rundown，是不可能完全複製，總是會因應環境、場地和覌眾而有所不同。東京的 Rundown，是屬於日本 Fans 的。日本 Fans 的含蓄、害羞、內斂，做就了她兩度從台上跑下來，又從容地完成了她的任務，跑回台上去。Body Guard, 嗯，像見不到！也沒需要！

每一個 FM，可能都需要一個主題。這次的 FM，不只是屬於朴信惠的，還是屬於車恩尚的。從 FM 第一首歌「 Story 」開始、到之後每一個環節，都跟「継承者們」緊緊相扣。

如果你是一名超級「継承者們」Fans ，即使你完全不懂日文和韓文，像我，這個 FM，你還是會看得很投入和盡情的。從最佳片段分享、車恩尚經典鏡頭大合照遊戲、信惠親手弄並送給粉絲享用的果汁環節，每一個 Moment，都會勾起我們對車恩尚、對継承者們的回憶！FM 中，可以告訴大家，大部分時間，都是充滿笑聲的！

寫到這𥚃，即使你不在現場，也可以想像到當我們看到穿上了「帝國高中」校服的信惠，跑到台前時，台下的歡呼聲是如何響遍全場。有趣的是，這個舞台上的「車恩尚」，其實不太「車恩尚」，反而是一個帶点佻皮的朴信惠多一點！而這一晚的大合照，自然也是屬於佻皮的「車恩尚」和所有Fans的！

相信對喜愛「継承者們」的粉絲來說，我們可以在同一個空間中，跟車恩尚一同回憶、感受劇中某些難忘片段，感覺，很奇妙！

信惠哥哥的出場，當然也是這晚的重點之一。除了哥哥為妹妹彈結它伴奏的場面，樸實的哥哥，和開著玩笑的妹妹，跟 Fans 間的互動，也很溫馨。當台下粉絲大叫著哥哥的名字，哥哥也欣然受落，還像捨不得離開舞台的情景，便很親切。最後，哥哥可還是給妹妹笑著拉着回到後台啦！

全晚的開場，像一場 mini concert。當然我是知道她的現場演繹是很有感情、很好看的，也帶有期待。但這晚的 Live ，從 Story 的第一句開始、到 Without Word，之後的 Break Up then,Still… ( Standing Eggs remake )，每一句，都完全出乎我預期的好！這部分，從舞台背景燈光到造型衣著，配合得很出色！她的努力和付出，相信現場的 Fans 們都感受到。Fighting！
