Wang LeeHom's Musicman concert took the stage with a bang last night at 台北小巨蛋 the Taipei Arena. The technology and special effects used in the concert cost more than $50,000,000 NTD to design and build, but it drew the admiration and appreciation of the more than 12,000 fans who filled the arena. His pecs, which he has been working out diligently for quite some time, were finally revealed last night for his fans to see. His $1,000,000 NTD "Bahamut" dragon guitar was one of the main focal points of the concert, accompanying LeeHom as he "violently" ripped and produced the heating power of "rock 'n' roll" on stage.

Gigantic "Comic" Scene on Screen: Highly Amusing

The concert, sponsored solely by Sony Ericsson, was entertaining from the very beginning; to open up the concert, a four-panel comic of LeeHom's Musicman was shown on the big screen.

The "Bahamut" dragon guitar was suspended in mid-air at the very beginning of the concert. Then, as the guitar was raised slowly higher and higher into the air, LeeHom, who was standing on a platform higher up in the air, was slowly lowered. He held his newly completed Chinese Landscape Electric Guitar and performed his new single, 搖滾怎麼了!! [Yao Gun Zen Me Le!!] [What Happened To Rock 'n' Roll?!], as he descended; fireworks and sparks were shot into the air both at the beginning of and at the end of the song as an added special effect, bringing the whole concert to a "climax" point early on.

After he finished performing a new "rock 'n' roll" version of 龍的傳人 [Long De Chuan Ren] [Descendants of the Dragon], LeeHom said to his fans, "Music is just like oxygen. It's proof that we're alive and that we're living with a lot of passion and emotion." Afterwards, he asked his fans repeatedly, "Are you guys living with passion and emotion?" Unexpectedly, however, the atmosphere cooled down as a result of his questions!

LeeHom Shows Off His Muscles; Fans Shout Loudly, "Take it off! Take it off!"

As he was performing his sentimental ballad Forever Love, LeeHom stepped down from the stage to interact more closely with his fans. A female fan unexpectedly gave him some carnations; some others yelled, "Wang LeeHom!" He replied, "I am Musicman! It's only after I remove my make-up and take off my clothes that I am Wang LeeHom." The fans immediately yelled in response, "Take it off! Take it off!"

Over the course of the concert, LeeHom wore a total of seven different outfits; one of the outfits featured an open vest which exposed his bulky chest and robust arm muscles... very manly! During his performance of 竹林深處 [Zhu Lin Shen Chu] [In the Depths of the Bamboo Grove], sexy female dancers appeared on stage to dance with him.

Ex-Girlfriend A-mei Sends Fruit To Boost His Morale

In order to prepare for his two concerts, which will be held on consecutive days, LeeHom spent three days in silence in hopes of saving and protecting his voice, relying on sign language and writing to communicate rather than spoken words. LeeHom concentrated fully on blocking and rehearsing from the day before yesterday until approximately 4:30 A.M. yesterday; only afterwards did he sleep for a short while. Before the concert, LeeHom drank some chicken soup in order to boost his energy and strength.

LeeHom's former girlfriend A-mei Chang HuiMei had fruit delivered to his dressing room backstage in order to help boost his morale and cheer him on. By a strange stroke of coincidence, the flower baskets sent by Jay Chou JieLun and Patty Hou PeiCen respectively were set next to each other, while Jolin Tsai YiLin's was directly across from Patty's. 江蕙 Judy Chiang Hui also sent flowers; she strung together the characters of LeeHom's name to write a message of "blessing" and good luck for him.
