K-Pop, J-Pop, MandoPop Do Battle in Taiwan
March 12th, 2007 by ddThat little ‘renegade province’ otherwise known as Formosa, I mean Taiwan, sure is causing a lot of consternation and not just in the world of politics.
In the span of one week, three titans of Asian Pop (well, actually 2.5) will be working to win the hearts of the Taiwan concert-goers. Reigning King of K-Pop, Rain, continues his world tour with a stopover on March 31. This clashes directly with Angela Zhang whose concert, on her home turf no less, will be the same day.
Angela’s record company has sent her stylist to buy a heap of clothing, planning to use a myriad of styles to compete with Rain’s monster production show. When Angela Zhang heard that her idol Rain’s concert conflicted with hers, she helplessly said, “Then I will have no chance to see his performance, what a pity.”
Meanwhile, J-Pop sensation, Ayumi Hamasaki, will hold a concert one week earlier on the 24th. Tickets were sold out within 2 hours and organizers were trying to add another show to meet the high demand.
