6 October 2008 A-do at a Yunnan food festival with Kym Jin Sha

(youyou URLs removed)

They were surrounded by so many fans that the police had to be called in to clear the way for them to leave. While they were being interviewed backstage, many of the backup dancers who had just finished their performance requested for photos.

A-do said he hopes his album will be out by the end of this year. I hope so too, it’s just been over a year since his last Release.

Survey of Chinese speaking public’s perception of Chinese artistes’ professionalism

(Pardon me if I sound a little academic in my translation, I am doing a project for school at the moment.)

Multiple voting is possible. A-do is listed as a Hong Kong/Taiwan male singer on the list.

圆满每个梦 (Fulfil every dream)

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/IdJWu9fsjPk (link from taozideshouhou's blog)

The tune may sound familar, because this song was eventually recorded by Hong Kong girl duo Twins as 我很想爱他 (I really want to love him) A-do recorded this song in 2006 for a charity organisation in Taiwan called 阶梯梦想基金会 (which I shall take the liberty to translate as Step Dreams Organisation) which sends children from poor families to school, if I remember correctly. It's a nice and simple song, and I was a little disappointed when it wasn't chosen as one of the songs in his album.

The Chinese character 杜 in a Korean name

While doing research for my project this morning, I saw this name in my search results:

李杜鉉(Yi Tu-hyŏn)

Based on the Google results, it seems that he specialises in Korean folk drama.

Discovery of the day: not only can you register the character 杜 in a Japanese personal name, you can also do so in a Korean name.


Much A-do about...: A Japanese阿杜?
