濱崎步魅力澎湃群星朝聖紅館個唱開鑼仙姐也捧場 (明報) 04月 08日星期日 05:05AM

【明報專訊】日本百變天后濱崎步昨晚在紅館舉行《濱崎步TOUR OF SECRET演唱會》，吸引圈中不少藝人齊來朝聖，當中包括楊千嬅、白雪仙、許志安、陳奕迅、詩、鍾楚紅及葉德嫻等，足證步姐魅力

不凡。

宮廷服配小帽空降紅館

濱崎步在紅館出場的第一套衫，和早前在台灣演出的一樣，一套黑色性感宮廷服，頭頂戴上可愛小帽，步姐吊威也降落場中時，即時引起全場哄動，歌迷們起身投入大叫，回報步姐的勁歌熱舞。到第二首歌，步姐更走入金色鐵籠，配合另外4名舞蹈員，繼續以快歌保持眾人興奮的節奏。

缺席拜神歌迷失望齊噓

其實步姐為了今次亞洲巡迴演唱會香港站，可謂做足準備，前日到紅館綵排近10小時外，昨日下午4時便從酒店出發到紅館，只見架墨鏡的步姐狀態不錯，穿上黑色低胸衫，並繼續親民向歌迷揮手，其間一名男歌迷意圖撲向步姐，被現場保安人員捉實。而紅館後台亦聚集了過百名歌迷守候，可是步姐抵達後即躲進場內，就連7時大會的拜神儀式也沒有入鄉隨俗參與，結果換來歌迷的噓聲。

Fans大排長龍購精品

步姐的演唱會吸引到楊千嬅、白雪仙及許志安等圈中人朝聖，其中白雪仙最令人矚目，想不到仙姐對這位日本天后也有興趣。除此之外，有大批歌迷一早抵達紅館搜購步姐的精品，其中排頭位的男歌迷，於凌晨3時已來排隊。不過大會為了杜絕炒賣，不准歌迷購買同款物品，而一套集合步姐的精品，總值2136港元。

不准攜帶相機入場搜袋

大會亦為免閃光燈影響步姐演出，入場人士皆要搜袋，不准攜帶相機進場。大會還向進場歌迷派發小單張，為了慶祝步姐今日（8日）以「POKER FACE」出道9周年，希望在安歌時段一齊唱出「OMEDETOU」（意思恭喜），可以過萬人一同製造驚喜給步姐。

stars that came to the show include eason chan, miriam yeung, andy hui, and older generation stars pak suet sin and chung chor hung.

ayu arrived at the veune at 4pm, and didnt even come out of the venue for the worshipping ritual. fans were very disappointed.

many fans were queueing up for the merchandise goods. the first guy queued up since 3am. the whole set of gods costs HK$2136.

Everyone who entered had to have their bags searched and cameras confiscated. To surprise ayu, fans were instructed to say OMEDETOU to ayu for the 9th anniversary, and sing "poker face" to ayu.

Hmm, I'm guessing, she didn't come out of the venue for the "worshiping" because the people wanted to surprise her? Since, if she came out, she would've known?

Eh, I don't get that 2nd sentence much.

Impracticable · #4 8th April 2007, 05:03 AM

me either, i have no idea what it is supposed to mean =\

^ We, as in Chinese, usually have this worshipping ritual to worship the buddhist gods etc. for good luck, prosperity, good health and mainly just to make sure everything goes well. You'll see a lot of this worshipping culture when Chinese movies/tv series start filming etc. Someone please correct me if I'm not 100% correct seeing that I'm just Australian Chinese.

ayu_fan929 · #6 8th April 2007, 05:24 AM

^Yeah. That's what I see artists do right before the concert for good luck. And they also usually cut a piece of pig.

Eigakan · #7 8th April 2007, 05:56 AM

that's pretty interesting

But aren't they both Taoist and Buddhist gods? Yes, in the Chinese film and music industry, a lot of these rituals have to be done to ensure good luck.

Kind of similar to Shinto rituals... kami (gods) and stuff.

the second part where the fans surprise her with singing 'poker face' is during the concert. while the 'praying' part is BEFORE the concert

yes, we did that to hope everything will go smoothly, and that the spirts will not disturb the process. it's a sort of giving a respect for the spirt too

norain · #10 8th April 2007, 07:47 AM

Yes, but if they are telling everyone walking in, to sing poker face, she would've heard it? (confused)

4ever*ayu · #11 8th April 2007, 08:06 AM

Sim' · #15 8th April 2007, 12:08 PM

Why would she come out of the venue for the worshipping ritual? =o

She's christian, not buddhist in my knowledge...

How would she have heard it?

FeNgZhEnG · #18 8th April 2007, 03:13 PM

woah so many big HK stars went her concert.. thats good..

evolution7931 · #19 8th April 2007, 03:15 PM

Ayu is NOT Christian. It says it nowhere. Look at Part of Me PV. Since when has reincarnation been a Christian philosophy? Since never. Its Buddhist. I personally dont think shes a specific member of any religion in particular, I think she's just an open minded free thinking person

Sim' · #20 8th April 2007, 03:27 PM

You take the part of Me PV as an exemple, I take the M PV as my exemple =)
[Church, Maria, the cross]
And the part of Me isn't 100% related to reincarnation, well for me, everyone has a different point of view about the last part when the flowers appear!
I take it as the circle of life, as we were seeing the butterfly eated by the insect by the snake, maybe human give also life to flowers after the decomposition of the body...

Plus, she's wearing (or was wearing) the cross quite often =)
Between all the choices, I would personally say christian then, but it's my personal opinion of course, no fact =)

But well, only Ayu can know her own religion right now =/
[I don't remember reading something about Ayu's religion...]
