Gift From Chicago

Today, I got a package from Lauren. Inside, they contain program books from Taiwan and S. Korea plus a small poster and a folder. You could say this is my super-early-birthday-gift. Lol. Thank you so much :DD!! I love them.

Libera BBC Survey Interview

In case you've missed the live broadcast of the interview, djkoyottes, a YT user, has posted a video of the whole interview with RP, Ben and Michael. Merci beaucoup :). Also, pictures of Libera' Spring tour to Taiwan and S. Korea can be seen the video and their music can be heard while the interview is being played.

 

Spring Tour 2013 Photos

Libera's photos from their Spring tour is out. And I have to say these photos are simply magnificent. Love their funny poses and close up pictures of their concerts. As usual, I won't post all of their photos in my blog, as I'll only pick a few. But you can check them all out here. Enjoy!

Libera's Thank You Message For Korea

As promised, I'll post the two videos from Ny. I'm not sure if the two videos really goes to her. Just credit her name. And thanks to Jeannot Lapin for reposting the videos on YouTube. The first video is from Michael and Issac. The second video is from Cassius, Eoghan and Kavana.

 

Pics From Taiwan and S.Korea

Hello all. First of all, I will not post pictures/fancams from fans from the concert, both Taiwan and Korea, as there are too many to post. You can check out Lauren's blog. She has tons of pictures. Patrick and Yuki also post a few photos from all the concerts. Do check them out :). If you're copying them, be sure to credit their names. 
Secondly, Artemis Arts FB page have post some photos of Libera having lunch with the Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers. I will not post all of the photos. You can go to their FB page to see more.
And lastly, Ny, Libera's guide/translator for their Korea tour, have posted some photos of Libera having lunch and a cake specially delivered to them. According to Inna, they're doing a project every time Libera comes to Korea. Remember the teddy bears and the other souvenirs from their Korea tour 2010? Plus, there's also a radio interview with Jude, Cassius, Kavana and Ben. Ny also have some videos but I'll post them later. Keep an eye for the update ;).

Please take credit to all the photos from each trip, as I do not own any of them. Thanks.

Aww. The cake is soy cute XDXD!!! Love the little moose.

Oh yeah. Oppa Gangnam Style! Haha. Yeah, they were given each a pair of socks and chopsticks. I have to say Psy is famous among Libera members. Hopefully one day, the boys will meet the real singer.

The interview:-

Terrific Taiwan 1 & 2

I'm sure you guys know what always comes whenever Libera goes for a tour. Yep, that's right! Their blogs. Libera posted two blog about their trip to Taiwan. Sorry I forgot to post them earlier. In part 2, I agree with the writer. It's very rare that they're singing a song in Mandarin. And it's special to the Taiwanese fans. Yes, pronouncations can be a bit hard. But once you learn hard enough, you might get it right :). And not only that, if you listen to the song a lot more, you can sing it with good pronouncations. I guarantee it. This works for me when I tried to sing a few lines of a Chinese song. Apart from this, I heard amazing reviews from fans who went to their concerts there.

Click here for part 1 and here for part 2. 

Taiwan Tour Promo

Libera has just upload a video of their Taiwan tour promo. FYI, the boys are almost here :)! Excited? Sad to say, I cannot go this time due to busy schedules and I can't miss classes again. But overall, have fun for the people who are going. I had my experience. To the fans who are seeing them for the first time, it is your time now :)! And to the boys, I wished you good luck and have fun on your tour :). In the video, you can see a clip of the group singing 'The Moon Represent My Heart'. And Issac, Jude, Michael and Cassius talking about the song. I have to say that they did had a hard time learning the song. But with more practice, they managed to get it right. And yes, they are fluent of the song. Ha ha. Love the way you say it, Cassius. Learn more Mandarin if you want to communicate with your Taiwanese fans :).  

Ben and Cassius Greets Taiwanese Fans

The Taiwan concert is drawing near, you guys :). If you haven't booked your tickets yet, you can still do so. To lighten up the mood, Artemis Arts posted a video of Ben and Cassius greeting the Taiwanese fans. They spoke in two languages: English and Chinese. To the two boys, don't feel upset if your pronouncations are bad. I know it's hard to learn Chinese. But keep trying. You were doing a great job. If you guys can speak Korean well, I'm sure you can for Chinese. I bet all the fans will be excited to hear them speaking in their language. I wonder if they know how to speak Hokkien because in Taiwan, they also speak Hokkien. But to be honest, it's better you guys stick to Chinese, to avoid confusion :).

Song List for Spring Tour

 (c): Artemis Art FB page

Artemis Art have posted a song list for the spring tour. Song of Life still remains. How I remember Ralph's pure voice. He he. How Can I Keep From Singing is added back in the list. It's been a while since Libera sang that song. The rest of the songs I'm familiar with due to last year's spring tour :). Of course, there'll be two encores for the concert. One is The Moon Represents My Heart and Libera.

Sneak Peek of The Moon Represents My Heart

Sorry for the late update, guys. Here is the video about Libera singing The Moon Represents My Heart by Teresa Teng. It's just a preview only. And I'm amazed that their Chinese is superb. Not to mention the perfect pronouncation. I wonder if there will be an MV of this song. Thanks to Artemis Art for the video. Enjoy.

Libera's Ice Cream Photoshoot

This is one photoshoot I've never seen before. And that is Libera having an ice cream photoshoot. This reminds me of Big Bang doing a photoshoot of Baskin Robbins. He he! Anyways, they all look so cute in the pictures. You can see more here. 

 

Korea Concert Promo Video

Now that we have seen Taiwan concert promo video, it's time to check out the Korea concert promo. In the video, you can see the same footage of the London concert last year and past tour to Korea in 2010. Plus, Issac, Dylan and Ciaran speaking Korean! Wow! Dylan speak the most. Just like Barney speaking Japanese :)! That is so amazing! They did a great job too.
The video was originally by Seoul Arts Management. But thanks to Inna for reposting the video ^_^♥ Kamsahamida!

Spring Tour 2013 Video

Hi all. Sorry for the late update. Was busy with college exams. Few days ago, Artemis Art posted two videos for the Spring tour to Taiwan and Korea this 2013. In the video, you can see some footage from their London concert last November. Here's one in English:-

And here's one in Chinese. I heard from Lexi's blog that Libera is going to sing a Chinese song for the Taiwan concert, entitled Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin (月亮代表我的心). The English translation is The Moon Represents My Heart. Let me tell you a little bit more about the song, for those who don't know. This song is sung by the late Teresa Teng and is very popular song among us Chinese. All my friends know this song. I remember them singing in class ;). Ha ha!

Anyways, I've provided the lyrics below. Both with Pin Yin subtitles and English translation. (Sorry I can't type in Chinese).

Pin Yin:                                                                            

ni wen wo ai ni you duo shen
wo ai ni you ji fen
wo de qing ye zhen
wo de ai ye zhen
yue liang dai biao wo de xin

ni wen wo ai ni you duo shen
wo ai ni you ji fen
wo de qing bu yi
wo de ai bu bian
yue liang dai biao wo de xin

* qing qing de yi ge wen
yi jin da dong wo de xin
shen shen de yi duan qing
jiao wo si nian dao ru jin

* ni wen wo ai ni you duo shen
wo ai ni you ji fen

* ** ni qu xiang yi xiang
ni qu kan yi kan
yue liang dai biao wo de xin

Repeat *

Repeat **

English Translation (take note that the translation may not be accurate):-

 You ask me how deep my love for you is,

How much I really love you…
My affection is real.
My love is real.
The moon represents my heart.

You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you…
My affection does not waver,
My love will not change.
The moon represents my heart.

* Just one soft kiss
is enough to move my heart.
A period of time when our affection was deep,
Has made me miss you until now.

* You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you.

* ** Go think about it.
Go and have a look [at the moon],
The moon represents my heart.

Repeat *

Repeat **

If you want to know how the song goes like, here's the original MV :). 

Libera's CNY Greetings

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, guys. Libera has posted a CNY greeting to all of us. Thanks to Art Artemis for the link. This was my dream that they'll do a greeting for CNY someday. And this year, my wish has came true :D. I was surprise that they spoke Mandarin. Ha ha! Well, practice more, guys, for your Taiwan concerts. They actually greet us in three words. The first one I'm not sure. But the two other words are "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (said by Cassius) and "Xin Nian Kuai Le" (said by Ben). I hear these words a lot during Chinese New Year. Guys, I won't blame you for wrong pronouncations :). Keep trying.

To all blog readers, have a prosperous year of the snake :).

Attention to all Korean fans! Libera has announced that they will be having a concert on the 13 April, 2013 at the Sejong Center. Most probably it'll be after their Taiwan concerts. I'm glad they're going back to Korea for another great concert. I bet all their fans are happy to hear this. My vacation to Korea last February brings me back memories. I wanna go back there again. I thought that Libera will go to Japan after Taiwan. But it's Korea instead. Sorry, Japan. Maybe next Spring tour in 2014, perhaps :). 

Stay tune for more updates. Hope all of you guys can go :).

3 November:

A friend of mine named Jean has tweeted on Twitter that Libera is coming to Taiwan next year for the Spring tour. Wow! Happy for Libera and other Taiwanese fans, plus Jean too :). Thanks so much for the great news, Jean :D. First this year is Singapore, now Taiwan. Looks like Libera is touring to new countries a lot. Hopefully they can come to my country next. Dates, time and venues are out now. Ticket prices are not announced yet. Will update more soon :). I hope many people can go.
Oh and by the way, many of you are hoping that Libera will come back to countries like Japan, Philippines, and Singapore. We are not sure what Libera has installed for us. But fingers crossed that Libera might extend their Spring tour to other countries after they visit Taiwan, okay? :)
