[ARTICLE] MP Donates NTD500K, Inspiring Hearts With Their Singing & Drum-Playing

(Article was posted on Sunday, August 3rd)

Rock band Magic Power performed an acoustic version of「Going Back In Time」and gave a drum performance today, hoping to inspire strength in everyone, and also announcing that they would be donating NTD 500,000 to the「81 Gas Pipeline Explosion (Rebuilding) Project」.



Magic Power is composed of members Ting ting, Ga ga, Kai kai, Goo goo, Leibao and Ah Xiang. Their new album「Fighting For Love」will be released on the 19th, & for their pre-order autograph session held this afternoon in Ximending, Taipei, a last minute modification was made to their set-list, where they opened the performance with a heart-warming, acoustic version of「Going Back In Time」. Following that, the six of them went down from the stage to play on「War Drums」, and the sound of the drums reverberated throughout the entire venue.

Ting Ting and Ah Xiang lived in Kaohsiung when they were young, and Ting Ting revealed that he felt really upset after reading the news about the pipeline explosions in Kaohsiung. As such, other than making a donation, Magic Power also wanted to put what they're good at - music - to good use, which was why they chose to sing「Going Back In Time」, hoping that everyone would be able to cherish their loved ones. And at the same time, they also dedicated the song to all the Kaohsiung people (friends), to give them energy.

For Ah Xiang, he raised a point saying that, "If you have friends or relatives staying at Kaohsiung, please make a phone call or send a text message to let them know that the whole of Taiwan is united as one" and also called on everyone to help in their own way - those with money should donate & those with the strength to work should help with disaster relief. Goo goo expressed, that with everyone's sweat and tears irrigating the land, there would no need to be worried or afraid, as Taiwan would definitely be able to recover & get up on her feet again.

Kai kai said that he was so upset after reading the news about the Kaohsiung gas pipeline explosion that he cried and immediately gave his Mum a hug, mentioning that he would treasure every single moment spent with his family even more. And as for Ga ga, he hopes that everyone would be able to approach each day with a positive attitude, and to cherish the people, situations and objects in their lives properly.

Lastly, Magic Power mentioned that, taking their fans' safety and emotions into consideration, they have decided to postpone their pre-order autograph session at Kaohsiung Dream Mall, which was initially scheduled for the 10th. However, Kaohsiung is a place with a lot of compassion, and with everyone sending their love to Kaohsiung, (the reporter) believes that Kaohsiung would definitely be able to recover in no time.

[ARTICLE] Magic Power Crazily Holds 7 Autograph Sessions / Using「Mayday's Trump Card」To Help Fans

Reporter Hsiao Cai Wei/Reporting from Taipei

Magic Power has been receiving a lot of support from young fans, and with their super high popularity and stylish trend-setting image, they've been frequently invited to be on the cover of various lifestyle magazines. Most recently, MP was featured on the cover of 《MILK》 magazine’s July 31st issue dressed in cool, denim outfits.

Magic Power has built up their popularity from all the various autograph sessions that they've had, starting from the small group of people that they came initially, to the massive crowd that spills out onto the streets where they perform at now. Even if they have to face the huge "hot test" in this scorching summer heat, they're still adamant about holding these crazy street-invasion-style pre-order autograph sessions, with their record label spending (NTD) millions to fulfill their request. For these autograph sessions, Magic Power referenced their seniors, top rock band Mayday's, experience and likewise, gave out number tags to fans for them to queue up for autographs as it would effectively reduce the time fans spent on queuing up. They will be holding their fourth 《Fighting For Love》album pre-order autograph session at Ximending Red House on August 3rd.

[ARTICLE] COOL: Celebrities' Private Items | Top EDM Rock Band! MagicPower

After a long wait of one year and eight months, pre-orders for Magic Power's fourth original self-composed album《Fighting For Love》will start on 7/23 and will officially be released on 8/19, as they continue to electrify listeners with their reinforced electronic sound.『This new album is an album that we hope will convey the struggles that the six of us had, working together for our lives, dreams and love.』And to further enhance the EDM style of 《Fighting For Love》, the new album was specially sent to England to be mixed, having invited Pete Martin, the mixing engineer for the Black Eyed Peas & Sean Combs (P.Diddy), for 『everyone to feel that listening to the new album is as fun as playing video games or multi-player online games! 』So what exactly will the album sound like? As we eagerly await this new album,let's take a look at the equally exciting topic of the little objects that the six MP members like to use, first.


text_Victoria, photo_Orange

MP Vocalist Ting ting


#01. Super Strong Styling Gel
If you want a hairstyle that's 「full of swag」like Ting Ting's, a super strong holding styling gel is a must, but Ting Ting could probably use up this 100ml bottle of hair gel in one sitting.



#02. Antiperspirant
In this scorching weather, you'll be sweating all over even if you don't move, especially so for MP, who shook up the whole of Asia with their「Marksman Dance」and will be dancing to the new「Battle Dance」,『This is my secret weapon to stay clean and dry while I'm performing on stage.』



#03. JH AUDIO Earphones
It's very important for musicians to have an earpiece set that's specially suited for them, and almost everybody has a specially customised earpiece,『Usually, other than performing on stage, even when I'm just resting in the car, I'll still use this to listen to music.』




MP Bassist x Leader Kai kai


#01. Customised Phone Cover
The mobile phone is an important partner that never leaves the side of the modern man, so a phone cover should also reflect each person's lifestyle.『This is the studio's customised 3D printed phone cover, combining the latest technology with a collector's value.』The reason why Kai specially chose the round bear design, is because it's as…… cute as Kai kai^^.



#02. Gold Ion Beauty Bar
In order to present his best condition, Kai kai, who is often called fat,『will always use this pure gold ion beauty bar before going onstage to perform or to take pictures. Just by rolling it on my face twice, the effect is pretty good! 』To reiterate once again, Kai kai isn't fat, he just retains water easily! ಠ౪ಠ



#03. INDEPENDENT Watch
Even though this is a brand that MP endorses, this square shaped watch design was chosen by Kai kai himself. 『I especially like the huge surface area of the watch as well as the sense of weight that the stainless steel material gives me - wearing this watch gives me a sense of security.』




MP Vocalist Ga ga


#01. Gloves + Hand Moisturiser
Who's the weak one with icy cold limbs, wearing gloves in this hot weather?『It's 'cause my hands get really dry easily, that's why I have to apply moisturiser and wear gloves!』




#02. Masks
Being the vocalist in the band, you definitely have to specially protect your voice.『I have a lot of allergies, like when I enter & exit an air-conditioned room in summer, the drastic temperature change between outdoors and indoors will cause itchiness in my nose. Furthermore, we travel a lot to perform, and the air in the plane is drier, so I can't live without a mask』



#03. Earrings
Changing his earrings to suit his mood, or as the day goes by, is a kind of pleasure in life for Ga ga『I can wear different earrings in the morning, afternoon and at night.』In the midst of this tightly packed schedule of "Fighting For Love" autograph sessions, everyone should pay some attention to the tiny changes on Ga ga's ears.




MP Guitarist Leibao


#01. Polaroid (Camera)
『The greatest advantage of having a Polaroid camera is that when I meet friendly fans or friends and family who request for an autographed photo, I'll be able to give them one immediately with a press of the shutter button.』Wow, (you're) so sweet!(๑ • ‿ • ๑ )



#02. PS VITA
Leibao revealed that he really enjoys playing video games, and  will play video games in any free moment that he has.『But I don't really like using my phone to play games cause it'll be troublesome when the battery is flat, so I got a device that's specially for playing games (the PS VITA), to play to my heart's content.』



#03. UE Earphones
Told you that every musician has their own ear piece, right?『This is the most expensive earpiece I've ever had in my life. It has accompanied me through my performances on stage, and when I feel like listening to music, it allows me to hear good, crystal clear music.』




MP DJ Goo goo


#01. POLAROID & FUJIFILM Cameras
Goo goo mentioned that his photography skills are not exceptionally amazing, but『I just particularly like things that have a vintage feel to them.』For speed and convenience though, he still generally uses his phone to take pictures,『But if I'm going out, I'll definitely bring these two old friends along.』




#02. INSTANT LAB
Develop polaroid photographs from the pictures in your iPhone, and relive the glorious days of using film. 



#03. Mask
『This mask is really cool』When do you wear this?『During performances! (Laughs) Or when I'm afraid of being recognized on the mass rapid transit (MRT), I should be able to wear this too.』Eh? Are you sure?『No one will know who I am, they'll just think that I'm weird!』




MP Drummer Ah Xiang


#01. BVLGARI Perfume
Perfume is an item that people like to carry along with them, and is also able to reflect an aspect of their personality. This bottle of Eau de Toilette features the unique flavour of the Darjeeling Tea as it's "protagonist", and『is a flavour that I like, as it gives me a sense of calmness.』



#02. BEATS Headphones
『To listen to music!!!』XD… Simple and succinct.



#03. 2015 Future (Edition) Bottle
Whilst travelling around the world, the taste of Coca Cola will always be one that's safe and familiar.『We're very excited that because the single 〈Hou/Roar〉 from our album《Fighting For Love》was chosen as the main song for the Coca Cola 《2015 Future Edition Bottle》event, we were able to share about Coke and the "Share Happiness" Song with everyone to our heart's content.』






▲Composed by DJ Goo goo, Lyrics written by Vocalist Ting ting, 〈Hou/Roar〉 tells the story of a weak person, who has kept silent in his oppressive environment, but, after realising that he's had enough, decides to stand up to defend himself.

t/n: The translated lyrics to "Hou/Roar" can be found HERE. :)
