MP’s Final Public Activity For The Year! “Would Like To Say Thank You” By Appearing At Ximen On The 27th

Reporter Wu Rui Ci / Reporting from Taipei

After spending a year collecting their thoughts, Magic Power will be holding an autograph session on the 27th at the Ximen Red House. It has already been a year since the previous autograph session, and in order to personally say 「Thank You」 to their fans, they will be returning to Ximen Red House’s NET Square to hold an event. They’ll be bringing with them their 《Magic Power Our Home Ground Concert LIVE》 USB/DVD, which has been in the making for a while, and hope to bring their fans back to 「Our Home Ground」.

Thank You

Dear i-MPF readers,

It's been quite the journey, hasn't it? I sincerely thank every single one of you who has stopped by our site since it opened on 24 June 2014. ♥ At the same time, I'm sorry that i-MPF hasn't been as good a fan site as it should be, with constant pauses and sudden hiatuses and delayed postings. :(

As the chief editor of the site, I bow my head humbly in apology. It's my fault because I'm very slow with editing the posts. I have had 4 friends who have helped me tremendously with this site for different amounts of time, doing different tasks and I wouldn't have had the courage to pull off this crazy idea if it weren't for them and their help - to which, I'm extremely thankful to them for. ♥

However, all of us are getting busier with our various tasks (at work/school) and it's hard to juggle our real-world responsibilities with updating this blog. :( As such, even though I don't really want to say this, I have no choice but to announce that i-MPF will basically be shutting down after I have completed the posts for February.

It's not that we'll disappear completely, but we won't be continuing with all the daily posts after 29 Feb, because doing so takes up a lot of time, unfortunately. We will however, post updates when there's important information, such as an album or DVD release, and we'll also still translate the lyrics of any new MP songs, because we still want international MPFs to be able to know what MP's singing about~ :)

Once again, I thank you all for your support. ♥ This blog has blessed me in many ways, and I'm sad to have to sort-of say goodbye to it.

Do keep checking back for updates in future though! There's still the posts from February to look out for and who knows when MP will be releasing new stuff!! :) You can follow us on Twitter or Facebook to receive notifications when we post updates! :)

Before I sign off, here's a picture of the postcard MP gave out during their 2015 Christmas Shanghai "Our Home Ground" concert as well as the translations for the messages~ (Click to enlarge)



Sincerely,
♥ A.

PS: If you guys have any specific translation requests, you can drop us an email at intlmpf@gmail.com :) We'll be happy to help! :)

我的計畫是明早起床寫-哥。

晚安。

My plan is to be a wake-up-tomorrow-morning-and-write ge*.

Goodnight.

t/n: *Goo's doing a wordplay on the word "哥 (gē, older brother)", which sounds like "歌 (gē, song)". So the caption could also be translated as "My plan is to wake up tomorrow morning to write songs".

這個地方陪伴我度過8年，從還沒成立MP以前時在這教吉他，在這幫別人製作錄音，到組成MP還有錄製了MP的四張專輯都是在這裡，真的有太多回憶在這了！！接下來還是要繼續幫助熱愛音樂的人喔～ #硬搞搬家

This place has accompanied me for 8 years. From when MP had not been formed yet & I was giving guitar lessons here, I helped others to produce and record music here, to the formation of MP, where we produced all four of MP’s albums here as well. This place really holds too many memories!! In future, we'll still continue to help those who have a passion for music~ #INGOmovinghouse

t/n: On Facebook, Leibao commented, "Not gonna tell you guys" probably in response to fans asking where INGO would be moving to.

怎麼有種門戶大開的感覺...嘖~

‪#‎如果我是女的應該就是美腿女神吧前提是腳毛先刮乾淨‬
‪#‎在忙什麼我自己也很期待‬
‪#‎我果然菱石角‬（不好笑）
‪#‎Converse很帥但好像有點髒該洗了誰可以幫忙‬

Why does this have a "doors wide open" sort of feeling... Tsk~

t/n: The original caption of post shared from Hao Xiao Zong said:
Our dear leader has been very busy lately, so busy that he's got no time to eat
But I won't let you become any skinnier - you're cuter when you've got some fat
Eating, what, lettuce salads and all?! Such a silly head [dialect]

‪#fortunately-you're-busy-with-Googoo-who'll-encourage-you-to-have-supper

Some of the comments Kai left on the post include:
1: The most relevant [comment] of the day~ [in response to a comment on him looking very skinny]

2: I've got everything except money~ (just kidding) [in response to a comment saying he needs to pay up if he wants someone to wash his shoe]

3: I'll take your word for it, you've gotta follow through! (just kidding) [in response to a comment saying "I'm willing to go to your house to wash your clothes & shoes"]

4: It's cause I'm good-looking~ Keke [in response to a comment saying the angle of the shot was good]

5: You're not number one, someone else has just made an appointment. But it's okay, I have other pairs of shoes, or instead, Magic Power Googoo has even more pairs, so you can look for him to report for work~ [in response to a comment saying "Shoe washer #1 has come to report for work"]

運動一下是好事，晚上睡覺更舒適。
‪#‎覺得壓韻很帥氣‬
‪#‎今晚要刮鬍子嗎‬

Some exercise is good, [it'll help you] sleep more comfortably at night.

在我認知裡我是ㄧ個普通人

所以當別人花ㄧ倍力氣時我就得用10倍或100倍的力氣去完成任務。

我不抱怨相反的很開心。

因為我不用花時間去思考雞蛋到底該放在那些籃子裡

我，只有ㄧ個籃子。

你看到的15秒是我的15小時。

謝謝喜歡。

晚安。

I perceive myself to be an ordinary person

So when others spend one portion of effort, I have to use 10 times or 100 times the effort to complete the task.

I'm not complaining, contrary to that, I'm very happy.

Because I don't have to spend time thinking about which baskets I have to put my eggs into

For I, only have one basket.

The 15 seconds you see is the 15 hours [I put in].

Thank you for liking it.

Goodnight.

就算世界停止轉動，我仍為你而轉。

繼續，繼續。

專注，專注。

Even if the world were to stop turning, I'd still turn for you.

Continue, continue.

Focus, focus.

Goodnight.

t/n: Kai left several comments on the profile picture post:
1: Because it was just too difficult to choose a picture [of me] from the front, so I had no choice but to put a picture [of me] from the back.
2: Actually, another [reason] was that I wanted to show off the strength and beauty of my muscular line (self-proclaimed)
3: I'm certain that you guys truly love me! Saying that I'm good-looking [when all you can] see is hair

MP魔幻力量凱開：今天的衣服穿著是不是很有默契？不約而同的很搭！
Magic Power Kaikai: Don't we have a lot of chemistry with the clothes we wore today? A coincidental match!
