Lian He Bao 6/8/00

Leehom maybe the dream lover of many girls but eversince his last breakup, Leehom has yet to find anyone special. This year, Leehom will be spending Valentine's Day in the studios, shooting his new movie. His 2 beautiful co-stars, Gigi Leung and Norika Fujiwara, however, are both attached. Leehom can only spend this special day with his other lover, "Music".

Recently Leehom flew to Japan to be a guest singer in Taro Hakase's concert. Though he was only a guest, Leehom could see many Japanese fans supporting from below. What really made the first-time singer in Japan, Leehom moved was when the fans shouted, "Leehom, we love you" in their heavily accented Madarin. Also, the flowers specially sent by Kimuro Tetsuya and Norika Fujiwara made him very happy.

In this trip to Japan, Leehom secretly met up with Japan music genius, 平井堅. 平井堅's new album is not only selling like hotcakes in Japan but also generating very good sales in Taiwan. Though Leehom cannot understand japanese and 平井堅 cannot understand mandarin, they both managed to have a conversation in english, thanks to 平井堅 who has learnt english before. The two geniuses will have a cross country collaboration in Leehom's next album.

SonyMusic Japan sees a great potential in Leehom and has express that Leehom expands his music boundary to Japan and that his next album could be released in Japan. Next year, SonyMusic Japan would complete the construction works of the new recording studio. It comprises of the latest audio recording systems and 15 recording rooms. Japan has decided to let Leehom be the first to use the studios. Leehom brightened up immediately at the sound of the news. Currently "homeless" in recording, Leehom had to fly to US's Sonymusic and David Tao's home in LA to borrow a studio to record his new "Forever's First Day" album. Now with the new studio, Leehom does not need to fly so far, all he has to do is to fly to Japan and then he can have access to the newest recording equiptments.

Of course he is happy now.
