Why should I engage in "Say goodbye to my pony for fifteen years"?

In fact, this has always been my wish. Since he left, his legacy has been in my hands. I really want to publish his songs all day. However, beyond worked hard together in those years, because beyond at that time ... After he left, many people felt that Beyond could not continue without Ka Kui Wong. We hope to make music well with our own efforts. If we were going to publish Ka Ju's works, people might think that we haven't worked hard yet, so his works have been … looking for a good time. Beyond's 20th anniversary, in fact, I have made a song ... using one of his songs, it is called "Twenty Years of Anti-Japanese War". I've been ... calling it a little wish. By the 0/5th anniversary of/kloc-this year, beyond was dissolved in 2005, so I can think quietly ... This wish can come true this year. First of all, I really want to publish his works first, and I also want to publish some works that have never been published before. So I started this activity.

In the process of doing this activity, there are actually many ... encountered many difficulties. I want to thank a very good friend-Zhizong Huang, because ... Actually, I ... First of all, I just ... I just want to make music and make this record for him, but I don't think just making a record is enough. I want to do some commemorative activities. Then, I will find my good friend Zhizong Huang. Because I think he can help me a lot in culture and music. I called Zhicong and told Zhicong that I wanted to do some activities.

In the process, Zhicong put forward many ideas ... and gave me many ideas, such as seminars and exhibition halls. That's it … I never thought about what I could do in the activity. When I want to do this, I am very excited. I am very excited. Ji Hao gave me so many good ideas. However, the exhibition hall is a very ... which makes me feel very ... very ... difficult. It's been fifteen years. You've been showing his stuff for fifteen years. I need great help from my family to find them. Fortunately, my mother kept many relics there. Look, more, look, more. There are fragments, fragments of our lives! I cut the film at home and cut it all night. These are some ... harder. But sometimes, when I watch those movies alone, I will … laugh … very happy. The feeling of living with him in those days was ... unforgettable.

These demo, in fact, have always been in my hand We wrote many songs when we were developing in Japan, and so did my brother. All demo are in the hands of our former Japanese manager company and will be returned to me after the contract ends. I am his relative, and the so-called legacy that should belong to him is his property, which belongs to our family. It has been preserved until now, so it has always been there. I kept it tightly and well. Because those are recordings, not CDs, not MD, not some very advanced technologies. Audio tapes are prone to mildew and breakage. I keep it well by myself. In fact, for a while, I just recorded these tapes on my computer and made them digital, so I didn't have to worry about being damaged. I've kept it this way for so many years.

In the process of choosing songs, there are actually about eleven or two demo, but some of them are incomplete. Some styles are very different, so choosing songs becomes ... I will choose ... Why did I choose these five songs? These five songs are relatively unified in style. Or that ... style, emotion ... I will choose fast songs and slow songs, but they are both close. I won't suddenly listen to a very special song ... I won't choose those, just choose something more unified.

As far as lyrics are concerned, my first choice is, of course, Liu Zhuohui, who is most in tune with him. I think the two of them are in tune, and Liu Zhuohui knows him very well. I think from the theme, those demo had no lyrics and no theme. Then I'll ... use his spirit ... the concept he left me, his knowledge of music and society ... I'll think about it from this general direction first. I talked with Liu Zhuohui, and I said ... I want to write a song for more people ... more common, so he wrote "We are the people" ... that is, "We are all human beings". It means that the world is fair, or that some people contribute to society for their own rights or obligations. We are all human beings. I think Liu Zhuohui's works are very close to some themes of Ka Kui.

Other encouraging songs, such as this year is the Olympic year, are also the organizers of our country. I think Ka Kui's national concept is actually very heavy, so I propose to write the Olympic Games ... and there is a song called "Olympics".

I wrote a song called "His Guitar" myself, just because he left ... there are so many guitars around me. At least a dozen. If you go to the exhibition hall, you will see them. I often record with his guitar. In addition, his guitar gives me a lot of feelings. When I see his guitar, I will think of the scene when he used it. These guitars have inspired me a lot and helped my music development greatly. It can also be said that these guitars are the brotherly feelings he left me. I project all this on this song.

The first guitar sold to me. I asked him to give it to me, but he wouldn't. He sold me this. It's just ... at that time, he bought this acoustic guitar first, and then ... he bought a new acoustic guitar, and I asked him to give it to me. ..... "Give it, don't give it! It's almost the same to sell it to you! " Okay ... and sold it to me at half price. I didn't have these stickers before, but I put them on myself later. Then I ... I cherish this guitar myself. Although it was sold to me at half price, it was always ... he left it to me ... a ... it was really given to me through his hand, not a relic, but a guitar he gave me personally.

There is a song called Nobody Plays, which was written by Liu Zhuohui. It's a prodigal son, and it's the feeling of an iron prodigal son. It's tender and very Ka Kui Wong. I think it is also very appropriate.

The other one, which I wrote myself, is called "The Ending". It tells something ... that is ... sometimes we are human beings ... living in an environment, even if we want to escape ... sometimes we can't escape ... This is the theme. These are my own songs and the contents of these songs, which I inherited from Ka Kui and I imagined his spirit.

As for the producer and arranger, I just want to keep his original flavor and not deviate too far. I think Ka Kui must like guitar best, because he is a guitar fan. So I must have a lot of guitars in my arrangement, mainly guitars, and most of the songs are mainly guitars. Of course, there are some songs I can use … occasionally there will be piano sound and some new elements will be added. But ... because his songs were written in the early 1990 s, I will add some modern new sounds (that is, new sounds) to meet his tastes in the early 1990 s and mid-1990 s. If you suddenly modernize it ... because it was 92 when he wrote (these songs), if you suddenly modernize it, you will feel ... a little out of place. I will mix these two things together, and you can hear the new feeling of mixing the sounds of the early 1990 s and the present.

Many people involved in making this record are his good friends. For example, Arong plays drums, Paul helps play the guitar, and Yuanzi also comes back to help play the guitar. These are all old beyond members. In addition, Dan Liwen in blue jeans is also a good friend of Ka Kui. Gary Tang and Deng Jianming of Tai Chi. Some of them grew up in our band room. I don't know if you know them: one is Wei, who plays bass; One is a guitar player. They are all friends he knows. I hope all these people can appear on this record and participate in this activity. In fact, I always thought that this record was made in Ka Kui Wong, so it should be made by a friend in Ka Kui Wong.

The second part is the footprint of Japan

Why did you go to Japan to develop? Actually ... I think the music circle in Hong Kong is too narrow to some extent. Because we are musicians, creators and band players, in fact, the living space in Hong Kong is very narrow ... it is difficult to survive. And sometimes listening to foreign music or japanese pop, I feel that the Hong Kong music scene seems to remain unchanged. When Japanese companies appreciate our music, we have a feeling ... Japan is actually a big market, and Japan can accommodate many different kinds of music. Because we have heard many Japanese bands ourselves, there are many types of music that can survive there. We think this is a new way out or a new direction, so we will try it and see if Japan can realize our ideal music, so we will go to Japan together.

Life in Japan is actually quite hard for the four of us. Ok, first of all, let's talk about language … because Japanese … we don't know Japanese, and most Japanese's English is not so good. I tried to get lost in the street, but no one paid attention to me when I asked for directions. What bus is it? Where are you going? ..... all of them ... run as soon as you speak English. Of course, that was more than ten years ago. I think it should be better now. When we lived there, it was really boring. First of all, everyone should learn Japanese. A teacher teaches us Japanese. The usual life is that the four of us go to eat and play together, but … we are all very happy. I'm glad to visit Stone, because it didn't exist in Hong Kong at that time. It was a little difficult for a while, because during the recording, we didn't record in the city. We went to Shanhu, a recording studio near Mount Fuji. That studio is far away. It's a long drive for you to go to …. It was still winter, and there were no guests in our hotel. Because it is a resort hotel, resort hotels are generally occupied in summer and nobody in winter, just the four of us plus an assistant. There is only one manager in the whole hotel. We can only have fun in suffering. We have to hold a big food party by ourselves, which is commonly called "boring big food party", just a few of us. ...

Do you hear these ticks? It is snow that melts into water, so it drips. Suddenly I heard a bang, that is, the heavy snow that the tree could not bear fell down. This should be the last snow this year!

Actually ... life is recording, going back to sleep, writing songs, writing lyrics ... and then going back to recording.

However, in the recording studio, I think it is a very enjoyable process. Why? Because the equipment in the recording studio over there is really good. The recording studio is like an auditorium that can accommodate two or three hundred people, but it is only for you to record guitars and even orchestras ... string orchestras can be there. His room can be big enough for you to put thirty or forty people in. Besides, we have learned a lot from these facilities or technologies. For example: What is the project like? We learned a lot about how engineers tune, producers, music directors and their opinions, and music. Because Japan is actually a country with advanced music or other aspects. We benefited a lot, except that we were a little bored. Sometimes the greatest pleasure is to go to the convenience store to buy things. Because they are all special ... you know, their things are different from ours ... because they always sell Japanese food, which is quite interesting.

When making music with their producers and producers there, the difficulty lies in the language. Fortunately, our producer can speak English, and English is excellent, and our communication is better, but some people, such as engineers, can't, so they have to use translators. When most people don't understand English, they have to rely on translation. If translation is not good, there will be mistakes. So sometimes the process of work will slow down ... but ... we are happy because it is always novel. For example, they have a clear distinction between many things. For example, the record you made this time is to make some nice sounds, very hi-fi, and they will find an engineer who specializes in making nice sounds; If you want to make a rock record, he will find a rock engineer; If you want to funk, he will find another funk engineer. Each one is clearly divided. Even recorded the drums ... when we recorded in Hong Kong, the drummer tuned the drums himself. They are different, and there are special people who are responsible for doing such things. There is one person in charge of tuning the whole set of drums. When the drum is tuned, the drummer will go up and play. To some extent, it saves the drummer's strength, because it is actually very tiring to adjust the drum. Programmers are also very clear. In this respect ... this is actually very professional.

Translation: This is called Ka Kui.

Ka-kui: (pointing to the makeup artist) Can you tell? This man is thirty years old!

Makeup artist: thirty years old!

Ka kui: Kawaii! Kawaii!

Makeup artist: handsome!

She said you were handsome!

Ka kui: Hehe! Handsome guy!

She wants to marry you!

Ka-kui: Maybe … I feel very lucky! Do you need to zoom in so close? How to shoot?

Take a picture of what you drew. Take a picture of her painting your eyebrows. ...

Except for the language barrier, most people are happy to cooperate with them there. But the only thing I can't stand is the breakfast we want. We live far away. Our studio packs breakfast, so we can't get used to his breakfast. Eat in the morning and eat natto. I couldn't accept it then. Now, of course, I can. Breakfast is just a dried fish, some natto and a bowl of rice, that's all. We have no appetite at all. I have been asking my friends and family to send us some lunch meat, that is, those cans. I really don't like it. Always have bad eating habits.

When we worked in Japan, it was actually quite fun. Of course, you can't play the recording. For example, he is recording drums ... playing drums, so he can't play. The three people next to them were shocked. For example, when Ka Kui sings, the three of us are making a shock.

In fact, we never stopped ... basically, the four of us ... like to be funny and have fun. But the studio can't be noisy all day. Maybe you will see that some movies are silent and shocking ... This kind of thing actually ... doesn't sigh when you leave, and it's depressing to start work when you leave. When we have the chance, we can play tricks on others. Rong Shi is easy to be teased, and we like to tease him best. He doesn't care, so he plays tricks on him all day.

Photography: Just press it? Ah Rong? Do you still need a flash?

Rong Shi L: No need!

Photography: ok, look here ... one, two ... huh?

Paul: Why is this action so old-fashioned?

Jia Qiang: Be fashionable, ok?

Photography: one, two, three ... huh?

Rong Shi: Alas! The battery is dead! Use mine. ...

Jia Qiang: Take another picture. no danger of anything going wrong

Photography: Hey! Paul. ......

It's hard to tease ka kui. Of course, everyone made fun of him in his sleep. You know, in the studio, it's not your turn, and when you have nothing to do, you will fall asleep glumly ... So seize the opportunity to play tricks on him ... In short, you should be very careful. If you are not careful, you will be teased by three other people.

Ka-kui: It's still a rainy night, staring out the window and thinking of you silently. This is a warm laugh, and the wind blows gently. ...

Jia Qiang: Hey! The lyrics don't rhyme, it's messy. What Cleisthenes? This word doesn't rhyme!

Ka kui: the wind ... the upper and lower parts are not melodies. ......

It's still a rainy night, staring out of the window, thinking of you silently, it's a warm smile and the wind blowing gently. ...

Looking forward to hope, like a breeze, floats away with her and lets lonely arms hold you tight again and again. ......

In terms of creation, in fact, we spent more time together in the early days. I mean very early, when we were just founded. Especially the lyrics, everyone often participates together. Most songs are written by Ka Kui. In the future, everyone will write their own songs and co-write songs. What you see is the unfinished "Looking into the Distance" written by Ka Kui. I'm listening. He sings to me, just the two of us. I think Paul and Rong Shi are recording something else, so I listened to his lyrics with him here. He sang it to me, and he said, hey, I filled it out. How about you listen to it for me? We often discuss. Many times, people will give advice to each other ... Hey, what do you think? I'll listen. If you feel bad, you will tell him and ask him to change.

Ka-kui: Let the raindrops overflow gently, forcing the melancholy to be covered up again, shining like a broken star, calling you in the sky.

How much do I need every day? I will always hold you and forget everything in the world. I feel very painful ... huh? I don't know. Is it gone?

Forget everything in the world, pain and sadness ... huh? The melody is gone?

Jia Qiang: These words are not good enough! A little casual. Think again.

Ka-kui: Forget everything in the world and feel sad. Even in and heaven remains our neighbourhood, I hope I will love you all my life in this starry night.

Modify it again. Write these out first and make good use of them.

We often see this kind of cooperation. My brother and I often have this. Not in the studio, but at home. For example, in the early days, when he was a child, he wrote some songs at home ... Hey, come here, jam jam, come here, jam some bass ... or ... Hey, I filled these in, what do you think ... He likes to let people listen to his works and give him advice. He is a very open person. In fact, he is not afraid of me scolding him. I don't know if I'm right. I'll talk first, then I'll calculate. People just regard it as a joke. The most important thing is ... we work happily together and do things comfortably. Everyone is in that state of mind, not nervous ... not everyone is nervous ... no, everyone is relaxed.

Why do you want to do the song "Half a catty"?

Actually, it's a tribute to Samuel Hui. That is, all the new generations, that is, our generation, have to sing a song by Brother Sam, so we chose Half a catty. However, we are in Japan, not Hong Kong. We arrange and record music in Japan. The whole process was fun. Because this song is very ... very ... this song is chosen by ourselves and has a lot to do with our beyond. Because this is a very grassroots song, and we are also grassroots people, so we are particularly excited to sing. In the process of editing, we feel that there are many new ideas ... very different from the original ones.

Part III Footprints of Africa

08.JPG(86.67 KB)

2008-6-29 14:28

Why are we going to Africa? Because Ka Kui has been to Papua New Guinea before. After his visit, he felt a lot and came back and said to us, "All three of you come with me for a visit. Because there are many places in this world, we should go and see them. But also know what is happening in other worlds now. " So, we went to Kenya and Nairobi in Africa. What did we see ... what he saw and heard really ... opened our eyes and had many feelings ... In fact ... what Ka Kui said at the beginning ... was actually endless. When you go to see it in person, the feeling is very strong, that is to say, children, places to live, water problems and living environment will all make us feel the need to cherish resources, which is very important for future construction or environmental protection.

In fact, the main purpose of our trip to Africa is to visit schools, AIDS hospitals and villagers. Some ... villagers refer to backward nomads, and our aim is ... first, tell those nomads to stop cutting down trees. If too many trees are cut down, water will become increasingly scarce, because Africa itself is very dry. Secondly, it is to teach them how to grow things, how to settle down, and stop nomadic and wandering around. There is also a visit to the AIDS hospital ... Africa is quite serious ... which is actually a comfort. And then visit the children ... the school. Let's go and see their facilities first. What do they need? We appealed and then donated money to build their school better. When we go there, we see those children are naive ... then, of course, we should have candy ... give them some cookies, play with them and sing to them. At that time, Kaju wrote a song called Amani, which was written at that time. I just want to sing to those children. If we sing Cantonese, they won't understand. That ..... Ka Kui soon thought of a way, that is, to learn some African vocabulary first. What are some African words? Is to learn "peace AMAMI", "love, peace and love, Nakupanda", "We need to love NAKUPENDA WE WE Jiaju wrote several attached songs with these words and sang them to the children at that time. Actually, it's about sending the message we care about … coming here … we preach love. This is the way to communicate with those children.

What I admire my brother more is that he only uses a few simple words, African words, to promote peace and love.

During that time, besides visiting, we also had some fun, that is, we saw many lions and many animals … it was almost like watching some wildlife documentaries. That trip was a ... great experience in our lives.

When we chase those birds, we are actually photographers. They asked us … they wanted to take some broader … macro photos or some clips.

Photographer: Hey, let's go, let's go! Don't stop, keep chasing! Let's go Keep walking!

Everyone: Hahaha ...

Ka kui: almost. Just a little, it doesn't matter!

Because there are a lot of birds there, that position ... that ... we are going to jump over a river, that is, a small river ... that is to say, jump over it ... Everyone saw Ka Kui ... stepped on something ... He was too bold ... Everyone jumped over it. The last one was him. He just stepped on it ... stepped on the mud pit.

Staff A: Do you have any paper towels?

Staff B: Yes ... Yes ... Where is Tom?

Staff A: What about feathers? Where did you get it?

Staff b: pants.

Staff A: Ka-kui, Ka-kui, Tom has passed, and he is going to jump!

Ka kui: Look out! Don't mess around!

Staff A: Not the long jump. Let him go!

Paul: Wow! You did a good job.

Photographer: This is a dead body ... a dry bird. What's your name?

Then I ran to the birds, thinking that they would not leave, but they just ran away and had to keep running. Actually, I want that feeling of nature.

A lot of interesting things actually happened to camels, but they were not photographed, because the aborigines … the aborigines there … were almost scared to death by them … because we saw camels, photographer Shui Hetian said, "Hey! There are camels there, you shoot them! " The four of us ran to the camel and stood next to the camel to take pictures. Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. A circle, the four of us ... five people are surrounded inside ... all five of us are surrounded inside. I can't leave ... I can't leave at all. Always spinning ... why is it so strange? Wondering how to get there? Then two locals ... aborigines came out. One with a hair, the other with a knife, desperately stuck to the ground ... desperately cut the ground ... very fierce ... I don't know what they said ... so I was scared. What should I do? ..... Finally, they let us go out alone and let an interpreter come back and say ... It turns out that they said "you can't shoot our camels at will" ... To some extent, they all have tourism ... If you want to shoot, you have to pay. After negotiating the price ... I think ... it seems that after giving the money, they simply took the camel and photographed it for you ... In short, they have to collect the money ... In short, they feel at ease after giving the money. ..... You don't have to scare them half to death ... How worried I was that they would cut us with knives ... When I was editing the movie, I watched a lot of African clips ... In fact, the feeling of Ka Kui has never changed. It gives me the feeling that I have a good sense of humor. Many things say that I have ... excellent leadership skills. He will ... Oh, that's it! ..... Hey, this is delicious! ..... a lot of such impressions ... suddenly everything appeared again. And he is also very irregular, that is to say, he can play again ... that is to say, I have many memories. Seeing those movies again, I miss him more.

The fourth part of today's footprint

In the past fifteen years, in fact, the feeling my brother gave me has not changed, and I have always missed him. I have always hoped that I can do a lot for him and hope to continue his spirit. In my music, if you pay attention, I have been continuing his spirit. In this activity, I actually want to tell others about his spirit, and his faith will never disappear. Although he has been away from us for fifteen years, his spirit can … everyone can continue except me. For example, I have done so many symposiums. After listening to their words, many students may not be musicians, but they stick to an ideal, while Jia Jujian holds an ideal, but he sticks to his ideal with music. As long as there is a dream, people will be full of vitality. I think this is the faith he left us.

Now, I think many people play bands or like to play music. They all say, "I have to know the song of the player Pony" or "I have to edit his song" ... For me, I don't know if he can hear them, because no one may have said this to him at that time, but now ... sometimes when I go back to the mainland, many people say so, and I feel very happy.

Actually, Ka Kui has a great influence on me. Because he and I are always at home ... we are the youngest and closest. Everything is played together. I followed him everywhere all day, and I went wherever he went. He just started playing in a band, and I followed him around before I knew how to play music. It's just a lot of things ... he knows me well and I know him well. From my willfulness ... as far as I know ... by the time he left me, at every stage ... I remembered a lot of what he said, which will stay in my heart and affect my life. This kind of influence ... is very helpful to my growth ... and it can also be said to be a kind of help. I think he is very mature. As a 21-year-old young man, he can do many things, and he is very ambitious and has made many excellent works in music. Up to now, I have learned a lot by looking back on his past.

As for the music scene in Hong Kong, I think Ka Kui has influenced many people who play music to some extent. But what do you say about the changes in Hong Kong's music scene? I can only say one thing ... Hong Kong ... Music ... In fact, Ka Kui has said that Hong Kong has only entertainment circles, but no music circles. In fact, it is still like this until now. He made great efforts, but the result was not satisfactory. On the contrary, it is more ideal in the mainland. More people play music, and you will hear more bands. In fact, Ka Kui has also made a lot of efforts to change, but … I hope we can stick to our faith, continue the spirit of Ka Kui and change the music scene in Hong Kong. This is what we have to do.
