2000年3月31日 日本「玻璃之城」Talk Show及首映
- 日本歌迷萬眾期待可以親身看見Leon的日子終於來臨,所以大家都非常緊張,加上手上拿的只是換票券,並未劃設座位,因此今天可以參加Talk Show的歌迷都早於3pm就抵達大會場地 ~~ 東京銀座的一家劇場,戰戰兢兢地進行抽櫼,用自己雙手去決定跟Leon接觸的距離!接近二百名觀眾在會場問口有秩序地排隊,逐一抽出已劃位的門券,抽到較前位置的無不發出尖叫!
- 晚上6pm觀眾才可以正式入場,會場嚴禁觀眾錄影錄音,所以進場前要被工作人員檢查及取出所有影音錄製器材寄存,方可進場。不受此限的記者則早已準備相機、紙筆,人數有七、八十之多呢!.....(Leon的確受日本傳媒歡迎啊!)
- 到了6:20pm,主持人終於出場,隨即介紹Leon走出台前和觀眾見面,立時滿場尖叫、掌聲雷動!Leon由台側步出,先跟觀眾揮手打招呼,然後由主持人引領到台上預備好的椅子上座,而兩位主持分坐他兩側,當然由Leon亮相的一刻鎂光燈就閃過不停啦!
- Talk show中主持人關谷元子(Asia Pops Wind的DJ〕問Leon的問題都是環繞著電影的情節、拍攝情況、Leon對感情的看法、在日本推出的新專輯及不領獎宣言等等, Leon說話時很輕鬆,但是態度認真,雖然看來有點累卻仍面帶笑容,仍可說是神采飛揚,中途Leon有向前排觀眾揮手,而Talk show只短短進行了約二十分鐘就完結!訪問內容大致如下 :
- 首先談到日本版Best Album”Hot and Cool“。Leon說明快歌=Hot,慢歌=Cool,日本新力的人從去年推出四張唱片中選歌曲。最好笑是Leon說封面的照片奇怪,因為他不太明白那張照片的背面的pose在幹什麼!
- 關谷問Leon今后在日本有沒有發展的計劃?Leon的回答似乎不算太積極。她也問到“不領獎宣言”,Leon回答的想法是一貫的積極。
- 關於電影 ~~ Leon這次從San fransico直接飛到日本,在美國跟張曼玉拍了“一見鐘情”。Leon說︰「那部電影雖然跟maggie合作,但是跟“甜蜜蜜”無關。大家會有機會可以看到。」
- 關於「玻璃之城」~~ Leon說他能學到很多關于香港的歷史。以前他了解
中國大陸的歷史比較多,不太了解香港的歷史。電影裡面的事是導
演的朋友們經歷的真正的事,他們還在香港生活而且他們告訴Leon
當時的情況。所以Leon學到很多香港的歷史和背景。通過這部電影
所學到的另外重要的事是對愛情的看法。他明白到愛這個字是從四
種東西來組成的。愛是由受傷傷害、悲嘆、偉大和自私來組成
的。關谷問Leon最印象深的鏡頭是什么?Leon說:「大家看電影以前,我
不應該說關于這點。因為會影響到大家的看法。每個人應該有每個
人的看法。看完之后才能分享。」主持人說”玻璃之城“的主題曲獲得了金雞獎最佳主題曲獎的時候
,Leon竟意外的說︰「是嗎?我忘記了﹗」......(看來Leon真是由衷的不再重視獎項了!) Leon還說這首歌對這部電影很合適,Mark恐怕不能寫這種歌。他很感謝Dick Lee。
- Leon臨走前特別站到台前讓記者拍他的全身照,而在Leon返回後台之前,台下有觀眾大叫 :「Leon!香港見!」Leon停步回頭笑著揮手回應 : 「好呀!Bye-bye!」Leon離開之後,記者群也散去,場內就開始播放「玻璃之城」。

- 31.03.00 "City of Glass" Talk Show
- After a long awaited period, Leon finally arrived to Tokyo to meet the Japanese fans! Everyone was so excited. Fans were very anxious since the tickets they held didn't have any position allocations so those fans who will attend the talk show arrived as early as 3.00pm to get good seats. The seating were picked randomly, thus the fans uses their own hand to decide their closeness to Leon. There were nearly 200 people attended and some fans screamed with joy when they got seats towards the front of the stage.
- At 6.00pm, the audience were officially lead inside the arena; since the ground prohibited any filming or recording, thus there were a search of everyone when entered. The media were exempted and they got their cameras, pens etc. ready, with 80 or so media present.... ( the Japanese media really likes Leon!) At 6.30pm, the commentator appears on stage and introduces Leon onto the stage. The audience screamed and applause non stop. Leon appeared from the side of the stage and he immediately waved and greeted the crowd, and he went to sit in the middle between the two commentators. As soon as Leon appeared, the luminous rods start waving non stop. One of the commentator of the talk show (DJ form Asia Pops Wind) asked questions mainly surrounding the story of the filming, shooting, Leon's view on emotions, his latest CD to be released in Japan, and his not accepting awards issue. Leon was very relaxed but his attitude was very truthful. Although he looked a little tired, he was full of smile. During the show, Leon waved to the crowd in the front; the talk show lasted just 20 minutes, and the content of the interview are as follows:
- When talked about his CD Japanese version, best album "Hot and Cool", Leon said that fast songs= hot, while slow songs= cool. The songs of the album were extracted from his four albums from Sony. the most humorous part must be when Leon said that he thought the CD cover were very strange, as he doesn't too understand the background of the photo! When asked whether Leon will spend time in Japan, Leon's response were very cool. When asked about his reluctance to accept awards, his response were his familiar philosophy.
- New Films: Leon flew straight from SF to Japan, in SF filming "Sausolito" with Maggie Cheung. Leon said that although this film is working with Maggie, it has no direct correspondence with "Comrades, almost a love story".
- City of Glass: Leon said that while filming this film, Leon said that he learned a lot about HK history, while previously he had a better understanding of China history. The storyline is based on the true story of the friend of the director. They were still in HK and told Leon the circumstance then; thus Leon learned history and background of the old HK. Through the film, the also learned a different view of love relationship. He understood that the word "love" consists of four different components. It consists of pain, tragic, self giving and selfishness. When asked what was the most touching part, Leon said " Before you have seen the film, I don't think I should speak of it, since it will influence on your own opinion. Everyone has their own view, thus we can discuss it after we have seen it". The commentator then mentioned the theme song of "City of Glass" won the award as best movie theme song; Leon shockingly answered "Really? I have forgotten about it!"............. ( looks like Leon really don't care about awards anymore) Leon said that the song really suited the mood of the film, Leon said that Mark may not be able to write this kind of songs, he really wants to thank Dick Lee.
- Just before Leon leave, he let the journalists take a photograph of him, and just before he went backstage, some of the fans said "Leon! See you in HK!". Leon stopped and replied " OK, Bye Bye!" When Leon left, the journalists followed suit, and "City of Glass" was then showed.

2000年3月29日 由三藩市飛抵日本
- 經過多日來在美國拍畢「一見鍾情」後,Leon趕緊在28/3由美國飛到日本為宣傳新CD和「玻璃之城」以及其他工作而忙碌。
- Leon今天所乘的JL001是由三藩市直達東京成田機場,預定抵達是日本時間3:45pm,而一群群日本歌迷就早於3pm已經來到機場等候,無奈由於誤點關係,顯示板遲遲仍未能列出Leon的出口是A閘還是B閘,使日本歌迷們都不禁緊張起來!
- 到了接近4pm,顯示板上終於說明了Leon的航班將會靠近A閘停泊,至此日本Leon Family的Committee也就帶領著歌迷們非常有秩序的移向A閘,並且列隊歡迎Leon的到臨。這時在機場等候的歌迷已多達約六十人了!而今天乘坐國泰航班從香港飛往日本會合Leon的髮型師Sev及Sony女工作人員也在此時聯繫了日本當地的工作人員,從機場的Terminal 1 趕到 Terminal 2 等候Leon。
- Leon乘坐的航班終於在4:08pm著陸,所有等候中的歌迷即時進入戒備狀態,眼也不眨的望著閘口!
- 4:40pm,Leon終於現身了!他身穿黑色棉質「穵毛」短Jacket,衫腳卻露出約一吋長的白色Tee,配一條藍色牛仔褲及黑皮鞋,頭戴棗紅色Cap帽、面架淺色太陽鏡,身旁是阿Joe及帶笑推著行李的B仔,Leon就在他們的陪同下,步屐輕盈的走出閘口,同時兩名日本Secure立刻迎上。Leon看到正在等候的歌迷,便露出親切的笑容,並沿著兩旁歌迷為他開出的「通道」步出機場,歌迷群中不少人拉著小Banner,當然也有送上鮮花、信件、禮物等等,Leon都逐一收下並且點頭回應 ~~ 歌迷都很開心啊!
- 有從香港專程趕回東京的日本歌迷,由香港特地帶來了一樽「屈臣氏」蒸溜水來送給Leon,Leon收在手上,特意望一望那個日本歌迷,然後笑著點頭致謝,這時同來的一個歌迷告訴Leon,她們是專程到日本的,Leon就甜絲絲地笑說 :「知道喇!」。
- 大伙兒慢慢的向著機場大樓大門「移動」,走出大門後左轉,再走一小段路才到斑馬線,和Leon一同過了兩條馬路才到達來接載Leon的那輛黑色美國房車所停泊的地點!......(走得很開心哩!)
- Leon在上車前後都面帶笑容不斷向在場各個歌迷揮手說bye-bye,然後房車載著Leon、Sev及當地一名工作人員離開。剩下推著四大箱行李及數件手提行李的B仔、阿Joe、香港女工作人員及日本女聯絡員一起就過馬路乘撘旅遊巴士離開機場。

- 29.03.2000 From SF to Tokyo
After spending many days filming "Sausolito" in SF, Leon rapidly flew from SF to Tokyo to promote his CD and film "City of Glass" and together with other jobs. Leon went on JAL flight JL001 from SF direct to Tokyo, estimated arrival time in Japan 3.45pm. Japanese fans already prepared for his arrival and was at the arrival area at 3.00pm. Because there were some confusion, the arrival board didn't indicated whether Leon would arrive in gate A or B, the fans were a little anxious.
- At around 4.00pm, the board indicated that Leon's flight would arrive at gate A, thus the Leon Family committee lead the team orderly to gate A, arranging the welcome team. There were already around 60 or so fans waiting! Also arriving today from the Cathay flight were Sev (Leon's stylist) and a female Sony official. They met up with staff here in Tokyo and hurried from terminal 2 to terminal 1 to meet up with Leon. Leon's flight arrived into Tokyo at 4.08pm, all the awaiting fans prepared and didn't flash an eyelid in order to lookout for Leon!
- At 4.40pm, Leon finally stepped out. He was wearing a black mohair short jacket, white tee, blue jeans and black shoes. He had a wine colour cap, light shade sunglasses. With him were Joe Chan and the ever smiling Ah Bee! Leon slowly walked out of the arrival and immediately two Japanese security went up to him. Leon smiled to the awaiting fans, also indicated to the fans at the side to give him a passage to walk. Many fans had small banners and of course, flowers, letters, gifts etc. Leon accepted them all and nodded to the fans ~~ so so happy!
- Some Japanese fans especially went back to Tokyo from Hong Kong, while they bought a Watson spring water to Leon, Leon accepted it and looked at the Japanese fan and smiled to thank him. Some fans told Leon they came to Japan especially and Leon smiled sweetly " I know la!"
- The crowd slowly walked out of the airport and constantly waving goodbye to the fans. Soon, a car came to collect Leon, Sev and a local official. What remind behind were four big luggage, Ah Bee, Joe Chan, Hong Kong female Sony staff and the Japanese guide. They crossed the road and ascend on the coach and departed also.
2000年3月11日 飛美國三藩市拍「一見鍾情」
- 一再延期之後,Leon終於落實在今晚乘坐國泰航機直飛美國三藩市,開拍和張曼玉合演的「一見鍾情」。航機預定在10:50pm起飛,由於這次出外很久,(似乎是出個人唱片以來最耐的一次!)因此過百歌迷早已守候機場大樓外。Leon則在9:55pm已乘坐Sony墨綠保母車到達機場,B仔下車拿出兩箱行李,打開車側、尾門時,歌迷分由兩面探頭內望,戴著帽的Leon則默默無語。B仔兩箱行李去辦登機手續時 (Leon的已由Joe代辦),保母車先行駛離。
- Stanley、阿佳、B仔和Secure在10:00pm回到大樓外等候,保母車在10:06pm已經駛回,並且直接停在行人路旁。Leon身穿淺灰色Tee、外套是墨藍色類似PVC質料中褸、灰色闊褲,褲腳外擋兩旁有小拉鍊,配一對黑色弶皮鞋及頭上一頂深藍cap帽,沒有戴墨鏡,變得微紅而狹少的眼睛顯示出Leon經過長時期工作......(可是仍沒有戴上墨鏡,似乎也知歌迷惜別離之心意)。他一下車就由Stanley等人圍護著,歌迷則湧上。Leon神情及步履俱不急,歌迷正是求之不得,所以一大群人行得極緩慢。
- 有歌迷第一時間遞上信件,Leon毫不猶豫地接了,因此歌迷們就陸續遞上預備好的信件....(Leon離開這麼多天,大家都有千言萬語咯!)只不過幾步路間,Leon手上已經拿得滿滿的,在進入大樓玻璃門之前,一個日本歌迷送上心形小盒的糖果,Leon看看美麗的盒子後收下了,另一個歌迷遞上一大盒餅,Leon望著盒子,歌迷就說 : 「Leon,你帶去啦!鍾意食就食,唔鍾意食就擺埋一邊啦!」Leon就拿在手上了,這時另一個歌迷叫: 「Leon!」就遞上一個白色公文袋,Leon接過後奇怪地望著然後揭開公文袋口,想看看是什麼,歌迷就說: 「係電腦書o黎架!」Leon :「哦!」就將公文袋口掩好,又拿在手上。緩緩地步下斜路時,又有歌迷遞上一小袋吃的東西。再有人遞上東西,Leon就輕聲喃喃地說 : 「我隻手有好多野喎。」不過仍繼續接。在經過航空公司柜位時,有位外藉人仕早有準備,站好位置,當Leon經過時,大叫 : "Leon, how are you?" Leon立刻側肯頭來回應: "hi!" 歌迷就哈哈大笑。
- 越接近禁區歌迷就越依依不捨,Leon眼睛卻越來越水汪汪,歌迷開始和Leon說Bye-bye,Leon也點頭及回應bye-bye,一個歌迷向Leon說 : 「Leon拜拜!」Leon側過頭來回應bye-bye,歌迷不捨 :「我地成三十幾日冇得見你喇!」Leon 望著歌迷扁一扁咀:「係呀!」這時身旁愛開玩笑的歌迷又開始逗他,一個說 :「Leon你隻眼.....想喊呀?」見Leon沒有出聲,繼續說 : 「中!」另一個立刻插咀 : 「Leon我知道你唔捨得我地架,你想喊就喊出黎啦!」Leon緊閉著咀,看來是忍笑多過忍喊喎!
- 來到禁區前,有歌迷在Leon面前揮手,Leon先向他左邊歌迷揮手,轉入禁區後,側頭回望右邊歌迷揮手。過了海關,Leon不忘回身再向禁區外的歌迷揮手再見。然後Leon自己背著背囊。Leon、Joe及B仔三人一同乘自動電梯到了下層,本來想乘Golf Car,不過那個Counter沒有人,Leon就提議先到VIP Lounge坐五分鐘並可在那裡要求Golf Car服務。結果Leon最後真的坐上Golf Car,Joe和司機坐第一排,Leon自己坐第二排側著身打電話,B仔和他那些巨大手提袋在第三排,直驅登機口上機了。

- 11th March: To San Francisco
- After some delay, Leon finally sets off to San Francisco tonight on the Cathay flight, to shoot his new film, with Maggie Cheung also co. starring. The flight were scheduled to depart at 10.50pm, and because this quite a prolong trip ( the longest since going solo!), there were over 100 fans in the airport. Leon arrived at 9.55pm in the dark green Sony van. Ah Bee descended to take the luggage and while he opened the side and back door of the van, and fans looked inside and saw Leon sitting inside with a cap. Ah Bee went in to check in (Joe did Leon's already), and the van temporarily drove off.
- At 10.00pm, Stanley, An Guy, Ah Bee were waiting outside the airport building and the van returned at 10.06pm and parked on the side of the pedestrian. Leon was wearing a grey tee, PVC navy jacket, grey wide trousers(with zips at the leg), black shoes and the navy cap. He didn't wear any sunglasses and his tiring eyes which reflect long working hours... (he seem didn't put on sunglasses since he know he will be away for a long time!) Stanley accompanied Leon as he got off the van and the fans rushed up to him. Leon was in no hurry, which is what the fans wanted, thus everyone walked slowly.
- A fan handed Leon a letter and Leon eagerly accepted it, thus other fans began to handed him many many letters.... ( Leon being away so long, there are a lot of things to say!) After walking a few steps, Leon's hands were full of letters. As he walked inside the glass door, a Japanese fan handed him a heart-shaped box of sweets. Leon looked at such a beautiful box and accepted and then another fan handed him a large box of biscuits. Leon looked at the box and then the fan said "Leon, bring it with you, if you don't want to eat it, just leave it aside!" Leon took it and then another fan said "Leon" and then handed him a white envelope. Leon curiously looked at the envelope and curious of the content and then she said "It is a computer magazine!" Leon replied "Oh", and took it into his hand. As they walked down the slopes, another fan handed him some snacks, and continued to hand him gifts. Leon casually replied " I have a lot of things in my arm la!" but nevertheless, he still accept. As they passed one of the airline counter, a foreign there got in position and screamed "Leon, How are you!?" Leon immediately looked back and said "Hi!". Fans were all laughing!
- As they reached the customs, fans were getting very sorrow and Leon's eyes were getting more watery and fans began to say goodbye to Leon. Leon replied the same and a fan said to Leon " Leon, bye bye!" Leon duly replied with another fan said "We wont see you for at least 30 days!" Leon looked at the fans and said "Yes!", with sadness. To ease the pain, a fan jokingly said to him "Leon, your eyes.... want to cry?" Leon with no response and then she continued " Leon, I know you will miss us, so if you want to cry, cry!" Leon shut his mouth, more like resisting laughter rather than tears! Before arriving at the customs, fans waved to him and Leon waved back and when he was inside the customs, he still looked back and waved to the fans on his right. Even when he passed the customs, Leon still looked back to waved to the fans. With the rusack on his back, Leon, Joe and Ah Bee went to the lower level . Originally they wanted to go on the golf car, but there were no one in the counter and Leon suggested to wait in the VIP lounge for around 5 minutes. They finally did get on the golf car, Joe and the driver were in the first row, while Leon was on his own in the second row, talking on the phone and Ah Bee were on the last row with the massive luggage, and they went straight to the departure area.
2000年3月2-5日 至酷千禧年黎明大馬演唱會
- 2.3.2000:
- Leon今天先到馬來西亞吉隆坡為演唱會作準備,隨行的只有子泉、阿B、Stanley、一名secure及韓國舞隊。今天到機場送機的歌迷很多,而且有十多名是和Leon同機飛往大馬的,而十多廿名記者們亦早已在機場等候。
- 保母車在3:05pm到達,由於天正下毛毛雨,所以保母車直接停在行人路旁讓子泉落車,因此站在馬路旁的歌迷可以清楚看到車廂內的Leon。子泉下車後,保母車就駛離。
- 由於國泰贊助這次演唱會旅程,所以Leon亦成為航機貴賓,因此子泉辦好手續後,約3:25pm就由國泰人員陪同由禁區B閘區行到A閘去迎接Leon,在此之前子泉示意記者先到A閘等候,而歌迷當然緊隨子泉,途中聽到國泰人員向對講機說: 「主角未出現,但係唔想fans起哄....」其實此時保母車已再次停在大樓之外,當大家行近A閘時,已見身穿灰色外套、淺藍牛仔褲、海藍橙鞋帶的A字波鞋,戴著墨鏡的Leon由Stanley陪著,雙手插在牛仔褲袋內施施然行至。
- 歌迷仍未起哄,記者已先湧上,Leon在盛情難卻之下,站在禁區邊做了數分鐘訪問,其中問題環繞是否在StarEast開設個人網頁,Leon的回應是 :「三日後o係網上俾答案。」然後就步入禁區。
- 過了禁區,Leon乘自動電梯到下層,中途有同航班的歌迷叫喊Leon,他就撥手示意歌迷離開。到達下層已有國泰接待人員上前,引領他們去坐Golf Car,歌迷則坐「無人駕駛」,分別到登機口。數名懂得走捷徑的歌迷幸運地趕上Leon,一同登機,只見阿B沿路不斷用View Cam為Leon拍下珍貴片斷,Leon亦對著鏡頭自說自話。
- 航機較原定時間延誤半小時起飛,卻也能準時在7:30pm著陸吉隆坡機場。Leon下機時已換了衣服,改穿深藍牛仔褸、深藍牛仔褲、戴上漁夫帽及墨鏡,而天恩則早已在機口迎接,Leon這位貴賓當然亦有當地國泰人員接待,過關時可以走「特別通道」啦!
- 本來大馬歌迷成員被安排在五樓VIP Lounge外迎接Leon,無奈由於取行李需時而安排有變,Leon最後在8:30pm仍由一般通道步出禁區,還好大馬歌迷趕及拿著大Banner歡迎Leon到來。
- Leon步出機場後直接上車,然後驅車直駛至J W Marriot 酒店,約在9:20pm到達酒店,Leon一進門,驚訝於剛才在機場的香港及大馬歌迷已有部份趕到酒店來再次迎接他。大馬本地secure圍繞Leon上升降機,直上Leon所往的26樓。這時另一批香港歌迷才由機場回到酒店。
- Leon到了房間後,立刻接受FM988電台的電話訪問。收聽 Click to Listen
- 晚上沒有外出,據知是和工作人員開會。
- 3.3.2000:
- 今天陸續有各地歌迷到達大馬,所以酒店大堂常常聚滿歌迷。Leon的樂隊也是今天下午到達,計有樂隊指揮Joey Tang、結他手單立文、琴鍵伍岳成及其他人員。樂手約3:30pm到達酒店,吃過東西後,在5:00pm就出發到會場單獨綵排音樂部份。Leon則借用酒店的fitness centre內的Aerobic Room,整個下午和舞隊一起排舞,練至約6:30pm。
- 約8:00pm,酒店大堂站滿歌迷及保安人員,原來Leon和隨員一同由酒店大堂外出,分坐兩架保母車到附近的「食為天酒樓」吃晚飯,Leon身上改穿一件套頭領口有拉鍊的風衣及深藍牛仔褲,原來這時陳善之、王凱文、阿佳等人已經來到大馬,和Leon一同吃飯.....(網主: 這間飯店水準不錯,大家不妨去試試。)
- 這一頓吃至大概10:30pm,Leon直接回酒店,在酒店停車場外一批剛抵達大馬的香港歌迷看到車內的Leon不禁歡呼揮手,Leon又從停車場內秘密通道回到26樓的房間,樂隊則在11:00pm才綵排完畢回到酒店。Leon這晚再沒有外出,據知亦是和工作人員開會至深夜。
- 4.3.2000:
- 今天是演出大日子,各組工作人員看來都比前一兩天緊張得多。樂隊和舞隊在5:00pm坐旅遊大巴出發到場館,Leon則在5:50pm由秘密通道坐Benz到場館,和他同車的有小清和Stanley及當地司機。
- 車子在半小時後順利駛入場館,音樂立刻響起,趕緊綵排。場館外則是歌迷及排隊入場的觀眾(尤其是搖滾區啦!),每種票價都分別地排,秩序非常好。在此必須讚揚馬來西亞黎明家族負責人的努力,除了為成員爭取到優先入場的福利,亦為海外成員作出妥善安排,因此各地歌迷都得以優先進入搖滾區,站得前前的看Leon表演 ~~ 謝謝馬來西亞LF committee。
- 觀眾在7:10pm開始進場,搖滾區很快就站得滿滿。馬來西亞歌迷當然「道具」十足,各地歌迷似乎都有備而來,日本歌迷有特長熒光棒及閃金紙扇、香港的分別有坐近台側搖大紅棒及站在搖滾區的滿手熒光棒,還有台灣、新加坡.....總之各有特色。舞台方面和香港大同小異,只是較矮、台的兩側沒有伸延至觀眾席的長橋、兩個台側彈台較香港的靠入一些、唱「非我莫屬」的小圓台沒有升得像香港那麼高。最大分別當然是設有搖滾區啦!歌迷擠在一起,搖得落力但也特別吃力。
- 這晚Leon很興奮,每唱一首歌都和台下歌迷打招呼或以眼神接觸:
- 1.如果可以再見你(台前沒有掛上兩幅大白布)~~ Leon一站出台上梯階,觀眾已不停尖叫及吹哨子,氣氛已立刻高漲。
- 2.神經質女主角
- 3.飛時期(Leon走到正面及側面三個小台,和三面觀眾縮短距離) ~~ 站在正面小台前的大馬歌迷沸騰地搖熒光棒。
- 4.愛你不愛你
- 5.我愛花香不愛花(Leon跳舞時失了少許重心,將他左面的舞蹈員推跌了,所以刻意將右面的也推倒,做成有趣場面)~~ 觀眾當然大笑啦!
- 6.少見多掛
- 7.對不起,我愛誰
- 8.從今開始
- 9.酸 ~~ 這首歌絕對令現場觀眾嘆為觀止,嘩嘩之聲不絕。
- 10.透明
- 11.妄想非非(由於Joey一人分代Mark Lui及日本結他手,所以他要表演結他獨奏,不能走到後台彈出,只好由台中走到台上~~ 他用的那支玩具槍聲音卻太差了!)
- 12.非我莫屬 (Leon、Joey和Pal在轉轉台上,表現得很親切)
- 13.100樣可能
- 14.Before Go To Rave Party
- 15.有空請愛我
- 16.眼睛想旅行
- 17.Sugar In The Marmalade (跳得很落力 ) ~~ 觀眾看到舞蹈員擦Leon兩腿時都歡呼。
- 18.Prima Donna
- 19.Be My Girl
- 20.今生不再(唱之前只說是送給大家一首電影主題曲 ~~ 可沒有報上說的那些)
- 21.情深說話未曾講
- 22.大綱與細節
- 23.我這樣愛你
- Encore:(以上衣服跟香港完全一樣,但此時卻換上全新的粉紅透視襯衫、黑皮褲,褲的兩旁及單後袋袋邊都綴有金釘 )
- 24.That's Life
- 25.對不起,我愛你
- 26.一夜傾情
- (唱完後說了一大段話 詳細內容 )
- 27.Happy 2000
- 唱完所有歌曲後,Leon在台上介紹排舞者、樂隊成員及Thomas King。Leon一而再的在台前天橋上來回,感覺是很捨不得這個舞台、這地的觀眾。不過終於依依不捨地回到後台。
- 大概相隔半小時,Leon由Stanley、阿B及小清陪同下離開會場,直駛回酒店停車場,經秘道回房。過了十二時,Leon就由升降機直達酒店Lower Level 1的日本餐廳出席慶功讌。這間日本餐廳全由透明玻璃間成,難得一睹Leon風采。由升降機出口至餐廳門外有少數fans看到Leon出現時都雀躍不已,有些更高叫他,不過Leon沒有反應。Leon坐到席上後,歌迷陸續來到,並圍在上層欄杆向下望著Leon吃東西,可能Leon不喜歡這種感覺,所以就站出來,拿起咪高峰說 :「夜喇,你地都去食宵夜啦,呢度係私人地方,留番少少空間俾我丫!」保安就叫上層人群離開。
- Leon在慶功讌上非常開心,到每席和工作人員祝酒,因此面上紅粉緋緋。主辦人陳儀馨更帶同子女和Leon合照,又帶Leon去選紅酒。約1:30pm,Leon在Joe和各隨員的陪同下先行離席,在餐廳門外等候的歌迷對經過的Leon齊聲一叫 : 「Leon!」,Leon也開開心心的轉過頭來揮手打招呼,在回升降機的通道上,Leon亦多次和歌迷打招呼。
- 據知Leon回房間後仍和工作人員開會達至差不多3:00am。

- Leon今早只有陳善之陪同乘坐CX720航機回香港,約在8:10am經酒店大堂離開,其間有幾名歌迷在等候,歌迷叫「Leon早晨」,可能是太累,Leon只揮一揮手回應就坐上Benz離開。大概在9:00am到達吉隆坡機場,先將行李卸下,Leon就在9:20am下車。他身穿深(綠?)色風衣、深藍牛仔褲、戴漁夫帽、墨鏡,背著Prada小背袋,到了機場大樓入口,預先在這裡等候的歌迷向他說聲「早晨!」,Leon隨和地回應 :「早晨!」,然後歌迷就跟同Leon一起步行到VIP Lounge入口,途中有個女子走近想叫Leon簽名,被阿B阻擋了。在進入VIP Lounge之際,歌迷和Leon互相說 Bye-bye及揮手,當Leon進入Lounge後仍然在揮手,然後走到將近轉角處,Leon又再在窄角度回望歌迷揮手再見。
- 通過這個VIP入口之後,過了海關,有三名日本歌迷在禁區內等候,Leon和她們握握手說再見,又有數名香港歌迷在「無人駕駛」站外排排企,輕聲對Leon說 : 「Leon,早晨。」Leon點點頭回應 : 「早晨,我知道。」然後上了「無人駕駛」再登機。
- 航機在1:30pm準時著陸,Leon下機後又有國泰人員接機,帶他和Joe去撘Golf Car,不過在入境者署柜位前又和同機歌迷相遇。過了入境署後,Leon和Joe一同進洗手間,剩下國泰人員在等行李。後來小清來到,他們又出來會合,等行李等了很久,Leon走到部份相熟的歌迷(這是Joe的說法)面前,雙手半掩著咀,輕聲叫他們不要在這裡等,因此歌迷唯有先行走出禁區,而其他歌迷也在取得行李後陸續離開禁區,離開前和Leon說Bye-bye,Leon也有回應。
- 由於是星期日,接機大堂非常多歌迷在A閘出口等候,但是Leon卻在B閘離開,以為可以見見Leon的歌迷空歡喜一場了。
- (網主 : 今次四天行程能多次見到Leon,實在得到很多幫忙,謝謝各位。真係太開心喇!~~ 搖了這麼多年熒光棒,只有這次擠在搖滾區第一排而手肘下又有一塊鐵欄頂住,搖得起勁就難免將手肘鋤在鐵欄上,別有一份深刻「感受」!)

- 2.3.2000
- Leon sets off for KL, Malaysia today in preparation for his upcoming concert. Together with him today was Chi Chuen, Ah Bee, Stanley, one secure and the Korean dance team. There are a lot of fans at the airport today with around 20 or so flying out on the same flight with Leon. There were also 20 journalists there waiting. The van arrived at 3.05pm, since it was raining lightly, the van let Chi Chuen off at the pedestrian way. Thus, the fans at that side could clearing see Leon inside the van. When Chi Chuen descended, the van drove off temporarily. Since this trip were sponsored by Cathay Pacific, Leon was their VIP guest. After Chi Chuen done all the necessarily check in arrangements, at 3.25pm together with some Cathay officials, they walked from custom area gate B to gate A to meet with Leon. Before this, Chi Chuen already indicated to journalists that to wait for Leon at gate A. Fans stood very close to Leon and overheard a their conversation "Although the star hasn't arrive but don't want the fans to get over excited!". Actually, at this time, Leon's van has arrived back outside the airport building. When the crowd reached gate A, Leon was already there with Stanley. He was wearing a grey jacket, light blue jeans, blue with orange laces Acupuncture trainers. He was wearing sunglasses with his hand inside his jeans pocket. Before the fans can get excited, journalists has already rushed towards Leon. With no other option, Leon gave a couple of minutes of brief interview outside the customs area. The questions mainly surrounded the rumours of Star East and the possibility of his personal website. Leon replied " Answer will be available in three day's time on the net!". Then he walked into customs. Inside. Leon was on the escalators to the lower level. On the way, some fans who were on the same flight as him called him and Leon signalled to the fans to leave. At the lower level, there were already some Cathay official waiting and then directed Leon on the golf car. Fans went on the internal trains, ascending to the plane. Some fans who knew some shortcuts managed to catch up with Leon, thus ascending together. On the way, Ah Bee was constantly filming Leon with the view cam and Leon was speaking into the camera.
- The flight was delayed take off for around 30 minutes but still arrived on time at 7.30pm in KL airport. Leon had already changed clothes wearing navy jeans and fisherman's hat and sunglasses. Tin Yan were already waiting for him here and being VIP guest, Cathay already had officials there waiting and when he was passing immigration, he even had a "special passage" to go.
- Originally Leon family Malaysia were waiting for him on the fifth floor VIP lounge, but since there were some complications with the luggage collection, Leon exited at the normal arrival area at 8.30pm. But the Malaysian fans still were on time and had huge banners welcoming Leon! Straight away, Leon were lead to the car and were driven to the JW Marriot hotel. At 9.20pm, Leon reached the hotel and once he walked in, he was shocked to see some of the fans that accompanied him from Hong Kong and some Malaysian fans were already there! Malaysian security guards formed a circle around Leon and accompanied Leon to his room on the 26th floor. At the same time, other fans from Hong Kong only reached the hotel now. Inside his room, Leon immediately gave an interview to the local radio station FM988. 。Click to Listen
- He didn't leave the hotel tonight, mainly holding meetings with his concert team.

- Today, fans from elsewhere began to arrived, thus in the hotel lobby gathered many fans. Leon's musicians also arrived in the afternoon. There were conductor of the concert Joey Tang, guitarist Pal, pianist and others. Other musicians arrived at 3.30pm. After they have eaten, at 5.00pm, they went to the stadium to rehearse the music part. In the meantime, Leon used the hotel's aerobic room in the fitness centre to rehearse some dancing arrangements. They rehearsed until 6.30pm.
- At 8.00pm, there gathered a large crowd of fans and security guards in the hotel lobby. This is because Leon and his team will go out to dine. Leon was wearing a cardigan and navy jeans. It turned out that Joe Chan, Alvin Wang and Ah Guy etc. had arrived in KL and were going to dine with Leon... (webmaster: that rest is quite good! you can try it if you get an opportunity!) At 10.30pm, Leon returned to the hotel and when he arrived at the carpark, some fans who just arrived from Hong Kong saw Leon inside the car and were very excited and waved to him. Leon returned to his room on the 26th floor from the secret passage. The musicians returned to the hotel at 11.00pm after rehearsal. Leon didn't leave again tonight and he was in another meeting with his crew.
- 4.3.2000
- Today is the big day, thus all the crew were a little anxious. At 5.00pm, the musicians and the dancers set off to the stadium on the tour bus. At 5.50pm, Leon, through the secret passage went towards the stadium on the Benz. With him were Siu Ching and Stanley. The journey took 30 minutes and as soon as they arrived, the music began for rehearsal. Outside the stadium, there were fans and those queuing to get in (... especially queuing for the rock area!). For different ticket prices, there were different queues and there were no confusions. Here we must prise and thank the Malaysia Leon family committee's help and time. Not only can they achieved early entrance for their members, there were exceptional arrangements for overseas members. Thus all family members got exemptions and had early entry to the "rock area" of the stadium; standing right infront of Leon's stage~~ Thank you Malaysian LF committee. At 7.10pm, the audience began to arrive, and the "rock area" filled up very quickly! All fans seem to come fully equipped; Japanese fans had long luminous rods with golden fans, Hong Kong fans had the usual big red rods and those at the rock area had many small luminous rods. There were also Taiwanese, Singapore...... everyone had their own uniqueness! The stage were similar to that of Hong Kong, only it is a little lower, and at the two side, there were no long arms that stretched into the audience. The two jump area were a little inner to the stage, and when he was singing "No one but me", the small circle stage didn't ascend as high as that in Hong Kong. The main difference is of course the "rock area" here! All the fans gathered inside and while rocked together but especially tiring! Leon was very excited and after each song, he waved to the fans and there were plenty of eye contact.
- The songs rundown are as follows:
- 1. If I can see U again ( the stage had two big white curtains)~ Leon were on the steps on the stage. The audience were at fever pitch~ screaming & blowing whistles. The atmosphere were very high!
- 2. Mental female lead
- 3. Flying time ( Leon went from the main stage to the three stages, moving nearer to the audience)~ those Malay fans infront of the small stages waved madly their wands.
- 4. Love U/ Not Love U
- 5. I love scent of flower but not flower (When Leon was dancing, he tipped over slightly and pushed the dancer on the left down, thus he deliberately pushed those on the right as well to create a funny effect!) the audience of course laughed!
- 6. Less I see U, more I miss U
- 7. Sorry, I love who?
- 8. From Now on
- 9. Sour~ the audience were in awe by this song and "Wah Wah" can be heard
- 10. Transparent
- 11. Imagination flying (since Joey had to stand in for both Mark Lui and the Japanese guitarist, thus he had to go from centre stage to the lower level and couldn't go back stage~ but the sound of his toy gun is a little poor!)
- 12. No One but Me ( Leon, Joey and Pal were at the revolving stage, so close!)
- 13. 100 Possibilities
- 14. Before Go to Rave Party
- 15. If free, Please Love me
- 16. The Eyes wants to travel
- 17. Sugar in the Marmalade
- 18. Prima Donna
- 19. Be my girl
- 20. Never Ever ( before he sang, Leon said he wants to sing a theme song of one of his film- but didn't mentioned those that were said in the press)
- 21. Love words not yet spoken
- 22. Theme and details
- 23. I love U this way
- Encore: ( the clothes he was wearing in the above were the same as Hong Kong but here, he changed into a see through pink shirt, black leather trousers (with gold pins at the two pockets)
- 24. That's Life
- 25. Sorry, I love U
- 26. Love in one night
- (After that, he made a brief speech Details )
- 27. Happy 2000
- After he sang all the songs, Leon briefly introduced the dancers, musicians and Thomas King. Once again, Leon walked from the bridge infront of the stage, the feeling that Leon didn't want to leave the stage or the audience; but he slowly went backstage. After around 30 minutes, accompanied by Stanley, Ah Bee and Siu Ching, Leon left the stadium and went straight back to the hotel and back to his room. After midnight, Leon arrived into the hotel's lower level 1's Japanese restaurant for the post concert party. Since the entire Japanese restaurant is made up of transparent glass, fans can see Leon perfectly! There were plenty of fans that gathered outside and were very excited to see Leon, some even called Leon but there were no response. Many fans began to arrived and some were looking at Leon eating from the upper level. Maybe Leon is not quite happy with this feeling, thus he stood up and took the mic and said "It is late, Please go to eat! this is a private function, please give me some space!" Security began to asked those to leave at the upper level.
- Leon was very happy inside and were drinking with each table and slight redness on his face. The organiser Chen Yee Hing brought her children to see Leon and went to choose red wine with him. At around 1.30am, Leon and Joe and some crew left the party. Those fans waiting outside said "Leon" as he walked passed and he happily looked back and waved back. On his way to the escalator, he waved to the fans many times. It was believed that after Leon returned to his room, they were in meeting until 3.00am.
- 5.3.2000
- Only Joe Chan accompanied Leon's return to Hong Kong on the flight CX720. He left the hotel at around 8.10am with some fans waiting for him. Fans greeted Leon with "Good Morning" but maybe because Leon was too tired, he only waved and hopped onto the Benz. At around 9.00am, they reached KL airport. Bringing the luggage in, at 9.20am, Leon descended. He was wearing a dark green wind jacket, navy jeans, fisherman hat, sunglasses, with his Prada backpack, he walked into the airport building. Some fans were waiting and said "Good Morning", Leon replied gently "Good Morning". Fans followed Leon into the VIP lounge door. On the way, a lady wanted to get Leon's autograph but were stopped by Ah Bee. As Leon were about to walk into the VIP lounge, both Leon and fans waved goodbye. Leon continued to waved to the fans even when he was inside. When he went passed customs, there were three Japanese fans waiting for him. Leon shaked hands with them and said goodbye, and there were a couple of Hong Kong fans waiting for him at the internal trains. They gently said "Leon, Good Morning!". Leon nodded in reply and said "Good Morning, I know!" and then went on to the internal train.
- The flight arrived into Hong Kong at 1.30pm and once again, Cathay officials were there waiting to greet him; bringing him and Joe to the golf car. But as they reached immigration, once again joined up with the fans. Leon and Joe popped into the washroom while the Cathay officials waited for the luggage. Then, Siu Ching joined them.They had to wait quite long for the luggage, thus Leon went over the some of the known fans (as Joe said) and his two hands slightly covering his mouth and asked the fans not to wait for him there. Thus, some fans walked towards arrival, while others continued suit. Before they left, they said goodbye to Leon and Leon replied. Since today was Sunday, there were a lot of fans waiting at gate A, but Leon exited at gate B, so those waited at gate A didn't get a chance to see Leon.
- (webmaster: In this 4 day trip, being able to see Leon many times must thank all the help I got, thank so much. Really is too too happy. Waving wands so many years, only this time where packed into the first row of the rock area. While waving with a metal bar in the way underneath; the more the waving, the more rubbing into the bar, the feeling is some what special!)
