00:00What are your plans for this concert and what are your expectations for the concert?
00:30What is your current focus?
01:00UMG and Nathan Studios, they're focusing on their expertise and capabilities as well.
01:06So, at least for each department, I'll focus on this.
01:14Next question is, when you were told that the venue is Mall of Asia Arena, what was the first thing you felt and what was the first thing you said?
01:22My husband has been talking to me about this whole concert ever since before when we started Senior Hypa.
01:28That's when we first really worked together.
01:31I said, let's do it, let's do it, let's do the concert.
01:36I don't know, I never really thought about it.
01:40I'm happy to perform anywhere.
01:43We've been performing for a while as well.
01:47I said, let's do it, let's do the concert.
01:51And it was never really something that was kind of set as a goal.
01:57I mean, for me as a kid, my dream was to one day be able to perform in an arena or in a stadium.
02:06It's not necessarily about self-doubt, it's just more of contentment.
02:16I'm able to perform and wherever I am performing, I'm happy.
02:21But it's the people around me.
02:25It's the people around me that have been really supporting and pushing me to that rank.
02:29It's time, baby boy.
02:31And I'm like, hey, let's do it.
02:35Because I'm a bit shy.
02:36I don't know, I'm a bit shy.
02:39What made you decide, this is it, finally, I'm ready, I'm okay?
02:47I don't think you can ever be ready for something.
02:51Right?
02:52I mean, no matter how much you prepare for something, I don't think being ready is the one thing that you can be like, ah, I am ready now.
03:01It's not like that.
03:03Why are you forcing me?
03:05I'll never be ready.
03:07But there's one thing that, you know, someone told me before.
03:14He said, don't think that this is just for you.
03:21Because this is for the people I want to see and hear.
03:25This is for their fans.
03:28And no matter how cheesy that sounds, because most of the artists are saying, for the fans, for the support.
03:34But it's true.
03:35It's, it's, it really made me think about it.
03:41I didn't think about the perspective.
03:45If you wrap the whole idea with that concept in mind of it being something for you to do for everyone who loves you and believes in you.
03:58Right?
04:00Suddenly, the direction and the whole idea of the whole concert changed.
04:07It's like, it's more nerve-wracking because you tend to think about the pressure and all of that.
04:16But at the same time, pressure really just comes from within all the time as well.
04:21It's not bad.
04:22I would not have thought in my head that it would be more...
04:25Oh, man.
04:26It would be more like, wow.
04:29For all of them.
04:33How do you envision your concert?
04:35Your very first major concert.
04:37What do you want to see?
04:39What do you want to happen?
04:40And what do you want to be, in a way, a takeaway that you can bring to the concert?
04:48That's a nice question, actually.
04:51I don't know.
04:53At the same time, I'm trying to balance selfishness and selflessness.
05:01In a way wherein, internally, we're also trying to set the flow of the show wherein...
05:13Okay.
05:15So that the pressure and the nerves are not too heavy.
05:20Let's try to imagine that we're the ones playing.
05:23Okay.
05:25And in some sort of way, I think, on the visual aspect of things,
05:30that is what is going to be captured and expounded exponentially.
05:39This whole idea of having an intimate kind of jamming session,
05:46but then multiplying that into marina.
05:52And...
05:54Nothing.
05:55Takeaway for the viewers is really just an experience.
06:00I mean...
06:02I don't think...
06:04I don't think there's a lesson to learn from this concert.
06:11But it's really just being able to be inside this whole capsule of experience.
06:22All of the stories and the things that these songs talk about.
06:26And the whole idea of people that are going there to be able to relate to these songs.
06:40And when they go there, they're going to be part of that whole experience we saw
06:46of going through those things with me and with everybody.
06:50So I feel that's what's going to happen.
