Goody-two shoes Guan You, was once a wild child who rode on a motorbike shared with two other friends. The trio took a night trip up to Yangmingshan in Taipei for its night scenery and some male bonding. His fellow band members, on hearing this, were bewildered when he first told them but he laughingly clarified that they were purely just friends.

Mayday will be in Singapore on August 28 and 29 to hold their D.N.A Mayday Creation concert. They took time off their busy schedules and held a press conference for the concert. The event was bustling with people as it was also attended by over a hundred fans. Band member Masa even likened it to a general meeting and invited Guan You to announce Mayday's financial report, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

Taking inspiration from their latest track, "Let Go", the band members were interviewed about the wildest things they have ever done. The members found this a tricky question to answer as they threw darting glances at one another. The responsibility was finally pushed to Guan You who got the ball rolling.

The supposedly docile drummer shocked everyone when he revealed that he once did many wild things in the past and therefore needed time to come up with an example. He proceeded to share his night tour experience he had with his high school classmates.The buddies shared a very close relationship and reportedly squeezed their bodies together to sit on the motorbike. After they were done with viewing the night scenery, they walked down the hill together with the bike in tow. Upon hearing Guan You's story, Cruz Teng who was the host for the event animatedly shared remarks with the drummer's fellow band members, "You're the kind that like this type of things? Three males? In which position were you seated?" The fans even joined in the ruckus and gave off loud suggestive exclamations.

Teng questioned Guan You and asked if he was still in contact with his two other friends, the drummer hurriedly clarified, "No no, we are purely friends." He added that this was all he could reveal, and left the crowd guessing.

Shi Tou wants to become a woman
With a DNA theme for the concert, Shi Tou, the lead guitarist, revealed that he would like to become a female, "I think that women are very puzzling beings. I saw my wife go through pregnancy, and this is something that is only accomplishable by women. I thought to myself, if I were a woman, would I have even more love than what she has for children and the world?"

Holding their first-ever two-night concert in Singapore
Sales of the Mayday concert tickets were met with such an overwhelming response they decided to add another performance on August 28. Incidentally, this date collides with the 1999 date of their first ever concert that was attended by a 100,000 strong crowd.

Guai Shou expressed that they are these two concerts will be slightly different from another as they would sing different songs; however, they are still in the planning stage. Following which, band member Ashin remarked that they would be performing older and lesser heard songs on the 28th, similar to the kind of songs they performed a decade ago in 1999.

Before the event came to a close, a reporter suggested the Mayday band members to put up a pole-dancing performance at their concert and faced a hesitant reply from Ashin, "We will carefully think about this suggestion, after all we are pushing for an idol image, something different from the past. There is very strong competition between bands like Fahrenheit and Lollipop. If our pole-dancing attracts too many people, we would have to hold three performances and we would not be able to take it!"
