This song is really famous, even those who
never follow Chinese music also have heard it.
Flumpool is to Japan what Mayday is to
Taiwan.
Flumpool is a band composed of four people
in Japan, and their music style is similar to Mayday’s, so that they have many cooperation
works, and they even have performed together on the same stage in Japan.
OAOA is one of their cooperation.
Actually I prefer to he Japanese version
more, because it is just somehow cooler when a song is sung in Japanese and I
prefer to soft voice. But it can’t be denied that Mayday version are more able
to heat our blood, no matter its lyrics or accompaniment are more aroused,
especially its drumbeat.
Both versions are conveying an idea that
making people pursue their dream bravely. But Flumpool tell us that our dream
will come true someday in the future, while Mayday emphasis on putting it in
practice immediately and seizing the moment. That is why the latter is more
powerful.
Although this song is well-known, do you know what "OAOA” means?
"It's the cry of baby, it's the shape of Ferris wheel, it's the shape of sun and mountain, it's the shout toward valley... whatever your OAOA is, we can sing the same OAOA, the only thing you can do is to sing out your feelings." Ashin answered.
Mayday!
