最遙遠的演唱會(上)

因為2004年暑假喺HMV買嘅一張唱片，今年我已經第二次踏足俄羅斯。

Smash!!係一隊俄羅斯組合，當年以「t.A.T.u.師弟」嘅名義嚟香港宣傳。我已經唔太記得點解當日會揀佢哋嘅唱片，只知道聽完之後就即刻畀其中一個成員Sergey Lazarev嘅聲線吸引住。後來Smash!!宣佈解散，Sergey開始獨立發展。而我今次去莫斯科睇嘅《Concert THE BEST》正正就係慶祝佢獨立發展十周年嘅演唱會。

講番十年前，Smash!!解散之後，俄羅斯嘅音樂似乎同香港完全絕緣。堅持買唱片嘅我後來經Amazon買到Sergey第一張個人大碟《Don’t be Fake》，之後就開始走火入魔，情歌正正就係需要呢一把咁磁性嘅聲線(加埋甜到漏嘅露齒笑容)去演繹先至打動到人！隨後嘅幾隻唱片都係喺網上面買，有時又會喺YouTube睇下佢嘅現場演出或者MV，呢個男人嘅音樂開始成為我生活嘅一部份。

嗰陣我時不時都會喺度諗，唔知我會唔會有機會去現場睇佢表演呢？我唔係嗰啲要握手，要抱抱，記得偶像咩血型嘅超級忠實歌迷，但能夠親身去感受現場嘅氣氛，或者真係我一直以來嘅願望。可惜，莫斯科嘅娛樂事業同香港根本扯唔上關係，偶像開演唱會唔會有人話畀我知，要買飛就更加係無從入手...

The Farthest Concert (Part 1)

Because of a CD I bought at HMV in 2004, this is my second time been to Russia.

Smash!! was a Russian band, they claimed themselves as “junior fellow of t.A.T.u.” when they came to Hong Kong promoting their album. I don't quite remember why I chose their album, I only know I am attracted by Sergey Lazarev's voice after listening to it. Afterwards, Smash!! split up, Sergey then started his solo career. Concert THE BEST that I went to was actually a concert celebrating the 10th anniversary of his solo career.

Going back to 10 years ago, after the split up of Smash!!, Hong Kong seemed isolated from Russian music. Me, who is insisting buying CDs, bought Sergey's first album “Don't be Fake” through Amazon, after that, I am mad about him, we need such beautiful and touching voice (plus that sweetest smile showing his teeth) for love songs! I bought his other albums online and sometimes I watched his performances and music videos on YouTube, this man's music became part of my life.

Sometimes I was thinking, would there be a chance for me to watch his performance in real? I am not the kind of fan that wants to shake hands, wants to hug or remembers the blood type of celebrities, but maybe it is true that watching Sergey's performance and experiencing its atmosphere in real is my dream. However, entertainment in Moscow is nothing related to Hong Kong, no one will notify me when Sergey is gonna hold a concert, and it is even harder to find somebody to get a single ticket for me...
