Inspired by his favorite childhood heroes Batman and Spiderman, Taiwan-based singer and songwriter Lee-Hom Wang wants his upcoming concerts to give him an opportunity to become "Music-Man."
Wang announced the theme for his concerts, due to be held on September 19 and 20 at the Taipei Arena, in a press conference on Tuesday.
Strong visual effects will be a feature of the concerts, Wang told the Tungstar. Fans can expect to see the same stylistic displays found in Batman, Spiderman and even Superman, he says.
Asked who the enemy of his "Music-Man" incarnation is, Wang replied, "iracy and people making bad music."
The singer will release a new album in September, and is expected to perform some of the new songs at the concerts.
Tickets opened Tuesday in hot demand, with the first show being sold out in just two hours, Tungstar reports.
Taiwanese singer Wang Lee-hom has accused an Indian filmmaker of plagiarising his music and is seeking $320,000 in damages.
Lee-hom, 33, a US-born singer popular in Southeast Asia, is seeking damages from Tips Films, distributor of the Hindi film Race, which was released in March, Sony BMG Music Entertainment Ltd said in a statement.
“The lead song in Race - Zara Zara touch me, resembles Wang’s song Deep in the bamboo grove (Chu Lin Shen Chu). Its rhythm and tempo are similar to that of Deep in the bamboo grove. The similarity is nearly 100 percent,” added the statement.
Sony BMG said it reserves the right to take legal action against distributor of Race for plagiarism.
In the film, Zara Zara touch me was picturised on Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif.
Race, also starring Akshaye Khanna, Anil Kapoor, Sameera Reddy and Bipasha Basu, has been showcased in India, the US, Britain, Australia and Malaysia and its original soundtrack has also been released in these countries.
Deep in the bamboo grove is part of Wang’s album The Sun and Moon in My Heart, a collection of 12 Chinese-language songs released in Dec 2004.
The song mixes a Tibetan woman’s singing with hip hop and Chinese drums and flute.
