Mayday
An influential rock band from Taiwan. With footprints covering Asia, the US, Europe, Australia and other regions, Mayday occupies an unshakable star position in the heart of Asian music fans.
In the 13 years since their first public appearance, Mayday has released eight studio albums. Mayday's music truthfully voices the heartfelt wishes of young Chinese about their life, relationship and work, and reflections. The pursuit of dreams expressed through their songs have touched the hearts of countless souls!
MAYDAY has won countless awards for music achievements. They received more than 150 domestic and oversea music awards, including the MTV Video Music Awards Japan and Best Buzz Asia Greater China Artist Award, and records they created are unsuppressed in the history of popular music in Taiwan -- four-time winner of the Best Band Award, Golden Melody Awards (highest honor in the music field in Taiwan). This year, they were chosen to receive the Best Mandarin Album, Best Musical Arranger, Best Composer, Best Producer, and Award for Song of the Year and are the champion band for 2012.
MAYDAY never fails to create miracles in their concerts and has never ceased to challenge themselves. In over 200 concerts in their world tour, more than 10 millions of fans attended their concerts. For the two consecutive concerts held in Beijing Bird's Nest in 2012, the 200,000 tickets were sold out in one day. Media in Asia praised MAYDAY as the "King of Concert." UK media even dubbed MAYDAY the "Chinese Beatles."
Yes, many people cares that.
They are from Taiwan, a special country.
Mayday and all of their fans loves this little island very much.
Mayday is from Taiwan🇹🇼❤️
DID YOU GUYS HEAR WHAT STONE SAY? IT'S ALL ABOUT MUSIC! POLITICS SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND JUST BECAUSE WE ARE ALL FANS OF MAYDAY!
Yes Mayday comes from Taiwan, not any other countries!
Ta, what the hell cant the host distinguish Taiwan from China?
im from china, and a huge mayday fan. but mayday is from taiwan for sure. im not really a political person. i just think proper wording could lead to mutual respect and tolerance.
I am from Taiwan, and you have absolutely no idea how it feel. People who can say "I'm from XX." out loud and don't even have to add "yes! XX is a country!" would not know how WE feel.
Mayday won't try to correct the host, or else the headline of the next day Taiwan's newspaper would have changed. and also you would never see "Mayday" appear in China ever again. you see how serious it is?
They are band from Taiwan. I am proud that we born and live in the same place.
They come from Taiwan!!!!
OK?
I think no matter what, people knows that fact that they are from Taiwan. No matter what Google did, people all know the truth. I mean they are born in Taiwan and grow up in Taiwan, this is the true Taiwan Band because their band was not influenced by Chinese society but Taiwan society. This proves their true identity as Taiwanese Band. The symbol of Taiwan.
T a i w a n！！！！！！！
I love Mayday's music, dont care if they are chinese or taiwanese
+Hiền Trang Nguyễn they are taiwanese not chinese，chinese dont represent Taiwanese and Hongkongese
I know but I don't care. Taiwanese. Chinese. Americans. Mongolians. Whatever. I love the music, just that. I don't care where they come from. I just think this should not be the matter when it comes to music. Hope you understand what I mean
+Hiền Trang Nguyễn absolutely right.... 👍👍👍
好感動!!
The host obviously did not do his homework and it is disappointing that a Global Marketing Director would make this type of mistake. Mayday is rooted in Taiwan and branched out to the other Mandarin speaking regions from Mainland China to North America. This should not be a political topic. This is about the basic respect of the artists' background.
我也是來自香港的，所以我覺得那個香港人說的真的說中了我的心聲，我感覺自己國語好像講得好了一點。
ch ing 咁犀利? 你國語好過我喎
hey, they are Taiwanese kids, they are form TAIWAN.
I am from taiwan,too! I am very proud that Mayday and I are from the same country.Their song always cheer me up.They are the greatest band in the world.An they are from Taiwan!!
Please ”google” it....Mayday is from Taiwan, OK?
五月天五月天
Maday is from Taiwan.They are Taiwanese not chinese.
"Mayday" is from Taiwan. "Maday" is from China.
Mayday is from Taiwan. As is know, Taiwan is part of China.
ゆうた That's what I'm talking about man, even I come from China, but face to the truth, Mayday they come from Taiwan, but people in Taiwan are part of Chinese.
@@daisywong3452 Taiwan is not part of China. Go do some study. And don't tell me you think USA is part of UK. LOL
Thanks Google!!
I Love Mayday!!
I want to go to their concert in London!
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
thanks
Good job for the translator!
Ha
Masa's favorite song is same with me! In my life!
MAYDAY ~FINALLY AT US NEWSPAPER ~
No matter how u think about them
That is kinda sad when people only focus on where Mayday is from.
You can translate 华人 to Chinese so does that really matter?
The truth is Mayday does have massive fans in the mainland of china.
We all love MAYDAY.. Nothing can deny this truth.
Don't be that sensitive dear all my friends.
Because the host said, "This is Mayday from China." which is equivalent to telling the audience "This is lady Gaga from UK." just because she is white and many USA people were originated from UK. It's like not recognizing Gaga's culture and her government does exist which is USA. So this host is not recognizing and respecting Mayday and their culture and their Taiwan government which is very unprofessional of the host.
Top 10 bands in the world!!! ^ ^
they're from taiwan, not china...
Mayday said they're come form the Island of Asia,
but actually the're come from TAIWAN.
I interpret Mayday would like to sharing the glory with all Asian,
Mayday in Google HQ
MAYDAY is band from taiwan. 五月天mayday來自亞洲一個小島is TAIWAN.
Mayday from Taiwan
Or maybe, the reason that they didn't correct it was because it might hurt the opportunities of the Taiwanese Entertainment industry in China as well as their own opportunities in China...
You have to remember, this is a very touchy issue. Just because a Taiwanese person doesn't say anything, DOESN'T MEAN THEY AGREE WITH IT!
五月天
If a person disagrees with "the misrepresenation of his or her identity" and yet remains silent in fear of losing profits over speaking out, then indirectly the person agrees with the misrepresentation.
The responsibilities of clarifying "where they are from" rest on the band, far more than on the host. I think the criticism toward the host is misplaced.
I understand the fans are relunctant to criticize the band, but truth speaks louder than passion, be fair, stop criticizing the host.
Mayday is from Taiwan
Britain and the USA: both speak English and both sing in English. And yet I think the world can agree with me that they are two separate nations with two distinctive styles of government, just as Taiwan and China have two distinctive forms of economy.
Masa retains his wit regardless of what language he's speaking LOL
Mayday is form Taiwan not China.
宛萱楊井 戏精
They are from Taiwan NOT China Please
Masa was giggling all the time so funny hahahahahaha
Mayday is from Taiwan!!!
Mayday from TAIWAN! Not from China!
23:54 哈哈哈雙關！如果聽不懂中文的話，能懂阿信一石二鳥的說法ㄇ😂
I wonder what is the relation between French bread and music video?
What is the music video that cause so many discussion??? = ...="
NOT from CHINA or CHINESE band.
They are from TAIWAN and they are TAIWANESE band!!!
瑪莎怪獸推阿信好可愛呀XDD
雖然覺得他那樣說有一種
身為小人物也能站在這裡的感覺
很振奮人心
但是就是不爽聽到有批評的聲音
The confusion probably comes from the fact that Taiwan's official name is the Republic of China. Somebody likely mistook the Republic of China (Taiwan) for the People's Republic of China (China).
Mayday is from Taiwan!!! Taiwan!!! Taiwan!!!
why cant google get a mandarin host? gosh.
that's interesting. the host can speak Mandarin. The audience are asian. but they translate the language in English.
I think it was because this seems like it was broadcasted live. I don't know for sure though because I'm pretty new to Mayday.
What the host talking about ?! They are come from Taiwan. NOT CHINA !!
I was completely struck.
They are so not from China. Do some homework, please. I seriously believe it was very rude that a worldwide company made such fundamental mistake.
I know they are from Taiwan. It doesn't matter to me whether they are from Taiwan or China.
But has it ever crossed your mind that they actually consent or advise the host to use the term that "this is a band from China?"
The fact they didn't correct this "important information" when they could have easily done so during the interview, maybe, just maybe indicate their consent to the identity of "a band from China?"
Just a thought. This is a group of intelligent guys...
TAIWAN ！！！
After watching the whole interview, it turns out:
1.the Interview was 99% successful except "from China."
2.MAYDAY 五月天 did an extraordinary GJ to showcase
itself and promote Google, Google+ and UA-cam for you.
3.even the Audience (G staff) & the Interpreter on the left
altogether made this talks so alive, but NOT the HOST.
4. the wrong introduction given in the front welcome ruined
the perfection of this work, turned Google[+] into Garfield[-]
> 這位估狗Plus全球行銷總監，您的無心?害了所有人的努力！
干杯/乾杯
without the explanation part,,it is difficult to understand why masa name the band as 'June'>
Let us talk about music and not politics
wow. it's so strange. as a foreigner, i wonder why neither the band nor anyone sitting there try to correct the host. maybe it sounds too political to say "no we're not really from china, we're from taiwan"?
Mayday is the band from TAIWAN! Not from China!
their race is chinese... their nationality is taiwanese...
by the way i am neither citizen of china or taiwan...
From Taiwan ok? Not china!
It was very disrespectful of the host to call them "mayday the band from china" and "chinese band" Those labels don't apply to this Taiwanese band from Taiwan! Subtle generalizations like this should not be overlooked.
什么面包？
OMG it is so insulting for the host to deny his guests' nationality.
I was stunned when he said Taiwan Google right after. He did this on purpose?
I always thought that Google is an open and respectful company.
How could this kind of mistakes suppose to happen?
I would rather the host say Mayday from Asia instead of China.
BTW people in China are not allowed to view UA-cam,right?
So rude :(
Not really. But anyways I blame the KMT government / China for this, not google or anyone else.
no matter what happened.
all i have to say is the band is comes from Taiwan.
I can fully appreciate your concern and anxiety over the "Taiwanese" identity. But without any evidence, it's a bit "rude" to label Google as the reason behind the whole "Chinese band" episode. After all, I think Google is "big" enough not to be itimidated by whomever you have in mind over a band's country of origin.
Judging by the band's silence during and after the interview, I am afraid you might be in for a disappointment over this argument in the long run. Best luck to you.
面包是什么事啊？
Perhaps, but that is disrespectful nonetheless. As a host, he should have thoroughly researched his guests before introducing them
Taiwan！！！
You wouldn't call the Beatles an American band, or Maroon 5 an English band. I find it disappointing that a basic distinction between race and nationality can be so lazily glossed over. Especially for a platform that garners views worldwide.
No No....Mayday come from Taiwan!!!!
speak chinese, sings in chinese. the official name is republic of china, doesn't matter how you look at it, its china, the capitalist china, vs the red china in mainland
Maybe the host say so is because he's from china, o lots of staffs here are fr CN... It's the way to avoid unpleasant emotion in audience. 其实阿信在演唱会时说到「我们来自亚洲的小岛」，也在中国的论坛引起大家争议，就像在这里大家对「fr CH」的争议一样。果然国土问题最容易引发争论，大概哪天他们真的挑明立场要与中国切割，也就等于与一块庞大的「肥肉」切割了吧。哈。
Mayday the members are ethnically Chinese and their nationality is Taiwan. So they are Taiwanese and not from China. China and Taiwan two different nations. Would you call black Americans are they Algerians just because they are black? They are ethnically black but nationally they are Americans so they are black Americans. Just like Mayday they are Chinese from Taiwan so they are Taiwanese and it's different than Chinese from China because China and Taiwan are two different nationality just like America and Algeria are two different nationality. Thank you. This host from google doesn't do his homework how did he get his job? It's like introducing an American rock band telling the audience they are from UK. Please do some research host of google. Mayday is Taiwanese or Chinese from Taiwan, They are from Taiwan ...... NOT CHINA!
I'm a Taiwanese, it's the host's fault to have the info wrong, however, Mayday didn't correct the host probably because it's a pretty political sensitive topic... They've a lot of fans in China, I bet they don't what to hurt their feelings..? Let's not put the focus on such political shi*...
Is Taiwan a Nation in UN? I am so surprised Mayday's fans are so blinded in political issues. Most of domestic people in North America do not think Taiwan is a country politically. I really feel sorry for the silly comments.
"welcome mayday the band from CHINA?"
not china, but taiwan! ok?!
那天就覺得奇怪，阿信為什麼說他們是來自亞洲一個小島的樂團，
原來在美國不能說到台灣呀．．．太讓人無奈了！！
不過是個音樂會阿....
李小琪 應該不是在美國不能說台灣吧
台下去看他們的都是中國人 根本沒有外國人會去看 他們再說自己來自台灣台下估計一個人都沒了
还有啊，你看看这世上。。。谁需要把UN搬出来证明自己的国家是一个国家啊。。。美国都不需要整天嚷嚷自己是个国家什么的。。。所以喜欢给台湾撑撑腰，看着我们这种来自同一个ethnicity的人吵来吵去。。BTW，我真的没有任何政治倾向，我也非常喜欢台湾，很喜欢这个岛屿培养出五月天这么棒的团，所以就是不希望fans在下面因为主持人一句话就在这里出言不逊什么的，有点羞愧，五月天应该也不想看见歌迷浪费时间在这种事情上。
Mayday from Taiwan not China.
Mayday is from"TAIWAN", please!
既然你看得懂这个视频，一定看得懂中文吧，如果你看不懂中文，这也没什么可争论的了。我想说的是，中国的一国两制政策完全是历史的产物，如果没有以前的国家元首施行这个政策，中国，不管是香港，台湾将会是什么情景谁都说不清楚。话说回来，世界上别的国家的人才不在乎台湾是不是中国的一部分。我有一次社会学上，老师是加拿大人，她提到澳门在世界人口统计上被列为人口密度较大的一个地方。她说，澳门在政治上被称为是中国一部分，可是社会学统计上却要分开，我也不知道为什么，这些都是政治原因。所以我想说的是，喜欢五月天就是一种精神和态度，台湾是不是中国的一部分这种事情你我说了都不算，没必要把自己喜欢的偶像和这种尴尬的政治问题联系在一起。
Sicao Wang 但“台灣“不就是最不引起稱呼的名稱嗎？
终结孤单的MV里找……
what the
不好意思~~!!
中國大陸那種封閉的環境現在是不可能有這種創意十足的樂團出現的~
除非他們的政策完全開放否則這幾十年內是不可能的~
當初BEYOND也是香港那時候開放的環境才可能成功~~~~~
五月天他們是"台灣人"~~~別胡扯!!
Taiwan is Taiwan, not China or part of the China, I am very disappointed with you google inc
Mayday come from Taiwan, not China!
" T A I W A N ! "
Wow.... 'Welcome Mayday!!! the band from China!' ..... erm... awkward much??? :|
errrhhhh you can still tell that the host has a little bit asian accent im pretty sure he can actually speak mandarin, if he cant, whats the point of having an asian host then? ==
FROM CHINA?
Ok Taiwanese, could you tell me what is the official language of your country?
CHIIINAAAAAA??????? WUUUTTTT????????
True, we don't know what went on behind the scene.
But let's look at the fact: The band has a lot more to lose immediately, namely the profits and fan base in China. Given their ambition to become "a leading brand" in the Mandarin-speaking market, they simply can't afford it.
Google, on the other hand, is big enough to withstand the fall out, if there is one, by announcing a band is from Taiwan. I just can't image Google is demanding the band to hide their "Taiwanese" identity.
FROM CHIAN?????
From china?!!
get over the fact that some people simply believe taiwan is part of china... because it IS a part of china.
THIS supposed to be very very DISGRACEFUL
that this HOST at Google didn't do the homework!!
I was so excited about this delayed upload as i found it,
but got so frustrated at very begining of it? (what's his name, pls!)
Hey people: The endless obsession over the "Chinese or Taiwanese" thing is a bit old and unnecessary. Apparantly the band wants to position itself as "a band in the Mandarin speaking world." They also emphasize "Music is the medium for communication among different and all people."
There is a Chinese saying: "The emperor is not anxious, but the .....are."
Just relax and enjoy their music. If they want you guys to fight for their identiities, they'd have said so. Their silence is the best hint.
