Yuki's candy for the eyes and ears		Yanzi and Yuki pack in the crowds July 30, 2001 Despite the heavy downpour on Saturday (July 28), thousands packed Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza for Yanzi's autograph session. When night fell, more than a 10,000 Yanzi and Yuki fans were roaring for their concert. By Kwok Kar Peng (Click on pictures for larger image) Stage left, shrieks from Yanzi's die-hard fans. Stage right, Yuki's supporters rallied back. For minutes, the segregated crowd indulged in a frenetic competition to see who could scream their idol's name louder and longer. The winning declaration must be the one by a female fan (from the 'Yanzi Camp') who hollered, "Yuki, I want to marry you!" when special guest Yuki Masuyama bounced on stage with the fast number Crash Dancing. It's always a mind-boggling wonder what overactive oestrogen hormones can do to young and impressionable female minds. After 5 songs from the teenage lad, Yanzi finally hit the stage in a fiery display of flares in her first home concert. Bearing a Cheshire grin and waving to her screaming fans, some of whom camped overnight from Friday to 'chope' the best seats, her level of sophistication and stage experience hid the fact that this 23 year-old hit the music scene only a year ago. She was halted midway by comedic duo y.e.s 933 DJs Liyi and Chongqing with a surprise birthday celebration. The ecstatic gleam in her eyes when she saw the cake was matched only by the shock expressed when she saw her present from Warner Music - a spanking new Nokia 9120 WAP-enabled phone, 1 out of the only 2 available in Singapore. When we spoke to Yanzi and Yuki at the post-concert party, our pop princess said she was "pleasantly surprised" at the sheer amount of fans who turned up. "I wasn't nervous during the concert, since this isn't the biggest concert I've held. I was quite calm and wanted to have a good time and influence the crowd and spread the contagious vibe." Newbie Yuki confessed he was a bundle of nerves when he was on stage, and there's only one word to express his feeling now: high! That makes him one of the many thousands who had a fantastic time that night!     Photo Gallery >>   Join the discussion on our message board Stefanie Sun - most popular S'porean singer.
