Show Lo's 8th Solo Album, New Song "Only You"

For Show Lo's second single "Only You," music video expenditures of $5 milion, first "Anti-gravity filming technique!"
World-class choreographer Shaun Evaristo graces new moves, Show Lo, "It's like all previous dancing was abolished!"
Purple helps with career and peach blossom*, Show Lo settled in a sea of tens of thousands of purple roses, "Hope to find a one and only destined one!"
(*note: "Peach blossom" refers to chances with a significant other or chances with the opposite sex)

Show Lo's 8th solo album "Only For You" will be released next month on 2/18, and to give his fans a brand new feel, for his new song "Only You," they had especially invited renowned choreographer, who has worked with Vanessa Hudgens, Aoyama Thelma, Big Bang and others, Shaun Evaristo to choreograph a brand new routine for album-titled single "Only You." The music video also re-invited director Jeff for filming, who had worked on the single, "Wow." Besides spending $5 million to recreate retro European scenery, but also creating the first "Anti-gravity filming technique," bringing Show to the nether dimension in the music video! Though with a fairly accomplished career, Show Lo was given yet another pointer by an expert, saying that not only can the color purple add to the advancement of your career, "Red until Purple*," but also helps the fate with a significant other, Show Lo : "Hope that I can quickly find the one and only!" (*note: "Red" means "Popular," so "Red until you turn Purple" signifies even more Red than red; more popular)

For his second single of his new album, "Only You, " he had made a trip out to Los Angeles and invited renowned choreographer Shaun Evaristo to choreograph for him, whose previous artist associations were Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical, Grammy Nominee Omarion, Aoyama Thelma, and Big Bang. And for "Asia's Dance King," Shaun Evaristo went all out, focusing on Show Lo's own dance style, especially creating a fierce gentleness of dance steps, but unthinkably, this gave Show Lo a hard time, bringing him a challenge to learning the new dance. Show Lo said, "At first it really felt like everything you've learned about dance had abolished! This time the dance style is completely different. It's like having learned "Shaolin Hard Qigong" but then having to practice "Wudang Taichi," you have to learn how to "Fight force with gentleness, finding a balance between hard and soft," you have to hold a lot of that energy and force inside your body, and when you perform you have to show a sort of "muffled explosive" strength, and because of that I experienced a lot of new things which I'll be putting into my choreography in my new album!" And in the poses for "Only You," Shaun Evaristo also set a smooth rhythmic "U*3" hand flip move, which will definitely bring in a wave for the trendy gentlemen dance!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Besides a different look and different choreography, this time the "Only You" music video insists on not using lots of over the top special effects and editing, but returning to the most basic, using a the most innocent of ways to depict the "love at first sight" of guy and girl! Show said, "When a guy likes a girl, the heart loses balance, and though on the outside he can hold it in, but on the inside, he's already weightless, anti-gravity, and slanting/leaning towards the girl!" And in keeping with Show Lo's album "Trendy Gentlemen" charisma, the director spent $5 million to create a retro European scene. And to depict the lyrics of a guy's love for a girl, that feeling of capsized weightlessness, the production drove in a giant crane, and hung the European scenery in midair, where Show was filmed in this "Anti-gravity" state, seemingly jumping out of the 3-D world and into a one and only nether dimension!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Besides his new album release, at the end of last year, he released his new book Lo.gic which topped the billboard for 5 consecutive weeks. With his career constantly breaking new accomplishments, Show Lo was given yet another pointer b an expert, saying that not only will the color purple help in advancing his career, "Red until purple," but will also help his chance on a mate. And in photoshooting for his new album cover, staff had especially ordered 10,000 purple roses, building a floral tent, floral chair, settling Show in a sea of purple roses. Besides the rarity of the purple roses, due to the cold wintry season, the flowers needed 3 days to blossom, giving a challenge to the staff, and while filming Show jokingly said, "Thank you everyone, for your support, But I still hope to quickly find my "One and Only soulmate!"

- 【2011/01/26 美麗時尚新聞報】羅志祥第8張個人專輯新歌「獨一無二ONLY YOU」
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
羅志祥第2波主打「獨一無二ONLY YOU」 MV斥資500萬 首創「無重力拍攝法」!
世界級編舞家Shaun Evaristo授新舞藝 羅志祥:「感覺以前的『舞』功全廢!」
紫色助事業&桃花 羅志祥置身萬朵紫玫瑰花海:「希望找到獨一無二的有緣人!」
「亞洲舞王」羅志祥第8張個人專輯「獨一無二」下月(2月)18日即將發行,為了給予歌迷全新感受,新歌「獨一無二ONLY YOU」還特地邀請到曾經和「Vanessa Hudgens (「歌舞青春」女主角)」、「青山黛瑪」、「太陽」、「Big Bang」等巨星合作過的世界級編舞家「Shaun Evaristo」編排專輯同名單曲「獨一無二 ONLY YOU」的全新舞蹈,MV更是再度邀請到曾經合作過單曲「WOW」的金曲導演Jeff掌鏡拍攝,導演除了斥資500萬搭建復古歐風場景,更首創「無重力拍攝」,讓羅志祥在新歌MV中彷若置身「異度空間」!儘管事業成績亮眼,羅志祥日前再獲高人指點,紫色不僅可以幫助事業更上層樓:「紅的發紫」,更可以助長桃花,羅志祥:「希望快點找到獨一無二的有緣人!」
羅志祥為了新專輯第2波主打單曲「獨一無二ONLY YOU」,特別到了美國洛杉磯邀請曾經和<歌舞青春>女主角「Vanessa Hudgens 」、葛萊美提名歌手「Omarion」、「青山黛瑪」、「太陽」、「Big Bang」等知名藝人合作的世界級編舞家「Shaun Evaristo」編排全新舞蹈,而「Shaun Evaristo」則為了「亞洲舞王」全力以赴,針對羅志祥以往較為外放的舞蹈風格,特別設計出了剛中帶柔的全新舞步,沒想到這樣的轉變卻讓羅志祥大吃不消,導致他在學習新舞步的初期相當困擾,羅志祥:「一開始真的有點『武功全廢』的感覺!這一次的舞蹈風格和以前完全不一樣,就好像我以前是練『少林硬氣功』,這次卻要練『武當太極拳』,要懂得『以柔克剛、剛柔並濟』,很多力氣要HOLD在身體裡面,表演的時候卻要呈現出一種『悶炸』的力量,也因為這樣我有了很多全新的體會將放在新專輯的舞蹈裡!」而在「獨一無二ONLY YOU」的舞蹈POSE中,「Shaun Evaristo」也特別設計了節奏流暢的「U * 3」翻手舞,也將勢必再帶起一股潮仕系舞蹈旋風!
除了穿搭風格和舞蹈上有別於以往,這次「獨一無二ONLY YOU」MV的拍攝風格也特別不選擇使用大量後期製作的絢麗視覺效果,而是返樸歸真,用更純粹的方式展現男生對女生「一見傾心」的感受!羅志祥:「當男生喜歡一個女生的時候,內心就會失去平衡,雖然表面上還是要維持住,其實心理已經變成一種無重力的感覺而且不斷朝女生傾斜!」而為了符合羅志祥新專輯「潮仕系型男」的簡約魅力,導演除斥資500萬搭建出一整個歐式復古風的場景,為呈現歌詞意境中,男生愛慕女生那種翻覆、失重的感覺,劇組更開來巨型機具吊臂,將整個搭建好的歐風場景單邊懸吊在半空中,而羅志祥就在這樣的「無重力」狀態下拍攝,讓羅志祥彷彿跳出3維世界,身處在獨一無二的異度空間中!
除了新專輯發行在即,去年底發行的新書「羅輯課」也在排行榜上連續5周奪下冠軍,事業不斷衝出佳績,羅志祥日前更再獲高人指點,紫色不僅可以幫助事業更上層樓:「紅的發紫」,更可以助長桃花,而在拍攝新專輯預購封面時,工作人員也特地去訂購了1萬朵紫色的玫瑰,還搭起了花棚、花椅,讓羅志祥置身整個紫玫瑰花海中,而紫玫瑰除了較為稀有,冬天因為低溫的關係,還需要3天的時間讓花朵綻放,讓準備的工作人員傷透了腦筋,而拍攝時羅志祥則笑稱,「謝謝大家支持,不過我比較希望快點找到『獨一無二的有緣人』!」

Re: [01/26/2011-Yahoo] Show Lo's 8th Solo Album, New Song "Only You"
zomggg so excited!! it's like the cpop gods listened to my prayers or smth hahaha. i wanted show to come out with an image that's more classy, like wearing suits and tuxes, and it happened! i wanted show to come out with an MV that's not OTT with the effects, but just him dancing away, and it's happening!! omgg can't wait to see the new dance choreography!
i read some youtube comments saying that show was working with aimee lee lucas for the new album, who is another choreographer that works a lot with YG Entertainment, but i guess that rumor is false. im excited to see show doing a different dance style with shaun evaristo!

Thanks Stina!!!! this is literally what got me through the last few hours at work that it will be on when I got home
ok love the song (can not wait for the subbed version though ) the only thing that I found annoying is the lipsyncing throughout the whole thing. It never matched but idk if its because of how it was uploaded online. :shrugs: other than that it was awesome.
