Please someone explain to me...

O_O mmm then I think it is not cancelled but postponed? :-p

You might try posting in the Shanghai concert section of this forum. Copy and paste the message in the original text. That way, you might get a better translation.

Don't we have a Chinese translator kindly translating, in that section?

Xanctuary13: Why don't you post the original content of the e-mail in the Shanghai sub-forum? I will translate it for you there. :)

perhaps it's related to this ?

I didn't know this. Is it really that bad? What Anti-Japanese sentiment is going on in China?

i think it is, becos the japanese pavillion in china expo didn't raise their national flag on the expo

we need chinese translator please?

I really hope the band and crew wouldn't be in a situation where they were facing this kind of conflict. Especially since they represent unity, not divisiveness. I hope they travel safely.


Now, if it were anti-vampyre sentiments,...

On the lighter side, there's this:

A comment to the article linked above, translated from the Chinese:

Quote:The real conversation should be like this:
China: Why don’t you raise your flag in front of the pavilion?
Japan: We want to give consideration to antt-Japanese sentiment in China.
China: What?
Japan: What?

...or to quote another commentator, "I'm confused."

I got this from the Chinese website (http://hi.baidu.com/letus2ch/blog/item/d...12297.html) which was mentioned in the ChinaHush article:

美国在全世界到处杀戮
但是每次都毫不犹豫地升起他们的星条旗。

Which means

Even though America is everywhere with their killings
The Americans still do not hesitate to raise their flag of stars and stripes.

Coming from me who is 100% Chinese, I feel the above comment is REALLY sensitive and should not be said loosely. By the way, I am not from China.

Oh and then there's this:

虽说我不是中国人，
但是中国人肯定不会觉得，“日本在照顾我们的心情”。
而是会想，“看吧！他们果然因为有见不得人的东西，所以才没敢升起太阳旗吧”

Even though I am not from China,
The Chinese definitely are not thinking, "The Japanese take our feelings into consideration."
Or rather, "Look! They actually refuse to raise the flag of the rising sun because they have skeletons in their closet."

I received the same mail, here it is the original in chinese:

紧急通知

昨日接上级有关部门通知，由于相关部门的政策规定，本次演唱会发票日期将统一推迟至6月26日进行发放。对此造成的不便我们深感抱歉，谢谢广大歌迷朋友的理解和支持。

我们将在6月26日-6月28日期间寄出您的门票，敬请查收。
