Like a sudden meteor shower: F4 makes surprise reunion at Mayday concert, delighting fans (VIDEO)
ET Today reported that last night was Mayday's Taipei Arena stop and it also became the first time F4 had reunited in 12 years.
More than 40,000 fans were treated to this unexpected show.
The last time the F4 members had appeared together was China's 2013 Spring Festival Gala.
Mayday had apparently attempted to invite the group as guests two years ago, but busy schedules prevented it from happening.
Besides Meteor Shower, F4 and Mayday also performed the latter's The Song of Laughter and Forgetting.

Will there be a possible group concert happening sometime? After the overwhelming social media response from delighted fans, perhaps the F4 members will be motivated to make it happen.
F4's Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu and Vic Chou were a boyband consisting of the lead actors from the popular Taiwanese TV drama series Meteor Garden that also helped launch the career of the late Barbie Hsu.
The show was a hit across Asia and heralded the beginning of idol drama shows.

Country singer Pat Green takes action after losing family members to Texas floods
Despite having suffered a personal loss, Pat Green is still thinking of others. The country singer, who lost his brother, sister-in-law and two nephews in the central Texas floods this month, has put together a relief concert to raise money for those impacted by the disaster. "Our targets are Kerr County relief, TEXSAR, and the Do It For Durrett [Foundation,]" Green told Fox News Digital hours before the concert. "And what I can say about Do it For Durrett is we can actually give straight to the children that have suffered this amazing loss, like my niece did." While he lost his brother John, his brother's wife and their two sons, his niece survived. "Here's to my brother, John, and his wife, Julie, and the two boys that were swept away. But I don't want to get too deep into that or I'll start crying, as I have been," Green said. In his grief, the "I Like Texas" singer said that he's mainly concerned about his parents. "You should never watch your children die, much less your grandchildren," he said. "It's beyond me, you know?" "You should never watch your children die, much less your grandchildren. It's beyond me, you know?" He said he has "good days and bad days" thinking about his family. "I was there when John came out, and he was carrying that blue goop, you know? And I was just like, 'That's my brother,'" the singer remembered of his younger brother's birth. WATCH: PAT GREEN OPENS UP ABOUT PUTTING TOGETHER TEXAS FLOOD RELIEF CONCERT WHILE GRIEVING He added, "But more than anything, I think about my mom and dad right now going through losing a child and grandchildren. And I mean, my loss is great as well, but I think mostly about them." Green said he only felt he could get through Wednesday night's concert by making a "small departure" from thinking about his grief and "turning on the personality that I've been given to be in music and be a person in the public." "Now that doesn't mean that I'm not going to lose my brains because it's pretty likely that I will," he admitted, "but that's why I asked two guys from the radio around here to do it [help him with the show], because at least they can talk to each other if I start to lose my senses." The fundraiser's lineup will include a bevy of country music stars like Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, John Pardi, Corey Kent, Casey Donahew, Josh Abbott, Ryan Bingham, Eli Young Band, Joe Nichols, Kaitlin Butts, Kevin Fowler, and Bob Schneider, among others. "I've never seen Texas not stand up for Texas," Green told Fox News Digital. "And to that end, I really didn't think that there would be anybody that wouldn't at least participate or answer the call. Everybody I asked made a video or is going to be online or going to be here tonight here at Globe Life [Stadium]. And I haven't said it yet, but thanks so much to the Texas Rangers for like, you know, putting their best foot forward and letting us accomplish, hopefully, what we're going to try to accomplish and raise a bunch of money." WATCH: PAT GREEN HAS 'GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS' AS HE GRIEVES LOSING FAMILY IN TEXAS FLOODS Green added that he's extremely grateful to the "people that work and live around me, for giving and sharing their time. They've been doing a wonderful, wonderful job." "There are people that are going out of their way right now," he added. "It's not just the people that have passed, it's the people that it has affected, you know, the mother-in-laws, the brother-in laws, the sisters, the aunts, the people who lived with these people day-to-day that have to right now come to grips with an enormous change that will grip your life. I'm just…gratitude. That's all I've got." The concert will be livestreamed on YouTube Wednesday, July 16 at 6:30pm local time from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Green said people can donate through and he has the information on his social media accounts as well. The flooding has killed more than 130 people in Texas.

Oasis fans STILL find clever way to see Heaton Park screens from outside after 'Gallagher Hill' closed off
Oasis fans STILL managed to see the screens from outside the huge Heaton Park gig on Wednesday night (July 16) - despite the 'Gallagher Hill' being closed by the council. At the weekend, ticketless fans joined forces at a space next to the concert area which has now been aptly named 'Gallagher Hill'. Crowds still managed were able to hear the on-stage action and catch glimpses of the band through trees. But those hoping for a similar experience on Wednesday were told not to come to the venue without a ticket, whilst Manchester Council also erected new fences blocking access to the hill spot. READ MORE: 'An email I got just before going to see Oasis' Heaton Park gig made me throw up' READ MORE: The seaside towns near Greater Manchester named among 'best in the UK' Stay connected with our City Life newsletter here Despite this, some fans still arrived at the north Manchester park, with some camping out and having picnics ahead of the show, and others scaling trees and fences in a bid to catch a glimpse of the show. But it seemed another group of hopefuls without tickets managed to score possibly the best view from outside - by climbing atop a wall on the outskirts of the park and using their mobile phones to zoom in on one of the stage screens to see it clearly. 'F***ing hell that's mega" one person said as a group of men scaled the fences and raised their arms above the barriers surrounding the stage area. Whilst fans were warned by Manchester Council not to head to Heaton Park if they didn't have a ticket, some people still gathered at the nearby 'Gallagher's Hill' despite it being fenced off to block off views of the stage. Large crowds also gathered and sat on walls and pavements along Bury Old Road, sitting on deck chairs, dancing and enjoying drinks outside while they sang along to the music echoing across the area. Join our Oasis WhatsApp group HERE Red flares were also let off in the grounds of Heaton Park, as other ticketless fans gathered to climb trees and the fences to enjoy the evening together.

Tetsuya Wakuda's Waku Ghin Headlines Singapore's Bucket-List Dining
Marinated botan ebi with uni and caviar is a signature dish at Waku Ghin. From spectacular street food to elite tasting-menu destinations, Singapore is full of bucket-list dining experiences. Chef Tetsuya Wakuda's Michelin-starred Marina Bay Sands restaurant Waku Ghin, with a cavalcade of luxury ingredients and thoughtful cooking at its chef's table, might be the pinnacle. Start at the bar and get a seasonal fruit cocktail or mocktail with Japanese musk melon, Thai golden mango or Malaysian passionfruit for a refreshing welcome. Then head into the intimate chef's table space for a meal that's truly all killer, no filler. There might be king crab and lobster and wagyu that are dramatically presented and then cooked in front of you. There might also be generous portions of bonito tataki, chutoro carpaccio and grilled nodoguro. There are no throwaway courses here. This is about a lot more than over-the-top ingredients. Wakuda is an ace at weaving in seasonal ingredients to build peak flavors as he showcases different cooking techniques. Nodoguro is accompanied by Okinawa spinach and sudachi to add brightness, acidity and earthiness. A pan-seared filet of ayu comes with a pomelo salad and water pepper vinaigrette for a little hit of sweetness and tartness. Game-changing little details abound. King crab is steamed and served with lemon-scented olive oil. Lobster is broiled with tarragon. Wagyu, served with fresh wasabi and citrus soy, is rolled to ensure every bite is optimal. Wakuda is at the Waku Ghin on the night we visit.. He discusses how everyone uses caviar now and how he's long looked for ways to layer caviar into dishes. It's about creating food that's simultaneously rarefied and balanced. Waku Ghin's signature dish of marinated botan ebi with uni and caviar tastes as revelatory as ever, and so does its cold capellini with uni, caviar and truffles. Sweetness, brininess, texture, temperature. Everything is carefully calibrated here, including the sake and wine pairings. Masuizumi Platinum Nama is a light and fruity junmai daiginjo that enhances the umami of fish. It's also an exclusive sake label created specifically for Wakuda. Clos du Mont-Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape, full-bodied and deeply French, is harmonious with shellfish and richly marbled beef. At Waku Ghin's chef's table, Japanese wagyu is cooked in front of guests. For dessert like an excellent dark chocolate souffle and beautiful petit fours, you're moved into a parlor. From there, you can see stores, including an Hermes boutique that actually has Birkins on display like museum pieces that you probably have no chance of purchasing. Luxury on top of luxury. That's the essence of Marina Bay Sands. Singapore contains multitudes, of course, so there are also no-frills bucket-list experiences. In Geylang, Sin Huat Eating House (a restaurant with no website and no printed menu) is where chef/owner Danny Lee personally cooks crab over mounds of bee hoon. It's a singular noodle dish, with every strand of the rice vermicelli soaking up crab juices and aromatics. Singaporean street-food guru KF Seetoh first took us here 15 years ago. Sin Huat (a favorite of everyone from Anthony Bourdain to Ferran Adria) hasn't lost a step since then. If you want more frills and thrills at dinner, chef Dave Pynt continues to work his live-fire magic at the world-renowned Burnt Ends. Pynt cooks whole fish and steaks over coals at his Michelin-starred destination. He celebrates his Australian roots by bringing in ingredients like marron, which is freshwater crayfish that resembles lobster but is a touch sweeter. He puts caviar over coarse beef tartare and also over smoked quail eggs. Pynt's famous bangers also include brioche toast topped with both crab and a generous dollop of uni. The dining room at Burnt Ends is moody and loud and fun as guests drink Old Fashioneds and big Australian reds. There are spit-roasted marshmallows for dessert. This is a total-package modern barbecue restaurant. Of course, you shouldn't visit Singapore without eating hawker-stand food. So this time around, Seetoh takes us to the Geylang Serai market and hawker center, which is chock-full of soul-warming Muslim food. We eat mutton biryani and stingray and beef rendang and prawn donuts and oxtail soup and a Malaysian take on Hainanese chicken. You can check out Seetoh's Makansutra site and e-book for an incomparable overview of Singapore's hawker stands and its gloriously diverse array of vendors. Seetoh has, of course. famously coined his own phrase for bucket-list meals. It's called 'die die must try.'
