Admiring Eason: Sodagreen 蘇打綠

Taiwanese indie rock band Sodagreen 蘇打綠 did an interview with TVB8 and this is what they had to say about Eason Chan.

"[We] really like his music and voice. He treats the younger generation very well and takes care of us. We really look forward to performing with him one day because we not only like his voice and music, we also enjoy his on stage performances. When he's on stage he's very crazy and very interesting. We feel he is a superstar and hope we can work with him someday. We heard the last time he was in concert [Moving On Stage 1] he performed late into the night; the last time we performed in concert (at Taipei Stadium) we also performed late into the night, if we were to perform with him we could perform for one whole day."
