Lo said the group will monitor audiences’ reactions closely but that they will no doubt continue producing music in Cantonese even as some members might produce solo songs in Mandarin. The group also has plans to launch a worldwide tour possibly next year, he said. Lui said their ambition of reviving Cantopop as Asia’s No. 1 music might sound “like daydreaming.” “But I think we should have that goal inside our hearts and we should try to do our best to pursue this dream,” he said.
