March 6 was the Miss Tourism International Finals at Jiangsu.

Top Combine was invited to sing at the event. Seems like all went well. Ensheng’s mask is finally off, which is good to see that everything is alright with him now.

Just a little info, the Miss Tourism International event is one of the world’s five largest beauty events and Top Combine being invited to be a guest performer is a pretty big deal.

They sang Cotton Candy, Arrival, and Clown.
Fans loved it, of course ^^

The title says it all. I was browsing through the official website for Top Combine and was reading (or attempting) an article posted on March 4.

Pretty much the article stated that even though Top Combine’s EP is very popular and has sold many many albums after only being debuted in 2008, there are people out there who are selling pirated versions of the EP. Top Combine’s EP has two versions, Black and Gold. Apparently there are fake ones being sold, like a white version or one with a pink and black cover. Seraphims, along with Top Combine and their company, are trying to fight the piracy, but as you all know, that could be very hard. I believe this is mainly happening in China but you know, I wouldn’t be surprised if this happened any where else in the world. So just be careful when you purchase TC’s Arrival EP.

ALSO! Support Top Combine by actually purchasing their EP instead of downloading it from the internet…that’s illegal too.

Here are links from YesAsia! to purchase them.

新浪娱乐讯 出道不过半年，天娱传媒旗下偶像组合“中国第一励志天团”至上励合人气迅速持续上升，在社会上引来广泛关注。可与此同时，最让歌手深恶痛绝的盗版问题接踵而来。

盗版商猖獗 出版多种非法物

目前有关至上励合的正式出版物只有《降临》EP唱片一张，分为“炫金”和“炫黑”两个版本，尚未发行任何写真集。但是市面上却出现了多个版本的 盗版专辑。笔者在至上励合的贴吧和官方网页的置顶位置发现一个公告，内容为呼吁大家抵制盗版，支持正版。“由北京中体音像出版公司出版的白色封面的《至上 励合写真集》，由黑龙江文化电子音像出版社出版的粉色和黑色封面《至上励合降临》中，内附光盘系对由九州音像出版公司出版，星外星唱片发行的至上励合《降 临》EP唱片”均为盗版。

如此猖獗的盗版行为，让人们不得不深思中国文化产业市场中的弊端。但同时，也是至上励合的人气无限才引来盗版商如此的“青睐”。但是市场必定是 要规范的，是对不论歌手，经纪公司和正版出版单位的保护。对于这种侵权和盗版的行为，至上励合经纪公司天娱传媒表示了强烈的抗议和谴责，并对于侵权单位， 版权单位将诉诸法律解决。

歌迷表决心 将盗版打击到底

贴吧和官网中的置顶帖迅速在至上励合的歌迷中引起了热烈的回应和讨论，大家纷纷表示将打击盗版支持到底。至上励合的歌迷们都相当有法律意识，并 没有盲目的追随所有市面上贩售的至上励合出版物。而是能够分清是非，且用法律手段保护自己的偶像。由此可见，歌迷们的支持方式对于歌手来说，也是非常重要 的一环。呼吁大家购买正版，不仅是对于偶像正面的支持，也是对所有盗版商的有力打击。当大家都只购买正版出版物时，相信盗版商也不再有出头之日。这样净化 出版物市场和文化市场，势必是一个良性循环。

对于歌迷此举，至上励合的五位成员十分感激和感动，他们表示“至天使的行为非常有水准，不光是对组合的支持，也是对组合理念‘励’文化的支持”。据悉，至上励合的官方首本写真集目前已在拍摄筹备中，希望各位歌迷朋友期待他们的正版图书。

Feb 15th afternoon, popular group Top Combine joined Hunan TV’s program “Behind the story.” Although Jin Ensheng (Xiaowu) was injured, he was unaffected by the pains. During the filming process, Xiaowu’s straightforward, cute and humorour personality made the entire audience happy.

Xiaowu chosen to join Top Combine because he looks Chinese
When host He Jiong asked why Xiaowu was chosen to join Top Combine as its only Korean, Xiaowu’s surprising made everyone laugh nonstop.
Xiaowu said it was because he looks Chinese. He further added that because he looks Chinese, when he speaks Korean to other people, they would compliment on how well his Korean is.

Xiaowu works hard day and night, practicing until he cries
Because Xiaowu joined training later than the other four members of Top Combine, to make sure he is not behind, Xiaowu not only works hard in the day, but also during the night.

Zhang Yuan says that once, he woke up in the middle of the night and saw Xiaowu practicing outside. When everyone was having vocal lessons the next day, Xiaowu’s voice was already hoarse. Xiaowu also says that he once practiced dancing until he cried.

Xiaowu’s first impressions of the four other members
When host He Jiong asked about Xiaowu’s impressions to the four other members, Xiaowu’s answers were very frank and funny. He said that the first time he say Zhang Yuan, he thought he was fat and was shocked that such “fat person” can dance so well. His first impression of Li Mao was that he looked like an uncle. Xiaowu explained that it was because at the time, Li Mao was very wornout and had huge black circles around his eyes. Xiaowu then said that the first time he saw Liu Zhoucheng, he mistook him for a girl due to his long, red hair. When the mentioned Ma Xueyang, Xiaowu said that his first thought of Ma Xueyang was of how hot he was.
