After entering show business 35 years ago, singer Delphine Chin, also known as WaWa, is only now putting on her first major solo concert. The Completely Love concert is scheduled for Sept. 2 at Taipei International Convention Center. Ticket sales began in June, with tickets available at Market Net, 7-Eleven ibon and FamilyMart FamiPort.
Chin was the lead vocalist of pop band Chiu Chiu. Established in 1981, Chiu Chiu represented a transitional period in Taiwan’s music history, in which people turned from “campus folk songs” to “modern pop music.”
Chiu Chiu was founded by leading song writer Chiu Chen, who arrived in the folk-song era. Their most famous songs include “It’s Tonight,” “Fool on the Embankment,” and “Why I’ve a Dream of Him?” It had made a big impact on the music industry at that time.

Chin’s other hit, “I Came Over the Ocean to See You,” will be adapted into a Chinese-language musical this year. Based on a true story, the musical tells of a long-distance romance across the Taiwan Strait.
