00:00How do you feel about coming back to Dubai after 10 years?
00:30A lot of people ask us, isn't it boring playing these songs?
00:34No it's not, it's really truly great because people know them and they appreciate them
00:39and they sing along and they have a big party.
00:42We never figure out why, exactly why we are still popular in Asia.
00:48It must have something to do with feelings.
00:52And we believe that Asians like to listen to slow songs.
01:01Our songs are also being sung very much in the karaoke bars.
01:07There was a guy who told me that when he was young,
01:11the first record he gave to his girlfriend was a Michael Learns to Rock record.
01:15That has probably been back in the 90s.
01:17All these stories, they tell us that our music has had a really great impact on people.
01:23It's been a part of people's life and their emotions when they were younger.
01:31That's of course the reason why people keep listening to our music
01:34because it made a great impact at some time in people's life.
01:39And then we all know that if something has made a great impact,
01:43we keep that feeling inside of us.
01:46I think the Asian people, they just keep the feeling of our music inside of them.
01:51Still, anyway, after many years.
01:53I always mention the actor.
01:55And that's because, first of all, it was the first hit we had with this band.
02:00But also, it's still the most special composition, in my opinion.
02:05The way it is composed, it's a very special song.
02:09So I also always mention this song as kind of an ID song for this band.
02:16I think actually, it's always a bit difficult to pick your favorite,
02:22but actually I got a new favorite.
02:24It's Renovate My Life from the new album Scandinavia.
02:28If people want to know something about what it's like being Michael Learns to Rock,
02:35in 2013, they should listen to the song called Scandinavia on our new album
02:42because it's a very nice, little, simple song that tells the story of our life.
02:49We're going to Asia, touring, playing concerts and going back.
02:54So I like that song a lot.
02:56Hi, I'm Kor.
02:57I'm Yascha.
02:58And I'm Mikko.
02:59And you are watching GNTV.
03:02And we are Michael Learns to Rock!
