- "最後的擁抱" has the same melody as the Japanese song "MW ~Dear Mr. & Ms. Picaresque~" (MW ～Dear Mr. & Ms. ピカレスク～) by the Japanese group flumpool. Kazuki Sakai, a guitarist in flumpool, is credited as one of the producers for the song for Jason Chan.
Cultural Influence
- "You Deceive, I Deceive" has become one of the greatest hit of Jason Chan. After 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, some netizens from Mainland China were celebrating for the disaster in Japan. Some netizens in Hong Kong had created a transformative work (namely "Martyr in Fukushima", 福島烈士) based on this song, in the hope of fighting back the netizens from Mainland China, and to show support to the Japanese victims. The song was also supported by Sony Music Entertainment Hong Kong.[2]
