The theme of the 2025 Taipei New Year’s Party was “Move,” says the Department of Information and Tourism (DOIT), Taipei City Government. People in large numbers came to enjoy the shows at the four large Diversity Stages, and the main stage had a powerful super-cast of performers consisting of more than 15 groupings taking the stage in relay, stirring up the heat at the venue to an ever higher temperature. The opening ceremony saw baseball’s famed Dragon Beauties cheerleading squad and DJ RayRay team up with an exuberantly lively performance, the 14 dragon ladies lighting up the scene with their dynamic dance moves. The popular Papun Band performed a suite of their classic tunes, including I Only Wish the Most Mediocre Life, and collaborated with TRASH for the first time to present Yong Yuan Bu Hui Tou (“Never Look Back“). Continuing on its own, TRASH then brought more boiling rock energy to the stage with such hits as Heavyhearted Loser and LOVE.
In addition, Golden Melody queen Penny Tai touched the hearts of everyone in the audience with her soulful tunes, including What If We Still Stay Together and The Love You Want. Karencici and J.Sheon took turns on stage, and the two also combined to perform Hard to Say. The unique musical style of Faith Yang in Stars and other melodies brought passionate applause, and Sam Lee performed his classic love songs Hands Off and Devotion Love, one and all in the audience singing along in unison, enraptured. The group Cosmos People served up a riveting set pulsating with electric energy, delivering Ocean, Let’s Go Running Together, and other hits. HRC BEAST CREW SHADOW, the champion dance group of the city’s 2024 Metro Street Dance Competition, Olympic national breakdance athlete Sun Chen, and the City4 dance group also won acclaim from the audience with their scintillating dance routines
At the celebration’s mid-point a big specially planned surprise was unveiled, bringing delight and amazement to the audience, with singer YELLOW first conducting a video chat with Rozette, a popular Canadian vocal teacher, and then Rozette making a surprise appearance on the stage and the duo singing Shallow. Next, the Korean girl group Apink provided an exclusive Taipei performance, including Mr. Chu and LUV, of a number of their popular tracks, their charming repertoire inspiring ongoing audience screaming and shouting. Heavyweight headliner ENERGY, returning this year, performed Let Go, Friday Night, and other classics, which not only awakened classic memories but also ignited the party atmosphere to the highest temperature!
For the countdown to midnight, Taipei City Mayor Chiang Wan-an joined hands with four outstanding Taiwanese athletes, 2024 Paris Olympics badminton gold medalist Wang Chi-lin and boxing gold medalist Lin Yu-ting along with Premier12 baseball gold medalists Lee Kai-wei and Chen Kuan-wei from the Wei Chuan Dragons, with mascots Strong and Bravo the Bear also joining in. Mayor Chiang announced delivered a speech wishing everyone a Happy New Year, embracing the spirit of 2025 with “Everything is wonderful” Together with both online and offline audiences, he counted down to welcome the arrival of the new year.
The two much anticipated post-fireworks heavyweight finale performers were set to take the stage in turn, bringing the party atmosphere to repeated new climaxes. Gigi Leung recreated her performance of the opening song for her Taipei Arena concert last year, Spaghetti, creating a sense of boundless imagination and New Year hope, and followed this with tunes such as Coward that sketched out memories and evoked the good times of the past for all in attendance. The hot group 831 then hit the stage, powering out heart-thumping titles including East Side and Cheers!, the perfect conclusion for the 2025 Taipei New Year’s Party.
DOIT specially points out that this year’s gala once again demonstrated the cross-unit cooperation and execution capabilities of the Taipei City Government team, including Department of Health(DOH)、Taipei Metro Corporation(TMC)、Department of Transportation(DOT)、Police Department(PD)、Department of Environmental Protection(DEP)、Department of Social Welfare(DSW)、Fire Department(FD)、Department of Information and Tourism(DOIT), with manpower of 7,500 mobilized to ensure the smooth staging of the event, strengthening traffic dispersion and on-site order and maintenance, garbage removal and environmental restoration in peripheral areas, etc. This enabled full crowd dispersal to be completed before
2:10 o’clock in the morning after the New Year’s Party activities, and the systematic restoration of the original order and appearance of the city.

Zoho Corporation Surpasses One Million Paying Organisations as Customers
On its 30th Anniversary, Zoho Corporation exceeds milestone of 150 million users
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 March 2026 – Zoho Corporation, a global technology company, today marked its 30th anniversary with the announcement of two major company milestones. Zoho Corporation, consisting of Zoho, ManageEngine, Qntrl, and TrainerCentral, is now a trusted technology provider to more than one million paying customers and more than 150 million users globally. Today’s announcement follows significant YoY customer (32%) and revenue (20%) growth in 2025.
Zoho Corporation would foremost like to thank every one of its customers, big and small, whose loyalty and support has had an outsized impact on the company’s foundation, growth, and future success. To honor that commitment, Zoho Corporation is shining a light on a few dedicated customers, whose success it is proud to have helped support.
“‘What made us stick with Zoho for so long is consistency and trust. Zoho continues to invest in its platform with a clear long-term vision, not short-term trends. The products are stable, well integrated, and designed to support real business needs, which allows us to confidently recommend Zoho to our clients year after year,” said Alexon Garcia, Technical Delivery Manager, Devtac, Philippines. “As Zoho turns 30, we would like to thank the people building the products. Your focus on privacy, value, and practical innovation truly sets Zoho apart in the market. It shows that the company is built for the long run and not driven by hype.”
“For almost a decade of using Zoho Desk and Zoho SalesIQ, we have seen a huge improvement in the way we handle tickets and access reports, enabling our team to make faster, data-driven decisions. Over time, Zoho has naturally become an integral part of our daily operations because it is easy to use, reasonably priced, and continues to evolve based on real feedback from its users. A big thank you to the Zoho team for building such a powerful SaaS platform—we look forward to continuing to grow together in the years to come,” said Wildan Zubaidi, VP of Customer Experience, PT Biznet Gio Nusantara, Indonesia.
“During periods of rapid business expansion and operational complexity, particularly when organizations needed to move from fragmented systems to integrated digital platforms, Zoho played a critical role. Solutions such as Zoho CRM, Creator, Analytics, and Finance applications enabled faster decision-making, improved visibility, and operational resilience, especially during times of disruption and digital transformation. These moments reinforced Zoho’s value not just as a software provider, but as a strategic enabler,” said Henry Soo, Founder, DataDevelop Consulting Ltd., Hong Kong.
Recent customers to Zoho Corporation include: In the United States, Rapid Response Monitoring and Synergy Home Care; In India, Mercedes-Benz India, Force Motors, Joyalukkas and Union Bank of India; in the UK/European Union, Flora Food Group, Handl Tyrol and Atout France; in Middle East-Africa, Al-Ahli Saudi FC and Al Qadsiah FC; in LATAM, Grupo Gonher; and in Brazil, Creditas and Editora Globo.
“Being bootstrapped, private, and built entirely in-house makes Zoho an outlier among competitors,” says Sridhar Vembu, Co-founder and Chief Scientist, Zoho Corporation. “But vendors don’t need our help, businesses do, which is why delivering customer value has, for 30 years, been Zoho Corporation’s North Star. Before any innovation, strategy, or guiding principle becomes a product, pivot, or policy, it must first affirm the question, ‘Will this help businesses?’ We are incredibly grateful that companies around the world have responded so positively to our customer-first approach over the past three decades, and will continue to meet the evolving needs of businesses with powerful, scalable, and affordable solutions.”
