S.H.E's Ella made use of her annual leave and brought her father, mother and eldest sister to Tokyo for a 5-day trip, to let her parents have a comfortable holiday, Ella splashed out on a high-class hotel, flew business class, spending $200,000 on plane tickets and accommodation alone. During the trip she also paid for all the bills, the trip was entirely a "filial holiday".

Parents visited scenic spots, dutiful daughter became the tour guide

The entire trip was planned by Ella, she brought her parents to all the scenic spots including Tokyo Tower, Meiji Shrine, Hakoune Onsen Hot Spring, Mount Fuji etc, Ella who loved to go Japan said, "I've been to these places many times, but it's my parents' first visit there, so I became the competent tour guide."

Didn't bring tripod, took a family portrait without asking for help

On this rare occasion that her parents could go to Japan, Ella took pictures everywhere they went, she took on the role of official photographer, going the self-reliant route and completely not seeking help from passers-by. However as she was afraid her luggage would be too heavy, she did not bring her tripod along, as they wanted to take a family portrait whenever they came to a scenic spot, she had to go around looking for a suitable support to place her camera to complete the shoot, she laughed and said, "Over this trip, my self-photography skills have increased quite a bit!"

Appearing as herself without disguise, did not encounter any incidents

In front of Tokyo Tower, to get her parents and the Tower within the same frame, Ella totally discarded her star image, her whole person was sprawled on the ground, attracting the stares of passers-by, she joked, "They probably think I'm nuts!"

As she was travelling with her parents and sister, during the whole trip Ella didn't encounter any incidents, appearing as herself, she didn't even put on any form of disguise such as hats, sunglasses etc, in fact it was her parents and sister who wore shades, causing the crew to ask, "Just who is the real artiste here?"
