The Official Jay Chou Thread

[jean-baptiste]

bumping.. (sorry >_<)

i just started his music like 2 weeks ago and he has quickly become one of my favorite artists.

i first heard November's Chopin' and i was hooked!! especially Fa Ru Xue/Hair Like Snow.

ive downloaded all his albums but i want to pace myself so i dont get bored of them quickly. so ive only heard his first 3 albums and his 5th one.

so is any news if there will be a new album this year?

[ILoveGeniuses]

I've loved Jay for quite awhile now. What I must admit is the first song i ever heard was Ni Ting De Dao(pardon my spelling) on some AMV on youtube. Loved the song, and at first all I liked was his light ballads, but after awhile I found I took right off with his others after hearing that song he did with Jet Li in that MV. November's Chopin is now my favorite album, but I have and love 'em all. He's just so amazingly talented.

Also, I read that he was going on a World Tour this year. A few years back he came to Toronto, Canada. Does anyone know if he's coming back or not again this year for his 10th Anniversary tour?

[Nackar_91]

I've only just started to listen to him but I'm already hooked. I've only listened to Capricorn so far, because I want to take it slow and only listen to something new once in a while. Mr. Magic is such an awesome track ... who told him it was a good idea to go yodeling? XD

Wow there's a jay thread? lol i forgot...

I loved that he performed with Jolin at his concert ♥

[ILoveGeniuses]

^which concert was that? I have his 2007 tour and Jolin wasnt in that. I totally love both of them though.

[pommy48]

[ILoveGeniuses]

^oh cool. happen to know if he'll be stopping into Toronto for the World Tour 2010 at all? Been desperate to know.

Omg Jay Chou Thread and I only found about it few seconds ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is my favourite artist along with Ayumi Hamasaki! My copy of Opus 12 is about to come in a few days, can't wait (my first Jay Chou album)!! Any fans here to talk???

[yoshino]

I didn't know this thread existed! lol. But no one is chatting here for years already. Omg.

What's his activity now? I love his Secret movie a lot. Jay Chou should come up with a similar movie again.

[Surreal17]

^Hmm...to be honest I didn't watch any of his movies yet. Shame on me! I was too focused on his music.
There are news that he's going to release his 13th untitled album this spring. Can't wait! This would be my first Jay Chou album since I became a fan last summer.
My favourites songs are East Wind Breaks, In The Name of The Father, Blacksmith of Milan, Piano Sorrow etc.. Omg, he has dozens of good songs!

[Surreal17]

My copy of Opus 12 (Deluxe Edition) arrived yesterday

[yoshino]

^Wow that's great! I didn't get that album though. lol. In fact I like his older works more. Every time when I go singing with my friends, we usually sing his old songs too. haha.

You're right..his old songs are very good but he also has nice new songs...in fact I like his new albums too )...and omg, the cover for Opus 12 is amazing..I noticed that he doesn't have many fans on AHS unfortunately

[Didz-19]

"Jay Chou to release new album in May, photo of recording in the studio late at night revealed

Last year Jay Chou didn't release an album because he was filming "RooFToP", before the New Year he finished two unusual style new songs, after re-energizing from the New Year holidays, he has found inspiration, he has already started work on the 10th, recording the new album, his good friend Xiao Mai took a photo of him and the producer Michael Lin working in the recording studio, they had serious focus work faces on, he put it online, caring fans noticed the photo was at 3:30 in the morning, their hearts ached, they all left messages hoping he will look after himself, he estimates he will complete the album in April and release in May."

I must partly agree with you. I love his albums up to On The Run era in 2007. All these albums from 2000 to 2007 are masterpieces, espacially Still Fantasy/Ye Hui Mei/November's Chopin albums. After that, I cannot really get into his music. There are a few good songs on every album but albums as such are too mediocre for me.

Me too!! I like his 1st to 5th album.But yet I didn't buy them. Lol. Cos I was into him in 2006. So I thought might as well buy his works from then on. At that time I really like November's chopin a lot!! I would sing almost all the songs in this album at Karaoke with my friends. haha.

Nice to know u, Surreal17. We can chat about Jay chou here and make this thread alive once more. haha.
