Jay Chou is a popular Taiwanese musician, singer, and producer specializing in R&B and pop music. Jay Chou is known for combining both Chinese and Western musical styles along with his classical music background to produce a fresh sound that is quite unlike what is produced in mainstream Taiwanese pop. His unique lyrics touch on various controversial issues (for instance, domestic violence in 爸我回來了 "Dad I am Back"; eco-awareness in 梯田 "Rice Fields", the devastation of war in 止戰之殤 "Wounds of War" and reminds listeners to honor their mothers in 聽媽媽的話 in "Still Fantasy"). His unique sound has gained enormous recognition throughout Asia, most notably Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Japan. He is also very popular among Overseas Chinese in the United States, Australia and Canada.

Early Years
Jay Chou (Zhou Jie Lun) was born in Taiwan on January 18, 1979. At the tender age of three, he started to learn piano under constant supervision from his mom, Jay practiced piano diligently and eventually developed a love for the instrument and music. He went on to master a number of other instruments, including guitar, cello, jazz drum as well as the Chinese Dizi.

Jay's parents divorced when he was 13. Already a quiet boy to begin with, Jay grew even more secluded. He became independent rather quickly and was absorbed in his own music world. Whenever any musical ideas came to mind, he would jot them down. It wasn't before long he started writing his own songs.

Basketball was his other love and he often played with friends. In terms of school, Jay was not very strong academically, but he did manage to complete high school.


Road to Fame
By an interesting twist of fate, a schoolmate of Jay's signed up for a singing contest and wanted him to accompany her on the piano. The performance at the contest was by no means stunning, but somehow the host of the show, Jacky Wu, took notice of the musical score that Jay was playing from. And from then on, in the momentous year of 1998, the little boy who grew up in Linkou entered the entertainment industry primarily as a songwriter. Jay spent hours and hours on end in the studio, dreaming up melodies, and it soon became his second home. That was how he spent his first years in the industry. The songs he wrote for other artists were rejected fairly often at that time. After all, who was Jay Chou? No one really knew much about him. But over time, his songs were accepted and they paved the way for Jay's eventual successful musical career.

After working behind-the-scenes for some time, Jacky Wu was impressed with what Jay has to offer not only as a songwriter, but as a singer as well. And so, on November 1, 2000, he made his debut with the self-titled album Jay . His soulful voice and infectious tunes were well-received by listeners and “Jay Chou” soon became a household name. His unique musical style garnered him attention from fans and critics alike.

Music Career - The First Three Albums
Released on September 20, 2001, Jay's second musical effort Fantasy propelled him to stardom with numerous hits such as “Kai Bu Liao Kou”, “An Jing”, and “Shuang Jie Gun”, just to name a few. He earned many awards with this album, including five Golden Melody Awards . This was an astonishing feat by an artist who has just arrived on the scene for a short period of time. After the successes of his first two albums, Jay launched his first music concert series, known as the Fantasy Tour, showcasing his piano and cello skills in this concert, which was kept mainly within Asia .

After his first concert series, Jay released Eight Dimensions again wowing everyone with his sheer musical talent. After this album Jay went into his second tour again, this time known as The One concert tour, and this time, at a much larger scale as compared to the Fantasy tour. In The One concert, we have seen Jay grown as a live performer with his live singing skills, and even a few dance steps to make the entire concert successful.

In summer of 2003, Jay released his fourth studio album Ye Hui Mei , named after his mother, which show how much Jay treasures his mother. From that point onwards, it was clear that Jay had the plan of releasing one album annually. Jay fine-tunes each song to perfection and never fails to surprise and capture his audience with his innovative musical ideas. The growth from one album to the next has been evident to those who have traversed this journey of music with Jay.

His own unique Chinese R&B style is unparalleled by another and he continues to make breakthroughs as he takes risks in attempting new things. The way he intertwines Chinese and Western music makes his songs endearing to people both young and old. The fusion of the two cultures is not only fresh-sounding, but has also rarely been done by other musicians before. Together with his long time friend and lyricist Vincent Fang, Jay's compositions and Vincent's lyrics managed to reflect Jay's sensitivity to human emotions and the details of life. He manages to touch people's hearts with striking words as well as educate people's minds with important lessons.

Branching Off onto the Big Screen
After being in the entertainment industry for several years, Jay has started to branch off from music a bit and ventured into the realm of acting. An interesting thing to note is that a lot of his musical inspiration simply emerges from watching movies. You may have often found that his music gives very vibrant visual imagery and his music videos bring those images to life. It should come as no surprise that besides being a singer-songwriter, he has also dreamt of being a film director one day. In the movie “Hidden Track” (2003), Jay guest-starred as himself briefly and got a taste of what it is like to be part of a film. He also specially penned 2 songs for the movie released in the Hidden Track EP.

Back to His Roots
In summer 2004, Jay's much anticipated album Qi Li Xiang was released . Once again, he managed to turned heads of both the critics and fans. The production quality has been taken up a notch and his musical style has also matured significantly. Hence, it is not surprising that Jay has garnered more awards under his belt with this album. Jay also made it clear that he will continue to have at least one song on all his album with the Oriental style. With that album, Jay launched his next concert series known as the Incomparable to Jay concert series in that same year, which took Asia by storm, and even went as far as the United States in Los Angeles . The concert DVD and CD for his Taiwan Incomparable concert was released in early 2005.

The Big Breakthrough Role
Jay's first major movie role came in "Initial D" (2005) when he starred in the film directed by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, the same duo that directed the Infernal Affairs trilogy. In the movie, Jay acts as the child prodigy, Takumi Fujiwara, a high school student in Japan with a tattered childhood. He plays along side other movie A-listers such as Anthony Wong, Edison Chen and Shawn Yue. Jay also composed two songs for the movie. The film has won numerous awards in Hong Kong, and more importantly, Jay won the award for Best Newcomer for his role in the movie during the 42nd Golden Horse Awards and also during the 25 th Hong Kong Film Awards . Jay was visibly delighted during the Golden Horse Awards when he accepted his award, in which he said in his acceptance speech, “I never thought that what I've not won in the Golden Melody Awards, I've got it back here” making reference to the Golden Melody Awards, which has been shutting him out from the Best Male Singer category year after year.

The movie has kept Jay very busy in most of the year, due to all the filming and promotional works for the movie. The movie also allowed Jay to break into the Japanese market, when he subsequently released his first compilation album called Initial J in Japan only, with the theme songs of the Initial D movie included in that album.

The Beat Goes On
With Jay so busy with the movie, it is understandable that his album for 2005 was delayed by a few months, and was only released in November of 2005. The album was titled November's Chopin . The album was named it as such because of all the songs Jay used to practice on the piano when he was a child, it was Chopin's compositions left a deep-lasting impression on him. Also in this album, Jay openly made his disgust of the paparazzi known by personally writing and composing a song to ‘attack' the paparazzi by calling them dogs, the song is titled Si Mian Chu Ge, or “Besieged from All Sides”.

Jay also made another landmark in his 6 th album by directing his own music videos for some of the MVs of this album. At the same time, Jay began directing Music Videos for other artists as well.

Working with His Idol & Yet Another Screen Debut
In early 2006, Jay managed to work with his long time idol, Jet Li by composing the theme song and directing the MV for the movie, titled Fearless , the same title of the movie. This song was released in the Fearless EP , together with the music videos of all the songs off the November's Chopin album. Jay managed to get his next major movie role as the year went on. This time in a movie directed by the internationally acclaimed director Zhang Yimou, in the film “The City of Golden Armour ” (the official English title of the movie has not been announced). Jay received lots of praises from his co-stars Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li, as well as praises from Zhang Yimou himself. All of them were amazed with Jay's acting skills and his determination and drive when he works on the set. The movie is set to be released Christmas 2006, or early next year. Again, Jay composed the movie's ending theme song for the film.

Still Jay, Still Fantasy
With Jay being so busy pursuing acting, directing, and various endorsements, many fans worry that Jay may have given up on music. But Jay assured his fans that music will always be his first love and he had no intentions of letting it go. With that said, it has been confirmed that Jay will be the leading actor in the film "Slam Dunk" where Jay plays the role of a leading basketball star. The film is set to be released in March 2008. Fans hope he won't over exert himself in his many endeavors.
His 7th album was released on 8th September 2006, titled Still Fantasy , a throwback to his second album. As to what to expect from this album, fans can only wait eagerly in anticipation as all information relating to the album are kept tightly under wraps, but Jay will definitely not disappoint!


On The Run is Jay Chou's highly anticipated 8th album. It was set to be released on November 2, 2007, but was leaked to the Internet on October 31, 2007.This is the first album that Jay Chou released under his new record company JVR Music. The literal translation for the album is "I'm Very Busy".

Endorsements
In contrast to the United States where a negative connotation is placed on celebrities who endorse commercial products ("selling out"), in Asia, acquiring endorsement contracts with major brands are positive testaments of star-status. Chou has been a spokesperson for popular brands such as Pepsi (2002–2007), Panasonic (2001–2005), Motorola (since 2006), M-Zone/China Mobile (since 2003), Levi's (2004–2005), Deerhui (sporting goods, since 2003), and Metersbonwe (casual wear, since 2003), Colgate (2004–2005), popular computer game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (2002), science and nature magazine National Geographic (2005). To maximize the celebrity branding effect, advertisements are nearly always linked to his music and TV commercials are occasionally directed by him. He acted as the tourism ambassador for Malaysia in 2003.

i'm just wondering....is Jay really popular in chinese-speaking countries? how popular? why he's popular?
coz in my country, his cd's are not available

Jay pics!





shaolun, which country are you from? Jay is popular in any country that has a large chinese population

Congratulation on the Part 3!!! You guys rocks! Let's keep this thread alive n active.

P/S: Me also can't wait for the AngJay thread.

congrats on Jay's part 3 thread!!!

first time to post on Jay's thread but I've been a fan of his music since 2002! Been lost about his music years ago... but now I'm getting addicted with him again! I can hear his songs over and over again without getting tired of it!

He's such a great singer, composer and pianist! I even want to learn piano right now because of him. But I think it's too late for me! haha..

yeah.. Jay's popular I think in any chinese community no matter what country you are from.

I want to get his new album Capricorn but I'm still waiting coz he might release a gaiban version of it. will he release one or does he release gaiban version like other artists?

initial E- i'm from phil. Majority of the chinese here speaks 'hokkien/fookien?'(the dialect in fujian,china)... so i think that's the reason why his stuffs are not available here.

Maricon- "JayGela"...love it!

shaolun

we're from the same country! are you chinese too? I get my stuffs either online or abroad. It's hard to find it here. But they say you can find some in chinatown, I don't know if it's original or fake though. So I just buy online, best source! but a bit expensive. haha..

btrcup
Welcome to the thread! Oooh, now we have 3 people from Philliphines: You, Maricon, and shaolun!

And nope, i'm quite sure that there won't be a gaiban version. His previous albums didn't either

eh!!!!!!!

Initial E,Maricon, btrcup & shaolun you people forgot me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*pouts*

I'm a fei lu bin ren too!!!

just very busy (like my leading man) lol

and...hmmm, here in Davao City...if you go buy stuff sold in our Chinatown, the Chinese dudes/bosses/salespeople know Jay! ^-^ and at times, they play his songs in public...

the joy of knowing jay!!!!

jay is soooo hot (okay...that's random xD)

about AngJay...kinda ok for me but 5J (jay&i) is still the best

congratulations on part 3 guys!!!!!

shaolun/Jay's assistant #2

Yes yes, Jay is hot. Very hot.

thanks for the welcome!

and thanks for that album info. yeah... I noticed it too... jay doesn't release gaiban versions... it's good though, I'm having a tough time waiting for gaiban version for other artists. haha! better get his album now!

i'm chinese but my mandarin skills isn't that great, just average I guess.

hey, I saw Jay on that show over CTI channel awhile ago... I think he's a guest on Life Show. He talked about his parents... well, i don't know much about him. hihi! But he played Ting Ma Ma De Hua over piano and the host was the one singing. He's really good on piano.

Jay pics! (before i go to sleep...)


Is he saluting or what

Btrcup- yup i am chinese but not pure and my mandarin is a major disaster . We're same. I also get my stuffs either online or abroad. I bought my 'on the run' cd in china town, it is original but the packaging is not as good as the taiwan version. Is it better to buy in yesasia than eBay?

501stExile- haha! Yeah! “the joy of knowing jay”. And I believe that AngJay is good but you and Jay is still the best... remember to bring your leadingman in our country

Maricon- I thought you're from taiwan! Hehe yes, Jay's cd/dvd are available in chinatown but....the packaging

Initial E- haha. nice pics before going to bed.


To my kababayans: OMG!!!!!! I thought i was the only Jay lover from the philippines. Haha I'm so happy to know you people ...hmmm, did u guys know that Jay once appeared on our local channel? And his ye hui mei cd was also made available nationwide? ...

Grrrr. I really want the rubics cube! But sadly the seller would only accept paypal, and my card in not valid for paypal... where can i buy it without using paypal?

Initial E/Jay's wife
thanks for those nice pics!!!

shaolun/Jay's assistant #2
wow for sure one day Jay will be more popular in our country!i know his leading lady will do something about it hehehe..and i can't wait for the AngJay thread already!!!me too i don't understand much mandarin LOL...just a few!

BIG NEWS! BIG NEWS!

JAY CHOU WON THE 2008 WORLD MUSIC AWARD YESTERDAY (AGAIN) AS THE BEST-SELLING ARTIST CHINA. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME HE WIN THE AWARD. BEFORE THIS HE WON THE SAME AWARD IN THE YEAR 2004, 2006 AND 2007. CONGRATS JAY! YOU TOTALLY DESERVE IT!

^ REALLY? OMG
Thats great news!!! THANK YOU NOREEN!

Congratulations Jay!!!!
But did he go for the ceremony?

AH OMG I CANT BELIEVE WE ARE ON PART 3 ALREADY!!

SUPER-BIG HUG FOR Maricon for doing such an awesome topic-start!!
hehe, love the colourfulness

oh I am Jay's doctor? sure why not, that's a very important job afterall
hehe yes please call me Sarah, wishfulthinking is too long & annoying XD
I think I might change it soon LOL,

ah glad u guys are looking forward to AngJay thread,
I'm so busy with school & exams but I swear I'm almost done, so bear with me la
yesyes, we need some names! I have been racking my brain tryna think of some, but haven't come up with any good ones. AngJay is alright, but I want a really cute name!
HEEEELP

and yay reading above post, CONGRATS TO JAY!!

shaolun

I haven't tried on eBay. Yesasia is good enough but it takes so long before you get your stuff, and quite expensive. Haha! The best I've tried is over books.com.tw... if you can read chinese though. They are much faster and cheaper (for new items), you can get it in 3 days time.

You can buy at yesasia even without paypal, I know they still sell that preorder edition of Capricorn, w/ the rubix cube. I'm also thinking if I'll get that or I'll wait for December to come and let my dad buy it for me in HK (no rubix cube if that's the case). I'm confused. haha!

oh really Jay did appear on our local channel? didn't know that. How much are the chinese CDs in chinatown? what version are they selling if not the tw release? nice to see lots of filipinos here!

AND...

of course congratulations to Jay for winning!! No doubt about him winning the best-selling artist. I think he's the most popular taiwan singer out there...still!

Initial E

I think he didn't go for the award ceremony (even before this he never did).

The World Music Award website: http://www.worldmusicawards.com/

Click on the 2008 winners, then you will see Jay name among the list of winners.

noreen, Awww, I was hoping he did.. But looking at the awards list, I think i know why he didn't go. Practically everyone on the list is non-chinese.
But still, I'm very very happy he won

*points above* - Jay singing 'Qian Li Zhi Wai'

hehe Wyclef Jean & Wilber Pan were also at that event.



article talks about Wyclef Jean praising Jay Chou & Leehom Wang's talent & said they are "REAL ARTISTS"
He said, "They can incorporate Chinese culture into music, the music they create is real music."

Also, Jay wil be having a concert in KunMing on the 29th of this month:



wish I could go
hey have you guys ever been to any of Jay's concerts?

Noreen, thanks for the good news. Jay totally deserves it. Jay never likes to attend awards ceremony. Maybe he's still a low profile man, don't want to be in the limelight too much.

Initial E,

we still have high hopes on J-P relationship!! =) Actually all the while, I think Jay never forgets her and I don't know I have a thought that maybe Jay is still shy and feels that he is not good enough for Patty, coz' the papparazis are all out to ruin it, directly or indirectly. I really hope that they'd reconcile

Sarah
Noooo, i haven't been to any one of them. Boo hoo
But i'll be happy if I can even see him live... in person.
About your article, I'm on it!! But it's reallyyyy boring. Its all about clothes.. Nothing about Jay or Angela together.

Choccolatte
YES! I HOPE THEY RECONCILE TOO!!
Ever see the wo bu pei MV? It was so heart wrenching!! Can tell what the both of them went through...


EDIT: Woooo.. This thread turned red(hot topic) in less than one day!

noreen
thanks for the news!yay for Jay!!!congratulations to him,he deserves it!

Sarah/Jay's doctor
thanks hehehe LOL me too busy with exams...but still can't wait for AngJay's thread!!wait!!!I already knew what to name them on the description..remember they are both born on January,one day apart..we should call them "Capricorn Loveteam" LOL since Jay was born on Jan.18 while Angela was born on January 19!!!its fate!!! glad that you are almost done with it!or the Magician and His Princess...cute!

I dont know if you guys posted this pic before....i love the blue bear on the left side of his chest

Jay's fans in Chengdu, China, sending him off at the airport:



His manager, Yang Jun Rong!

Initial E/Jay's wife
thanks for the airport pics of Jay!!wow finally i see the pic of his manager LOL.. and Jay looks so cute and hot in his outfit!!hehehe..hope to see more pics from him soon....

congratulations to JAY!!!

btrcup- what's the payment method in yesasia? I really hope that they still have the pre-order version. Yup, the mv of the last track (haha i forgot the title) in his album ye hui mei was shown in MYX. That was about 4 years ago...I think majority of the cd's in chinatown are from mainland. No box and photo booklet. But they also sell some that are from taiwan (angela's Ang5.0 and cyndi's red cyndi). Cd's are worth 500-900 i think

maricon- "capricorn loveteam"

Hmmm why cant i see the pic that i posted?

GUYS!! HOORAY I AM FINISHED!!

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK:

Ah so friken cute!!

Hi all! I don't remember the last time I posted in a Jay thread here...maybe 3 or 4 years ago? lol But, I love Jay's music. He is the one artist I follow with news. Anyway, I was just wondering whether anyone here is going to be going to his concert at Mohegan Sun in December. It would be awesome if someone else was going also.

shaolun, I have no idea who won in 2005. I tried looking it up online, and they had the list on Wikipedia except they had everything except for China Ah.. could be Jolin though,

Moonlight, hallo, welcome to the thread!
OMG are u going to Jay's concert? AH so lucky!!
where is Mohegan Sun? LOL,

ah, this pic is so cute!! from snake dance MV, Jay looks so adorable!!

OMG You guys made it to part 3! Congrats! Maricon you did a great job on the opening.
I’ll so try my best to post often here!
I really have to say that Jay looks so weird in that outfit with the white hair! haha. I still love him anyway! Is this for his new movie? He is only going to make an appearance in it right?

YAY for Jay wining China’s Best Selling Artist for 3 consecutive years! Jay really does deserve to win since he is just AMAZING! I still have to watch his new mvs though. I’ll probably do that tomorrow since I have no school.

Moonlight, eh, yes, where is Mohegan Sun???
And you're so super lucky to get to go to Jay's concert! If possible please tell us what it was like!

I want to be the girl in jay's arms

Maaaaary!! haha HI! still remember me? XD

Yeah Jay with white hair is his new look for his movie "Beggar So"
I think he's second male lead?
Yeah make sure to watch his new MVs! They are pretty good!
I really love the Snake Dance one^^



Jay Chou and Nan Quan Ma Ma’s Lara have another duet – “Snake Dance”. This MV cost over a million dollars to produce, and Lara no only has a new mysterious feel to her voice but even her appearance has been transformed into a mature woman. Jay also showed off his world-class solo dance.

“Snake Dance” is the most mysterious and seductive song Jay has ever composed. Filled with the mysterious atmosphere of the Nile River, the lyricist Huang Jun Lang got his inspiration from an Egyptian man; a piper who loves snakes. During filming the MV, to give off a different feeling, a golden palace was constructed, and flames were lighted. Dancing was the most important aspect in this mysterious style, Jay’s solo unique dance gained enormous praise for being at a world-class level.

Jay is just TOO pro. Now his dancing has been praised for being at world-class level.
Man, this guy can do everything.

P.S E, FUDGE, I'm so jealous of that girl. humph

Initial E/Jay's wife
thanks for the pics..haha LOL you want to be with Jay since you're his wife!hahaha..

Sarah/Jay's doctor
haha,from the pics that Initial E posted..i'm thinking again the girl was Angela..LOL!!! i hope i can do manips LOL!!!and yes his dancing is very pro!!!world class!!!and I love his duet with Lara!!!

ROAR. Some... person is going around flaming Jay in the critics section. I'm so pissed off

Maricon Sometimes I don't dare to believe that i am his wife heh heh

Sarah: Actually i'm even more jealous of the girl dancing with Jay in the Snake Dance MV, haha!

E, are you talking about that person who just said maybe Jay took his donation back?
LOL, wth thats such a horrible thing to say to anyone,
Just ignore him la, he is just bashing for no reason at all,
I find it such a waste of time arguing with people who are purely just doing it to cause trouble.
We all know that Jay would NEVER do such thing like taking his money back

Maricon, imagine Angela instead of the girl here, she is probably the same size and stuff as Angela too haha,
Ah I would love to see some of ur manips hun, hehe
