Singer Jay Chou will be releasing his new album "Capricorn" on the 9th of October, besides echoing his own star sign, it also shows his beloved magic, he appeared as a modern "smoky joker" look, mother Chou was amused looking at him, when he had free time she went up to take pictures with him.
Jay Chou, who has been concentrating on practising magic recently, created a new star sign with a tone and creativeness "Mo Jie Zuo", this is a mysterious star sign experts can't understand, sometimes it's the card Jack, sometimes it'll turn into the Joker, it transforms into different shapes and song styles; the poster for the new album especially used the idea of a card with the magician and joker facing opposite each other.
The record company expressed, as soon as the black Joker of spades was revealed, a lot of people thought it was very fascinating, it's a symbol of Jay Chou's limitless variety in his music, sometimes he's like a magician, he gives people a mysterious impression; sometimes the stuff he writes is very imaginative, like how a joker is funny.
Jay Chou has also written a "magic" song in his new album, there's also a song about the "joker", the two songs even reveal the exciting interaction between the magician and the joker, it's very dramatic.
He's taken 20 sets of pictures for his new album's pre-order events, he brings about a gorgeous and retro atmosphere, among them, in order to become a joker, he dusted himself and appeared as the "smoky joker", the audience were surprised.
