Beautiful Song!! And his voice shows a lot of emotion. It's a huge step from back in the days of Simple Love.

I am not completely satsified with this album, I thought Jay would do something to innovate what he already does but I felt he lacked new material. It sounds like his usual style yet its not as passionate sounding? I felt he was holding back somehow...I'm torn I guess..I love classic Jay style yet new tunes...

But I am sure to be addicted to the album in about a day so I guess I can't complain.

Is it just me, or has Jay's singing improved a lot? He sings sooo much clearer now; I can actually understand what he's saying!! I'm proud of him!!
Let's commit the perfect crime. I'll steal your heart. You steal mine.

10 tracks makes baby jesus cry.

He better make a video for each song. That's what made me like all of November Chopin.

he's made a video for ALL of his songs except for 2 from his jay album (i think). i know one of hte songs was 'old indian bird' or whatever (didn't like that song anyways) but jay has ALWAYS made a mv for all of his songs

Well, I listened to his whole album. Actually I've listened to it a few times already.
I really, really like 聽媽媽的話....man, that song is on repeat now.

The rest of his album is pretty good. It's nothing truly spectacular, but it's definitely stuff I will listen to over again. It's just that 聽媽媽的話 was the song that really stood out and sounded amazing to me.

I love his new album, but I'm getting the feeling that he's becoming a lot more like David Tao.

^ I think it's because the girl had the chance to go overseas and develop her performing talents and probably make it big, so Jay, who's only a small worker doing odd jobs at the threater, feels inferior and don't want to hinder her future(when he sents her away).

Hmmm...I just downloaded the album. It was really good, I liked quite a few of the tracks. My favorite was Listen to Your Mommy.

So much better than November Chopin. That was my first Jay Album and I was like, this is what people go gaga over? But now I understand. biggrin.gif

Fei Yu Qing is like...every old school Chinese singer. They never get any respect and now one gets featured in a Jay Chou MV and it's like, all of a sudden it's so good? Damn, they've been doing this for years. What do they need to get respect? Collabs with all the pop singers?

^ Actually in Taiwan, he's always been VERY popular and respected. Younger people still know who he is, not just because of Qian Li Zhi Wai.

Jay Creates a New Type of Music With a Mystery Theme

Jay, who likes to continuously surprise his fans, created a new type of music involving mysteries. His new album "Still Fantasy's" second theme song "Twilight's Chapter 7" is set up as an elegant mystery hinting an analogy with the well known Sherlock Holmes story. Putting the MV in Jay's hands, it became a murder mystery involving blue roses. He plays the role of a director, Nan Quan Mama's Yu Hao acts as his assistant, and Devon plays the role of the suspect.

Under Director Zhou's orders "To make it feel like a detective story, it has to be filmed in England," a large group of staff went all the way to Sherlock Holmes' country, England, in March to film the MV. Jay also made a 7 minute MV movie version for this movie. It is included in the DVD that comes with his new album, "Still Fantasy," that will be released tomorrow.

The whole song is a mystery written in the form of a diary. Jay proudly said: "(You) probably haven't heard of people writing rap songs out of mysteries yet. I can!" Jay wrote, produced, sang, acted, scripted, and directed this MV. These roles allowed Jay to take a big step towards his road to becoming a director.

The whole MV was filmed in England for 4 days at 7 places and cost 4 million. This excludes closing the whole library for filming purposes, renting a race car, borrowing an English police car, and using at least 20 part time actors in England. Putting this much money in a MV is rare in MV history.

In the MV, Jay wears a trench coat and is styled as a detective and acts with Yu Hao and Devon. Yu Hao followed the story's need to hit Jay's head really hard with a helmet. Doing this in front of Jay's massive group of fans scared him so much that he turned around to the camera and apologized to the fans prior to hitting Jay. As for poor Devon, he had to run, jump off walls, and fall under Jay's instructions. He was so mad that he kept mumbling: "I'm always the one that's taking risks, I quit!"

So if I ask Taiwanese kids if they know him, listen to his music, more than 80% will say yes?
