^I was going to say the same thing
I can't believe that Jay Chou has so little fans of AHS...I mean, this is the very first thread for such a massive singer like him.
I love a lot of his albums but Common Jasmine Orange must be my favourite. I love the concept of the covers. They are really interesting and different for a singer to do.
In fact, this is what I love the most about him....his unique vision about the world transferred into his music.

yeah, there's actually so little Jay Chou fans here. In fact I'm kinda sorry not to notice this thread earlier, cos AHS has been more of a Jpop place for me and so I didn't bother about looking up at Cpop here.(Which is only Jay Chou for me btw) lol.

I love the fact that Jay is so talented in creating music, not just for himself but also for others. He's really a unique singer! I'm only not happy that he's actually not the top income rank for Taiwanese singers in 2013 and even behind Show Luo and Jolin Tsai!! -> http://jolinjeneration.canalblog.com.../28456883.html
I thought he should earn more than them!! Okay, maybe cos of not releasing an album last year.

Anyway, I don't really like the both of them, just happen to chance upon that Jolin website when searching for the ranking list. lol.

Artists in Taiwan nowadays don't get much money from album sales...
Jolin didn't release an album either in 2013 by the way. Most of their earnings come from events, Tours but most of all endorsements, not album sales.
Whether we like him or not, Show Luo getting first is not surprising at all, considering he's been #1 in popularity and sales for years now! He's earning more and more every year. As for Jolin, she remains the #1 solo female artist, so not surprising either. And she has a billion endorsements, that helps a lot.

Jay Chou's details for his earnings in 2013 if you're interested:
-NT$559,500,000 (14 092 911€ or $18,969,057)
-> 10 ads: NT$400,000,000
-> 37 events: NT$129,500,000
-> Movie: NT$30,000,000
As you can see most of his earnings come from endorsements!

^Wow really!! Thanks for the info! haha.

I think Jay should drop filming a movie. I dun think he can earn much from there and it incurs heavy cost.. Oh I remember he once filmed a drama is it? I think it's quite a horrible work cos just the first episode I dun feel like continuing watching it. I dun know what u guys think.

@ILoveGeniuses - forgot that we already had a thread ))

So, on December 26, 2014 Jay released his 13th studio album entitled Aiyo, Not Bad (simplified Chinese: 哎呦,不错哦; traditional Chinese: 哎呦,不錯哦)



The album contains 11 new songs (plus the promotional single ”Extra Large Shoes”) composed as usual by Jay himself, with the majority of lyrics being written by his fellow partner Vincent Fang. They make such a good pair musically.

1. "陽明山" (Yáng Míng Shān / Yang-Ming Mountain)
2. "竊愛" (Qiè Ài / Secret Love)
3. "算什麼男人" (Suàn Shén Me Nán Rén / What Kind of Man)
4. "天涯過客" (Tiān Yá Guò Kè / The Traveler)
5. "怎麼了 (feat. 袁詠琳)" (Zěn Me Le / What's Wrong; feat. Cindy Yen)
6. "一口氣全唸對" (Yì Kǒu Qì Quán Niàn Duì / Read them Out in One Breath)
7. "我要夏天" (Wǒ Yào Xià Tiān / I Want Summer; feat. Gary Yang)
8. "手寫的從前" (Shǒu Xiě De Cóng Qián / Handwritten Past)
9. "鞋子特大號" (Xié Zi Tè Dà Hào / Extra Large Shoes)
10. "聽爸爸的話" (Tīng Bà Ba De Huà / Listen to Dad)
11. "美人魚" (Měi Rén Yú / Mermaid)
12. "聽見下雨的聲音" (Tīng Jiàn Xià Yǔ Dè Shēng Yīn / Rhythm of the Rain)

Jay Chou’s baby’s name revealed – and why he no longer wants 5 kids!

The latest on Jay Chou and Hannah Quinlivan’s soon-to-pop baby, including the romantic reason behind the Taiwanese pop prince’s decision to lay off plans for future children


If Jay has his way, his kid would be called Jay Junior. And hey, he ain’t old, he’s a father, so call him Jielun Gege (“brother”), okay? Aw, adorable.

Here’s what else we know from Chairman Chou’s first sit-down interview since disclosing his Dad-to-be status. The Straits Times and other regional broadsheets report that when pressed for more intel on his imminent heir, the 36-year-old Mandopop monarch smirked and said: “I knew you guys would ask me this. Are you guys ready?” He then unfastened his jacket to show off a shirt emblazoned with an enormous question mark. Always the splashy showman, this one.

So, boy or girl? In another calculated tease, Jay says he’s been busy buying black-coloured #swag to go with his buddies’ gift of a baby-sized Batmobile – but insists his purchasing picks have nothing to do with the infant’s gender: “I like black, and also hope every child or grandchild has the same name, with the same sound but a different word.”

(Chinese entertainment portal Sina.com notes that his proposal to use homonyms was vetoed – not unwisely, we must add! – by Mrs Jay Chou for being way too “weird”.)

In a poignant peek at the man behind the sequined suits and sizzling showtunes, Jay admits that laying eyes upon the first ultrasound scan of his burgeoning baby was “10 times more moving than winning a Golden Melody Award.” Expect his next album to be a rave record of sorts: “I want to tape my child's heartbeat and make dance music."

And in the sweetest soundbite yet, Jay says he’s relinquished his dream of siring five kids – because he’s seen how pregnancy has taken a toll on model mummy Hannah Quinlivan: “I see how tired my wife is. We will just have enough children.” Aw, Jay Chou: Crooner, caring companion and #BestHusbandEver.”


source : http://www.herworldplus.com/celebs-m...r-wants-5-kids

I forgot to mention here that he.s expecting his first child this year. I.m really glad for him, he always seemed like a good familist.
It is also mentioned in the article that he.d like to do a dance record with his baby.s heartbeats printed on it. Cool idea Jay!

Jay Chou will release his 14th studio album entitled "Jay Chou's Bedtime Stories" on June 24, 2016.

"Mandopop Megastar Jay Chou has finally announced the upcoming release of his new album Jay Chou’s Bedtime Stories to the excitement of his many fans worldwide.

Jay Chou’s Bedtime Stories will be Chou’s 14th album, and will be released on the 24th of June and available for pre-order on the 8th of June.

Chou’s concept behind Jay Chou’s Bedtime Stories has much to do with the recent birth of his four month year old daughter Hathaway, inspiring Chou to use the album to mimic the concept of him telling a story through his music.

Not only will the album include “Past Life Lover”, a song dedicated to daughter Hathaway, but it will also include the theme song for Chou’s latest Hollywood flick, Now You See Me 2 which he wrote for the movie.

Just like many of Chou’s other albums, the packaging will be a step above the rest, with the entire album packaged as a story book with fairytale-like embossments across the front.

Some versions of the album also come with a USB in the shape of an owl which is also a musical box-like contraption! If the album is pre-ordered, it also comes with a nice pair of ear plugs in case the rooster crows a little too early for your liking some mornings."

"Past Life Lover" is the first single from "Jay Chou's Bedtime Stories". It has a really interesting history, being written and produced by Chou after a simple piano melody sung by his 4-months old daughter.

Bedtime Stories full mv
Second Promotional Single



Damn, the visuals are amazing! And the song is really fresh and has those little interesting details that makes his music unique. It seems like he's "back" and hopefully the full album won't disappoint me. His previous album is my least favourite from him so I'm glad right now.

Also, the mv reminds me of IU's You & I mv with all the fantasy theme going on.

This ost song is also going to be in the new album. It has a really catchy melody and I like the electro-ethnic fusion but somehow I don't think it fits the concept of the album.
