Jay Chou: His Royal DIAOness —> OPUS JAY in Shanghai!

HERE GOES THE SETLIST:

The concert started off with a video footage and exploded in his rendition of Exclamation Mark. Jay had already promised that he would show off his 8-pack in this concert and he did not disappoint! (He is a man of his word, as we know!) 

Prepare your senses for a feast and let me reassure you: he is HAWT to the MAX!!! I was breathless (and still am, whilst writing this!) and you’ll soon see why!

Dragon Fist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mkokXwBXaE&list=PLbHLPahX3mJ5NyZURehLYjDrdKyOzpqnc

He spoke to the audience, saying:

“Thank you everyone for attending the first night of my concert! No matter what happens today, I will do my best performance. Actually, I have already been here in Shanghai since the 13th and have rehearsed for 3 days so that counts as me already holding 3 concerts. But it was only me listening to my own concert and I think that concerts need to be shared with my fans. Actually, while I was rehearsing, there was no one offstage but I could feel your presence, so I want to thank all my fans who have never left or gave up on me. This is my song for you…Final Battle.”

The next set consisted of songs from Tian Tai, with the requisite backdrop, performed in the style of a live musical! It was really captivating and once again, something different from previous concerts and gosh, I’m now even more excited for the movie as the music is really good!

A Larger Cello also figured here.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bhMLV3qILw&list=PLbHLPahX3mJ5NyZURehLYjDrdKyOzpqnc&index=6

He played guitar for an accoustic and unplugged medley of songs….just listen and enjoy! There were some unexpected numbers! He was wearing shirt and suspenders here, a la Incomparable concert and I just love his pink shirt!

Okay….this next set is going to KILL you! His performance of Sign Language….omg…I was and still am breathless watching this…so beautifully and creatively done in 4D and special effects which just BOWLED the audience (and me!) totally over….omg….watch it and faint! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!! 

(Audio quality is not that great but just watching him is enough!)

Another guitar set with him looking so snazzy in shiny blue pants:

Secret! 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFog2pjSKsE&list=PLbHLPahX3mJ5NyZURehLYjDrdKyOzpqnc

All The Way North, with two fancams. The first one has better visual but poorer audio; the second is vice versa:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYxOf0dW8lM&list=PLbHLPahX3mJ5NyZURehLYjDrdKyOzpqnc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6qTWFjNrDI&list=PLbHLPahX3mJ5NyZURehLYjDrdKyOzpqnc

I think he went into Nunchucks after that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKjdKhERBP0&list=PLbHLPahX3mJ5NyZURehLYjDrdKyOzpqnc

image

Ukulele with giant balls! (think this was an encore): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHsMpzpuA8g&list=PLbHLPahX3mJ5NyZURehLYjDrdKyOzpqnc

image

image

Another encore…Qi Li Xiang!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zynymd7geU&list=PLbHLPahX3mJ5NyZURehLYjDrdKyOzpqnc

image

image

image

His third encore cost him, though, ‘cos he went beyond the stipulated time limit and was fined! He also confirmed that he would pay for some broken chairs, no doubt caused by enthusiastic fans stomping or climbing on them!

He sang Wu Ding (Rooftop) for the second night’s encore!

——Credits to my friend Janelene!! Nice job on compiling vids, pics and everything :)

Thoughts on OPUS JAY

WOW! JUST. WOW!!!!!

Jay Chou does it again!
There were so many new and interesting aspects in this concert that my mind is still boggled!
And gosh…he looked SOOOOOO HANDSOME!!!!!!!!!  *le swoon*

Most standout aspects?

1. His FABULOUS ABS!!!
2. The Rooftop musical
3. The unplugged medley of his songs
4. The acapella singing
5. The cute intro to Gong Gong 

And of course, the BEST, the most DIAO (overshadowing even his abs) was….

SIGN LANGUAGE!!!!!

His smooth moves, especially in the beginning…loved the way he pushed against the piano and then hopped on and off soooo coolly! *faint*
And the tracing out of the J*heart*U….omg…that just took my breath away!
Along with the shadow clones effect and more dancing….gosh, his use of 4D technology blew me away!
Loved his suit too!

Sorry for my raving…but that’s what fangirls do, right??

And of course, this beautiful piece of equipment will be here too!
