Jay Chou wrote the melody and lyrics for the new song "Superman Can't Fly" as well as producing it, in a lyrical style he slowly sings about his 10 year journey. In the lyrics he mentions the phenomenon he has brought to society and music, he mocks himself for becoming the representative of good people and good deeds, he needs the greater public to review him and then naturally he can bring out his unique Jay humour style and make people smile, Jay Chou expressed "Generally lyrics that have some intent on being critical use heavy beats or rapping to package it up, but I'm using a lyrical style to give everyone a new feeling!"

The name of the song "Superman Can't Fly", mocks Jay Chou who doesn't have any special abilities, he only has a dream and persistence to make music! Who could have thought his songs could become educational material, every move he makes has become examples for society, every one is helping him count up the ratings, box office and awards, his image, expression, words and actions, even the cars he drives, the apartments he lives in, or his albums, what isn't top? Has his movies set new high box office records? All of it has been dug up and examined closely, for instance the lyrics say "Mother says don't take things too much to heart, it's just a sense of duty that finds me, I can't sleep.", he can't help but sing "At the end of the day am I a singer-songwriter or a representative for good people and good deeds!" Jay Chou expressed it's inevitable that you'd feel tired of a life like this, you need space to breathe, but the lyrics also reveal at the same time "Don't ask me if I've cried before, because superman can't cry!" He still displays his manly personality.

Jay Chou made a Jay style superman look to go with his new song, he gelled his hair back, wore a leather coat and put on a pair of sunglasses, he's cool but has an enchanting temperament, the bat mobile he has collected has also made it's official appearance with him, "Superman" plus "Bat mobile" creates a mixed hero style, such creativity.

The MV for "Superman Can't Fly" narrates a moving story about a "ordinary hero", it talks about an ordinary guy who has a kind heart, everyday he does something good, until a day when he meets the leading female, an exciting interaction. But this time Jay Chou is not the main star of the MV, but instead he sings the lyrics that match up with this moving story, Jay Chou believes this MV can encourage many ordinary people to have the courage to become heroes, create unlimited possibilities for society and themselves.

Filial Jay Chou to invite Grandmother on stage

Jay Chou will be starting his concert tour in June in Taiwan. Tickets for the two shows were nearly sold out in just one day. The organizers are currently discussing the possibility of adding another show. It has also been reported that for the Shanghai and Beijing performances, Jay intends to have his maternal grandmother go on stage as a special guest.

According to Mainland reports, the fairly filial Jay Chou not only named one of his albums after his mother, he also had his maternal grandmother, who is an expert at international standard ballroom dancing, participate in one of his directed MVs. He says that everyday his grandmother is very generous in all aspects. With her straightforward looks, and kind and gentle face, she will be welcomed by fans. Furthermore, his grandmother can practically sing every one of his songs. That's why he invited her to be the special guest. However, his grandmother is fairly old, so the possibility and the method of her going on stage must be discussed with the staff.

In addition, this year is the 15th anniversary of the death of Teresa Teng. On May 14th, the "Teresa Teng Education Foundation" will hold a commemorative concert in Chengdu where Jay was invited to perform. Teresa Teng's third eldest brother, Deng Chang-Fu stated that despite Director Jay and Teresa Teng's style being very different from each other, when Jay received the foundation invitation, he immediately gave a straightforward agreement. He even expressed that when he was younger, he would frequently listen to her songs and liked them very much. However, the program for the performance remains highly classified. Neither JVR nor the organizers were willing to divulge any information.

Male singers avoid Jay Chou's May album release

Like an annual affair, Jay Chou's decision to release his new album this May has left other singers scurrying to change their own release dates.

As of now, two former Golden Melody best singers, Gary Chaw and Wang Leehom, have confirmed changes in the dates of release for their upcoming albums.

The only big-name male artistes slated to release their album in May are the ensemble rock group Superband, but insiders observed that they have a different target market.

Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou currently has nine albums to his name, and barring the first self-titled album, has been the biggest-selling artiste in Asia.

After focusing on film and TV production for more than a year, with the critically panned The Treasure Hunter and Pandamen, and a cameo in the Yuen Woo-ping wuxia biopic True Legend, the 31-year-old will return to his first love, starting with the May album followed by a concert tour in June.

Reports said his latest musical venture sees him experimenting with the Lady Gaga-inspired electronic genre. Trademark styles like soft rock and zhong guo feng will also feature.

When contacted, Rock Records said Gary's English album is postponed not as a response to the above news, but because studio recording has been delayed.

Leehom's latest album, originally scheduled to be released last month, has been pushed back till after summer.

But female singers, apparently, aren't worried about clashing head-on with the multi-platinum Jay. Delivering albums in the same month include Malaysian singer-songwriter Penny Tai and Taiwanese songbird Claire Kuo.

Jay Chou & Jolin Tsai's romance to hit the big screen

Taiwanese singer Jay Chou

Taiwanese pop stars and former couple Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai may have gone their separate ways four years ago, but the media just can’t seem to get enough of the pair. And now there’s even going to be a movie based on their love story.

Titled “Boy and Girl 3: Eternal Promise”, the film by the Beijing-based Starlight International Media is the latest instalment of the popular “Boy and Girl” drama and movie series. The story centres around the complex relationship between a showbiz couple, and also offers an insight into the complicated yet unique nature of the industry. Even the soundtrack appears to be tailor-made for both Chou and Tsai.

The theme song which has been penned, reminisces about the time after their split. It tells of how a couple return to their individual lives after their break up and find new love again.

Starlight CEO Song Guang Cheng announced that he plans to rope in Chou’s bosom buddy, Fang Wen Shan, to the production team. He learned about Fang’s interest in movie production when the pair met while filming another Starlight movie “Mulan”.

According to Song, acclaimed directors Jingle Ma and Stanley Kwan have been invited to helm the project and the cast include Taiwanese star Peter Ho and Korean actress Chae Lim, who were once romantically linked.
