MandoPop singing sensation Jay Chou recently held his "Opus 2 World Tour" before 30,000 fans at the National Stadium singing his hit songs "Clear Day (Qing Tian)," "Silence (An Jing)" and "Common Jasmine Orange (Qi Li Xiang)."
Chou is getting married on Jan. 18, 2015 and despite the postponement of the concert's original date of Nov. 8, the fully loaded arena was highly unexpected even exclaiming that there were so many people during the first few songs of the evening.
The concert lasted up to three hours where it became a mass karaoke for the fans with Chou leading the crowd and did not lack in the effects and costume department. He underwent several costume changes and paired his performances with dramatic projections and pyrotechnics.
The 36-year-old singer's concert line-up is composed of 30 songs that includes tracks from his debut single "Adorable Lady (Ke Ai Nu Ren)" released when he was 14. His latest album "Aiyo Not Bad" was released just a few days before the event.
New songs were heard live for the first time such as "What Kind of Man (Suan Shen Me Nan Ren)," "Yang Ming Mountain (Yang Min Shan)" and "Listen to Father (Ting Ba Ba De Hua)."
Aside from his diverse skills in music from playing the piano and guitar, Chou is also known for displaying stuntman-worthy martial arts tricks especially in his song "Nunchucks (Shuang Jie Gun)" and upbeat yet light hearted moves in songs like "Ukulele (Wu Ke Li Li)" and "Sunshine Nerd (Yang Guang Zhai Nan)."
Aside from his solo acts, he also showed his cheeky side especially to his long-time collaborator and song-writer, Vincent Fang who was part of the audience.
Fan service was also not cut short as Chou was more than happy to flaunt his abs for his female fans and pick out three audience members from the crowd to sing along with him in a duet like "Can't Express Myself (Kai bu Liao Kou)" and "Stranded (Ge Qian)."
