Chinese pop superstar Jay Chou is bringing a little magic into viewers’ lives with his Netflix show J-Style Trip.
Part travelogue, part magic performance, the show has Chou diving into adventures around the world with his A-lister friends.
“Magic is actually like music. It is a universal language,” Chou says.
The singer and his friends take their magic tricks everywhere – from the Centre Pompidou in Paris to a local food court in Singapore.


“I wanted to show the warmth and friendliness of people around the world, and how people connect with each other in different ways,” Chou says.
Each episode features a special guest, such as Taiwanese singer Jam Hsiao, Singaporean singer Wayne Lim Junjie, better known as JJ Lin, and Chinese pianist Lang Lang.
I know my fans are excited. Seems like everyone’s been waiting for a long time
Jay Chou, confirming he is working on a new album
Chou’s especially excited about Lang Lang’s upcoming appearance. “Lang Lang, in fact, is a very humorous and really fun person,” Chou says of the classical superstar, who has a whopping 15 million followers on his social media.
He couldn’t resist giving a sneak peek, revealing that Lang Lang will show up in hip-hop attire and fake moustache to surprise people.
Meanwhile, the singer-songwriter has another surprise in store for his fans.

“I haven’t released any albums for a very long time. That’s because I have been spending more time with my family,” says Chou, who got married in 2015 and has two children.
He recently updated his Instagram with a picture of a piano painted by German artist Albert Oehlen.
“I’ve started producing,” the caption said, with a piano emoji. Chou confirms that he’s working on new songs. “I know my fans are excited. Seems like everyone’s been waiting for a long time,” he says.
