Jay Chou

(Jay Chou and some really pretty girl beside him)

If you travel to Mainland China or Taiwan, you're probably going to see Jay Chou in a: Movie, video, commercial, poster, or hear from him in a song. That pretty much wraps up his popularity in China/Asia in a sentence.

Jay Chou is also featured in the Initial D series:




For those of you who don't know what the Initial D series is about, it's based off of a Japanese anime/manga/game that is highly popular in the arcades regarding street-racing. It's like a Japanese version of "The Fast and the Furious" combined into an Asian sit-com. Pretty complicated huh? Well that's Initial D.~ As you'll notice throughout the video, it seems to portray a Japanese-style drama with Chinese/Taiwanese/non-Japanese Asians. What I love so much about this series is the fact that only Jay Chou and Edison Chen could probably pull off such a make-believable story with their "awesome-driving-skills."

These guys basically race as if it were the equivalent of fighting. That is, they race on the most dangerous courses usually on mountain roads, rural areas, places that most people wouldn't drive with the most decked-out cars that you can imagine possible. No wonder so many people love this manga.

Jay Chou also teams up with a variety of singers:
