Jay Chou looks handsome in the concert poster, the look has the feeling of someone coming from the future mixed in with beautiful elements from the ancient Chinese century, Jay Chou looks like he has time travelled and going forward! The stage is designed with the concepts of "a future world" and "spaceship", the audience will see the stage appear to emerge as a "spaceship", mixing in elements of "rock" and "the ancient Chinese century", to produce a powerful visual contrast, you could say it was a classic and brave stage style!

In the past Jay Chou has always held the first session of his concert in Taipei outside, for the first time he is going into the Taipei Arena, on the stage he will definitely turn the audience's senses upside down! So it's not just the stage design that is a first for the Taipei Arena, even the displays will be the biggest and fullest in the history of the Taipei Arena! The displays will be different from what the Taipei Arena has used in the past, the most that has been used is 1000 strips of LED, for Jay Chou's first time in the Taipei Arena he will make use of over 2000 strips of LED, the special thing is that in the action effects there will be a "360 floating solid render" and Mapping technique (the newest visual effect techniques), the "360 floating solid render" can simply be described as a solid rendering effect produced by projections from 4 sides and in 8 directions into the air! All the fans will not just see one dimension of the image, they can see 360 degrees of the image! It is something only audiences who go there themselves can experience, it will give your senses a new experience.

Jay Chou likes to have full control over music and the visuals, he has plenty of ideas for his large scale concert, besides preparing his new album, at the same time he is holding meetings everyday with workers about the content of the concert, Jay Chou: "At the Sprite press conference I've already played around with 4D, this time I'm going to play with something special, like the "360 floating solid render", is one such special visual effect. Also, the music instruments I needed to learn I have already learnt, this time I will pay more attention to the package of the stage." Having come out for 10 years he has amassed 10 albums, he has so many classic popular during his 10 years, during the meetings between Jay Chou and the workers, after a few rounds of discussions about the track list, Jay Chou confessed: "There's too many songs, when we were choosing songs it was vexing, it's good now it's sorted, they are songs everyone likes." Jay Chou has an endless amount of ideas, at present the workers are already focusing on planning and producing the contents of the performance.

In the past the "360 floating solid render" has only been used at small commercial press conferences because of the cost, it is the first concert to use this! In terms of lighting and displays they are using the leading complex synchronous techniques in Asia, it will make the whole performance surpass the world standard in visual stage sensory!
