J1 Live Concert (Chinese: J1演唱會 影音全記錄) is a live video album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, released by Sony BMG on September 23, 2005.[1] The album features live footage from Tsai's J1 World Tour concert, held on November 20, 2004, at Chungshan Soccer Stadium in Taipei, along with one new song.[2]

The album topped the weekly video album sales chart of G-Music in Taiwan for 12 consecutive weeks and was ranked number 1one on G-Music's 2005 annual video album sales chart.[3][4]

Background

[edit]

On July 8, 2004, Tsai announced that she would launch her first concert tour, the J1 World Tour, on August 7 at Hongkou Football Stadium in Shanghai, China.[5] On December 15, 2004, media reports revealed that she was planning to release a live video album for the tour, scheduled for release by the end of that year or early the next. The album was filmed using HDTV technology and sent to Japan for post-production. However, her joint performance with Jay Chou might not be included due to contractual disputes between the two parties.[6]

Release

[edit]
The album features Tsai's live performance at Chungshan Soccer Stadium in Taipei, Taiwan.

On September 13, 2005, Sony BMG announced that the live video album J1 Live Concert would be released on September 23.[7] The album features Tsai's live performance from the J1 World Tour concert held on November 20, 2004, at Chungshan Soccer Stadium in Taipei, along with one new song titled "Paradise".[8] It was the first live video album by a Chinese singer to be produced using HDTV and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound technology.[9] The song "Paradise" is a Chinese adaptation of Jem's "They" and was also used in a Motorola commercial.[2] On October 19, 2005, Tsai released the music video for "Paradise", co-directed by Marlboro Lai and Bill Chia.

On December 20, 2005, media reported that Tsai's contract with Sony BMG had actually expired in February of that year, but she had continued to actively support the label's promotional efforts despite not being under contract.[10]

Commercial performance

[edit]

The album topped the weekly video album sales charts of both G-Music and Five Music in Taiwan,[11][12] holding the number one position for 12 consecutive weeks on G-Music and 5 consecutive weeks on Five Music.[3][13] It was also ranked number one on Five Music's annual video album sales chart for 2005.[4]

Critical reception

[edit]

Shu Wa of Tencent Entertainment noted that it was relatively rare in the Taiwanese market for a live concert to be released as a physical album. Although the J1 Live Concert album includes only 16 tracks and does not present the full concert performance, the remaining songs were later included in subsequent compilation albums. Given that there were only two live shows at the time, this live album effectively catered to fans who were unable to attend in person. As a result, the incomplete tracklist did not negatively impact its commercial performance.[14]
