Capricorn (Chinese: 魔杰座; pinyin: Mó jié zuò) is the ninth studio album by Taiwanese recording artist Jay Chou, released on 14 October 2008, by JVR Music and Sony BMG.
Similar to Chou's preceding albums such as November's Chopin and On the Run!, the tracks from Capricorn were prematurely leaked on various websites prior to the official release.
It depicts the plight of contemporary city dwellers, burdened by societal and life pressures, and their growing desire to retreat to a simpler, rural existence.
Chou intended to illustrate a idyllic countryside setting, running barefoot through fields, stealing fruits, and carefree childhood play.
[6][7] The production of the music videos for "Magician" and “Uncle Jocker" involved over 15 dancers including dance troupes, jazz musicians, and stunt performers from various countries such as Russia.
Behind-the-scenes footage of "The Promised Love" depicts Chou inviting actress Andrea Chen to star as the female lead.
Additionally, a Pagani Zonda F, a high-performance sports car also known as "Ghost Son", was utilized for filming sequences in the city’s historic streets.
The set utilized a circular clock, a grand hall, and an elongated corridor that fused the aesthetics of a city with classical Gothic architecture.
