The tour began on August 7, 2004, at Hongkou Football Stadium in Shanghai, China,[1] and concluded on April 22, 2006, at Bren Events Center in Irvine, United States.

[8] On July 8, 2004, Tsai revealed that the J1 World Tour would officially begin on August 7, 2004, at the Hongkou Football Stadium in Shanghai, China.

"[9] The Shanghai concert's stage was designed around the concept of a "Moonlight Treasure Box", with props, costumes, dancers, and musicians contributing to a total production cost of NT$30 million.

These included a "giant crystal chandelier" (costing HK$300,000), an "LED calculator color-changing elevator" (costing HK$220,000) that shifted colors in sync with the music, a "hydraulic fantasy shell" that allowed Tsai to transform into a "mermaid", a "high-altitude swing" that could elevate Tsai to three stories high, and a "360-degree spherical movie projector" capable of projecting animations and images onto a spherical screen.

To ensure perfect sound quality, the organizers imported the latest headset microphones from the United States, known for their precision in capturing audio.

[12][13] For the Beijing concert, the stage was designed around the concept of a "Diamond Base", featuring a central massive crystal chandelier that allowed Tsai to descend from the sky.

In addition to songs from her Sony era, such as "36 Tricks of Love", "Pirates", and "Fake Confess", Tsai also performed tracks from her Universal period.

[15] The Taipei concert opened with the sound of drumming, as Tsai, dressed in a Swarovski crystal outfit, slowly rose on the secondary stage in a dramatic pose with her right leg raised overhead.

[19] The album featured Tsai's live performance from the J1 World Tour concert held on November 20, 2004, at the Chungshan Soccer Stadium in Taipei, Taiwan, along with one new song, "Paradise".

[20] This album was the first live concert video by a Chinese artist to be filmed using HDTV technology and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.
