Streaming entertainment service Netflix has collaborated with Mandopop singer Jay Chou to release a travel magic show J-Style Trip. Officially rolling out on 21 March, the J-Style Trip series will be unscripted, and strung together by some of Chou’s beloved and timeless hits. The 12-episode magic travelogue will be an one weekly new episode, exclusively on Netflix. 

According to Netflix, this gives viewers an unprecedented opportunity to get a glimpse into Chou’s personal life and candid moments with friends and fans around the world, which is also filled with genuine camaraderie, humour and magic.

Prior to the release of the show, Netflix published a featurette video on its YouTube channel. In the spot, Chou and his friends tour Netflix's Asia Pacific headquarters, and watch films Initial D and Now You See Me 2 which Chou made appearances in. Chou also showed off some magic tricks along the way.

In the actual magic travelogue, Chou travels to eight destinations across three continents including The Gold Coast, Innsbruck, Paris, Singapore, Tokyo, Shenzhen, Taipei, and Vienna. On top of the views of the cities and Chou’s music, J-Style Trip will also feature an all-star list of special guests who join him as co-hosts in each episode. Stars include Singaporean singer JJ Lin, Taiwanese singer Jam Hsiao, and Hong Kong actor Nicholas Tse among several others. The production company behind the series is Star Plus Group.

Netflix declined to comment further on Marketing's queries on the marketing efforts for the new show.
