"I wrote the love I give you before the Common Era, buried deep in the Mesopotamian plain, carved forever in cuneiform, that vow weathered over a thousand years."
This song, "Love Before the Common Era," with lyrics by Vincent Fang, music by Jay Chou, and arrangement by Michael Lin, is one of Jay Chou's most representative works. In 2002, Jay Chou won the Best Composer Award at the 13th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards for this song.
According to Nanjing Culture and Tourism, after touring Hangzhou, Fuzhou, and Changsha, Jay Chou's Carnival Concert 2024 tour will arrive in Nanjing next, with performances scheduled from September 26 to September 29 at Nanjing Olympic Sports Center Stadium. This four-day musical feast is expected to welcome 120,000 spectators.
On the same day, September 26, a Jay Chou-themed café named "Love in Coffee" officially opened at Nanjing Xinjiekou Golden Eagle, debuting in sync with the concert.
Jay Chou himself later posted related updates on Instagram.
As soon as "Love in Coffee" opened, it attracted many die-hard Jay Chou fans who made special trips to check in, and it also sparked heated discussions on social platforms.
It is said that this coffee shop is quite distinctive, offering estate-grade coffee beans paired with Michelin three-star desserts, as well as fruit teas, nuts, and chocolates.
The store's spatial design is said to be inspired by "the poetic fantasy of Love Before the Common Era," with the ancient legend of the Hanging Gardens reimagined here. The overall environment blends greenery with stone, combined with the magical effect of mirrored light and shadow, making fans feel as if they have stepped into a green dream.
Since it is a celebrity shop focused on fan economy, most of the products in the store contain elements of Jay Chou's works. Some fans said that sitting in the shop, listening to Jay Chou's classic songs with MV vibes all around, while eating the "lyrics," brings an overwhelming sense of happiness.
Some fans who tasted it said that as the signature drink of the shop, "Love Before the Common Era" uses rich cream plus a whole chocolate ice cream bar and a coffee base. Before stirring, it is slightly bitter; after stirring, it has a strong chocolate flavor with a slight bitterness, but a delicious bitterness, and after fully melting, it turns sweet, more like chocolate milk.
A single cup of Love Before the Common Era is priced at 39 yuan. The shop also offers drinks such as Vienna Dream (26 yuan), Misty Rain Apricot Coffee (26 yuan), mijito (29.5 yuan), Ceylon Tea Chocolate (36 yuan), and Peach Fragrance (26 yuan). It must be said that the pricing at Jay Chou's shop is quite reasonable.
It is understood that fans can also customize personalized message cups through the mini-program of the same name. Each order becomes a little diary recording one's mood, and selected messages will be displayed on the "Melody Message Board." Users can also view messages from other fans.
Some people said that although they have not yet bought tickets for Jay Chou's Nanjing concert, sitting in Jay Chou's newly opened coffee shop, drinking coffee, eating desserts, and listening to their idol's classic songs for free all day is also a good choice.
Previously, the first "Love in Coffee" café opened in Beijing Sanlitun, attracting many Jay Chou fans to check in. Before the opening, Jay Chou had personally gone to show support, and the building also has JENDES, a clothing pop-up store founded by Hannah Quinlivan.
It is understood that one of the shareholders of the operation and management company of "Love in Coffee" is Star Plus Legend, and Star Plus Legend has close ties with Jay Chou. Among its founders are not only Jay Chou's mother, Yeh Hui-mei, but also manager Yang Chunrong, agency director Chen Zhong, and long-time partner Ma Xinting. At the same time, Jay Chou himself is also a major celebrity IP operated by Star Plus Legend.
