Jay Chou's (Jay) “Carnival World Tour 2025” Hong Kong dates took place from the 27th to the 29th at the Kai Tak Sports Park, with three consecutive nights of performances. For the second show on the 28th, a high-profile guest made an appearance—Japanese heartthrob Tomohisa Yamashita, who has recently become close friends with Jay Chou. The two dashing stars performed “Waiting For You After Class” together, effortlessly switching between Chinese and Japanese lyrics. Jay taught Yamashita to greet fans in Cantonese: “大家好，我系靚仔 (Hello everyone, I'm a handsome guy).” The crowd burst into laughter. Yamashita asked what it meant, and Jay joked, “It means wonderful! 我系一个靓仔 (I'm a handsome guy)!” Yamashita then greeted everyone in English as well and further wowed the audience by performing his own Japanese single “Loveless,” sending the venue into a frenzy again.
That night, Jay Chou revealed the story behind their connection, which started with a TV series starring Yamashita. “How did we actually meet? Has anyone watched a certain drama? Any wine lovers here know about ‘Drops of God’? It's adapted from the Japanese manga ‘Kami no Shizuku.’ We chatted for a long time, especially about wine and such,” Jay explained. During their conversation, they thought it would be fun to give Hong Kong fans a surprise, which led to their first-ever performance together.
On the 29th, Jay updated his Instagram, sharing that it made him incredibly happy to have his good friend Tomohisa Yamashita as a guest for the second Hong Kong show and hoped fans enjoyed the surprise. He also praised Yamashita, saying he is one of the few artists he knows who, besides having outstanding looks, is also extremely humble and kind. “All these years, he has remained sincere—it's truly remarkable. This sincerity can move people's hearts—let's keep supporting him together!”
