() is the 6th album by the Taiwanese
R&B and
Rap artist (and composer) mega star,
Jay Chou , and was first released on
1 November 2005 , on par with Jay's norm of releasing one major album per year. Aside from the ten original new songs from a total of twelve songs, the album also included the theme song and the interlude song that Jay composed and performed for the hit movie
Initial D , in which also found Jay's own first acting in a real movie. The album's title, November's Chopin, refers to
Frédéric Chopin , a.k.a. "The Poet of the Piano", the 19th century Polish composer who greatly inspired and also earned to be one of Jay Chou's all time favorite and respected composers. Jay also threw in a little
Pun by both naming and releasing his album in November. The words bleak and gloomy that often describe the month of November are also the very words that are usually used to depict the mood of Chopin's work.
The music video for the album's opening track "Nocturne" was filmed with backgrounds in New York. The release also comes with 3 music videos on a separate
VCD .
