Each album has been listened to by millions of people, listeners all over the world, and the cumulative number of concert attendees has reached one million.

The tracks of this album include classic tracks and popular new songs, spanning multiple creative stages in her music career., fully presenting the multiple overlaps of voice, emotion and life state. The entire album was personally initiated and participated in the entire process. From live recording, post-mixing to visual editing, after a year of painstaking polishing, she left this "most complete self" work. This is not only a record of the concert, but also an inner answer delivered sincerely.

Looking for answers from the universe, the greatest significance of making music is to "heal people's hearts"

《Let’ s Depart! The "Give the World's Longest Kiss" tour spans four years. During this period, Chua Jianya also released three albums and participated in the creation of film and television soundtracks. Her music also continues to grow and evolve, becoming more three-dimensional and powerful. This round of tour is no longer just about the music itself, but also records her emotional state and spiritual understanding at different stages of her life. "I'm lucky to be able to record myself in every stage with music, including my most fragile and self-skeptical moments." She said,"I once asked the universe what is the point of making music?" Then she heard her inner voice: "Your task is to experience life and heal people with music."

For many singers, releasing concert albums is not unusual, but Chua admitted that she didn't make this step until her 29th year of debut. She said: "It's not that I didn't have the opportunity before, but that I couldn't get past the psychological barrier." She cares about her voice state and emotional tension, and is worried that the recorded picture will not be as expected-"There is only one chance. If I am in a bad state that day and can't start over, what should I do?" This time, she said,"I think the time is up."

Tsai Jianya spent many years building her mind. After constantly communicating with her soul, she learned to embrace and fall in love with her imperfections, so she decided to release this concert album. For her, this is not just a record of a performance, but also "how music records my emotional states at different stages of life." Tsai Jianya also called this concert album "the most abundant song list in the entire tour": it not only covers many representative works since her debut, but also includes three newly released albums during the tour. The performance lasted for nearly three hours, and her emotions progressed layer upon layer, which is a complete condensation of her musical journey.

Use the richest song list to open the most immersive concert experience

This concert album is not only sincere in content, but also a "top match" in production specifications. Chua Jianya personally acted as music post-production, retaining the original sound feature of not using Program on site, and personally entered the recording studio and completed the 5.1-channel surround sound mixing with the team, just to allow the audience to feel the true and delicate emotional flow of the night through the sound source. At the same time, she also invited director Birdy Nio to direct and edit live images to completely restore every light and shadow change, every look and breath on the stage. This is not only a live recording, but also an immersive sound narrative.

Tsai Jianya's concert scene has never relied on too much special effects and external tension, but uses the simplest instrumental music preparation and lighting to express the emotions to the extreme. In her music, what really retains people is not the high-profile moments, but the fragments that are "understood and seen". This album was created to carry such fragments.

January 28,"Let's Depart! The digital album "Give the World's Longest Kiss" is officially launched, and a four-year sound journey will soon meet you in your ears. The physical version will also be launched later, so stay tuned.
