On July 8, 2004, Tsai announced that she would begin her first concert tour, the J1 World Tour, on August 7, 2004, at the Hongkou Football Stadium in Shanghai, China.[5] On December 15, 2004, media reports revealed that Tsai planned to release a live video album from the tour. It was expected to be released either at the end of 2004 or in early 2005. The album would be filmed using HDTV technology and sent to Japan for production. However, it was also noted that footage of Tsai's performance with Jay Chou might be excluded due to contractual disputes between Chou and Sony.[6]

On October 19, 2005, Tsai released the music video for "Paradise", directed by Marlboro Lai and Bill Chia.
In December 2005, it was revealed that Tsai's contract with Sony BMG had expired in February of the same year. Despite no longer being under contract, Tsai continued to actively support the label's promotional efforts as a gesture of gratitude for the record label's role in her career development.[10]
