To my friends in Japan – You all know that Japan has been dear to my heart since Japan Splash. I came on stage and sang Sayonara Tokyo in Japanese and you all fell in love with me as I had already fallen in love with you!
Japan has been a great place for my group L.U.S.T and the members individually. Trilla practically lived in Japan for years – Tony Curtis and Lukie D are also there regularly. I think last year was the only year that none of us were there. You embraced our Album Sweetness of Your Love released exclusively in Japan (2007) and made it climb the charts even without us there.
I Thanks you for the MANY years of support for Singing Melody, L.U.S.T and my brothers!!! Please come out and see us at the dates below.
