Backstage at the JCB Hall with Mr. Udo, the promoter, and Yewkow Hayashi, the CEO of the JCB Hall.

A fan made these shirts commemorating the 100 shows that Toto has played in Japan in their career. How cool is that?

Setting up for the TV show in Tokyo with the group called SMAP, who are the hosts of the show. They are a huge act in Japan, like the Backstreet Boys, I am told.

Hanging out backstage at the TV station watching SUMO...........I dig it!

The TV show we did in Tokyo was with the group SMAP, who’s name stands for ‘Sport Music Assemble People’....

Got back to the hotel in Tokyo and was abducted by Alex and Giorgio of GGM Studios where they took me to a room blindfolded where they gave me a ‘Very Special’ gift. My personal copy of IV Toto. It is a very special thing to me and I can’t thank them and all involved enough for all the effort that went into this very special project. Lot’s of LOVE from and to all..................
