Hi all, I wasn't too sure if opening a new thread for the Japanese Promo tour was a good idea, but Hayley usually does a lot of TV and radio shows when she's over there so hopefully there will be lots of things to post! Hayley has arrived safely in Japan. She started her promo tour yesterday at 13:00 (local time) with an interview on Radio AM 1242. She talked about her new album, the June concert tour and her duet with Blake which is used for commercials. She also mentioned how much she loves soybeans & sashimi :rollin Here's a picture of Hayley with the Japanese interviewers. Stephany  |

Hello Stephany and everyone
The June 1st time slot is interesting as Hayley was only supposed to be in Japan for a week for this promo tour. I wonder is she is coming back to UK or going home to NZ in between? Or perhaps she is, after all, staying in Japan.
Best wishes
Grant
Edit: Hayley confirmed in the Cornwall interview that the promo is just for one week

Or perhaps she is, after all, staying in Japan. Hayley said on the BBC Cornwall interview that she's in Japan to do promotion for a week and then she's back in London for a week of recording, before going back again to Japan for the concert tour.

Hello Grant, I wouldn't have thought it was worthwhile to do the trip back to England just for one week but apparently Hayley and/or her management thought it was. I wonder why the rush? By the way, I'd love to know if one of the photo's you posted earlier was taken whilst the interviewer was teasing Hayley about the All Blacks! Tehe - could be  Love, Stephany |

Hi everyone, As you may already know, Hayley Westenra & Blake's song duet is used in Japanese commercials for Toyota's new Alphard car. Hayley & the boys were today at the car's debut presscall at Omotesando Hills in Japan. A few pictures: Pictures are from www.wireimage.com |

...and here's a new picture of Hayley from Japan.  I've just read on a Japanese website that she's never been to Kyoto even though it's one of the most touristic Japanese city. The Tour Programme also indicates that she will perform songs from her new Japanese album. Stephany |

Once again Hayley's favouritism of Japan makes me jealous but at the same time, exhilarated.
