One Direction have landed in Japan!
Having just been in Africa a few days ago, One Direction are already on the other side of the world, arriving in Tokyo’s Narita International Airport on Wednesday. This is One Direction’s first time in Japan. Being greeted by fans when they arrive in new cities is nothing new, and Japan was no exception. Excited fans greeted them at the airport, where the band wore traditional kimonos. The kimonos were customized to spell “One Direction” in Japanese on the front.
Harry Styles posted a picture of Tokyo on Instagram, with the caption “Sooooo Hi Japan!” Niall Horan followed suit, tweeting “Japan! This place is so cool! Can’t wait for the next few days ! Gona be fun!”
The group (which also includes Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik) is in Japan to promote their second album ‘Take Me Home’, which came out in November last year. They will also begin to shoot footage there for their upcoming 3D concert/documentary movie, coming out later this year.
One Direction is the biggest act to come out of the X Factor UK, signing with Simon Cowell’s Syco Music after finishing in third place on the show. They are planning to go on a world tour this year, with tour dates in the U.K., Ireland, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, as well as more dates are still in the works for Europe and Asia.
