Black Eyed Peas finished up their Ambassadors of Rock tour of Japan last night at Tokyo's Saitama Super Arena, concluding a cross-country trek that took them to Hard Rock Cafes for meet & greets and even to Hard Rock Cafe Tokyo Roppongi for a post-show after-party with Poet Name Life, their tour DJ.
Along the way they also hit up Hamamatsu Arena in Hamamatsu, Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya, Makuhari Messe in Tokyo, Osakajo Hall in Osaka, and World Hall in Kobe. Bringing their funky hip-hop and dance to Japan bridged the gap between cultures, proving, once again, that music really is the international language. The audiences say along in chorus with Black Eyed Peas, taking part in the call and repsonse that is essential in hip-hop.
Fergie, wil.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo brought it every single night, showing the good people of Japan how a proper arena show should play out. That is, with big sound, big lights, and big love for the audience. Truly a great set of shows, Ambassadors of Rock, Hard Rock's global series featuring top artists and bands, and Black Eyed Peas blew away those fans lucky enough to be there. Rock on!
