Jul 27 2008 - Writing from Japan

Hey Everyone,



So I’m in Japan at the moment to do some interviews and shows. The first thing I did was become a Goodwill Ambassador for UK-Japan 2008. On my first trip here a few months ago I knew I felt a strong connection and had such a fab time so I was honoured when they asked me to be an Ambassador!

There was a ceremony and I was given a certificate to make it official. I think the UK and Japan have so much talent and this is a great way to support each other in music, design and so many other creative industries.



The past few days I’ve been doing some radio and mag interviews and I’ve been quite unwell with tonsillitis which is a bit rubbish, but they bring little gifts and flowers here its so kind and made me feel better grin

.Everybody here is so respectful and nice I really enjoy my time in Japan.



I was walking around Tokyo the other day and saw the cutest little puppy that kept looking at me and wanting to play. I wanted to take him with me so much that Lou had to drag me away! I also went shopping in Harajuku and got a nice lace top and shirt, the fashion is brill there!



I’m doing my first performance at MTV Asia awards soon and I’m really excited but quite nervous as well! I’m going to Malaysia for the show, I’ve never been there and I feel so lucky to be traveling to so many places all for my music.



Well I best be off now I’m in my hotel watching the most awesome thunder and lightning storm over Tokyo. Its a beautiful city and I still have lots more to explore!



Thank you always so much for your support



With Love


Leona
