Surprise Guest YUI at Shanghai Japan Culture Week Event!

The Shanghai Japan Culture Week ??????? is a three day joint cultural event that ran from September 23-25, 2011. This is the first cultural interchange event held by China Japan and had featured various performances by Japanese artists (AKB48), Japanese kimono dressing and tea ceremony demonstrations, and other attractions including a ‘cosplay’ (costume play) competition. This special event was held  to express gratitude for China’s aid after the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

Apparently, this event was free for those who won the lottery from neighboring universities, some students sold “tickets” at a very high price (USD $472).

Popular J-pop girl group AKB48 members performed at 90 minute concert on Saturday, September 24th but the best surprise was to come on the last day! A special guest appeared at this event, and who would it be other than our beloved YUI!

YUI was only allowed to perform 3 songs, here is the setlist:

1) Green a.live
2) I’ll be
3). Good-bye days

She sang three songs, ?Green a.live???I’ll be???Good-bye days?,  consecutively. Among which, ??Green a.live?is about to be released on Oct 5th, and is a song inspired by the YUI’s thoughts and emotions after the 3.11 earthquake. “Green a.live”‘s meaning is “to live with nature”.
