Report by Yoshino kero:
We (the One World Japanese Fan Club) had a party with the band again in Shibuya (not Akasaka) on 8th midnight, after the second show.
Over 70 fans and the band joined our party!
The band arrived at the pub at around 0.30am and didn't leave until past 3.00am.

This time, we asked Kasim to sing and play with our band.
We started our party with our band playing a couple of 70's cover songs.
Then, we gave them small gifts from the One World Fan Club. They were our original tour T-shirts with a TR illustration, and Sake with an original label on which was written each of their names in Kanji charactors (sorry Kasim, you never drink Sake!).
After that, the big time arrived as Kasim was on stage with us!

What a lucky group of fans we were!!
He seemed to enjoy playing.
Kasim was soooooo sweet.

Kasim Sulton:
Kasim described this event as:
"I think the highlight of the trip - besides playing 10 shows in 5 days - was the party that the fans gave us on the second night in Tokyo.
The Fans always do the sweetest things for us each time we come here. They always present us with gifts, cookies with our pictures on them, letters of support ... but I don't think we were prepared for the event.
There must have been 100 people packed like sardines into a small club in the Akasaka district.
We arrived around 12:30am to applause and camera flashes.
I had gotten a letter a few days before from Yoshino the Woman who arranged everything and I was asked if I might join the band on a few songs. I wound up singing for about an hour with them. The best was their version of 'Communion With The Sun'. What a hoot!
All in all it was the best time I've had in Japan since 1976.
Can't wait to go back."

This is Kasim reading the words during Venus & Mars - Rockshow - Jet!
