IU performs at Japan’s most renowned music and fashion event

IU has been invited to the Girls Tokyo Collection 2012, to be held in Tokyo on March 3. In January last year, IU held a showcase to celebrate her Japanese debut, leaving an intense impression. In time for the upcoming release of her debut album, the recent invitation to the Collection will be a good chance for her to meet Japanese music fans in advance.

The Girls Tokyo Collection is the biggest event for both fashion and music in Japan. Following Kara and After School, IU was invited this year as a guest singer to show off her high-quality music and trendy fashion.

A representative of IU’s agency says, “In time for the upcoming release of her Japanese debut album, IU was given a great chance to perform at the renowned Japanese fashion and music event, which will definitely help publicize her among Japanese music fans.”

On January 24, IU held a showcase in Tokyo to celebrate her upcoming debut in Japan. Her debut song will be the Japanese version of the Korean hit song “Good Day.”

Her image as both a cute ‘idol’ singer and a competent musician seems to appeal to Japanese music fans. In fact, an artistically talented, pretty ‘idol’ singer is of real value in the music world. Japanese media are showing an active interest in her future music-related journey in Japan.

Her debut single, “Good Day,” will be released on March 21 in Japan.
