Gaga for Japan


Lady Gaga arrived in Japan on June 21st to help raise money for the victims in northeast Japan as well as promoting her new album, many news articles report.  This is a continuing effort by Lady Gaga. Originally Lady Gaga designed a "pray for Japan" bracelet soon after she heard about the disaster each bracelet cost five dollars and all proceeds went to help the victims and rebuild Japan. In an interview Lady Gaga said, "This is an example of using fashion to do good." It is amazing all of the effort that Lady Gaga is putting in for the people of Japan it is safe to say that Lady Gaga fans as well as everyone else considers this a very admirable act. According to Forbes magazine, Lady Gaga is ranked as this year’s most powerful celebrity making her appearance and support for Japan even more influential and meaningful. So far Lady Gaga’s creation and promotion of the “pray for Japan” bracelets as well as her other contributions has enabled her to contribute a very generous $3 million for the people in the disaster zones according to Kyodo news agency. The charity event Lady Gaga is participating in, in Japan is to take place in Chiba Japan Saturday June 25th 2011.  In addition to raising money at the charity event Lady Gada’s performance in Japan will also hopefully give the Japanese tourism a boost after its dramatic drop following the March 11th disaster. Judging sully from the people who arrived at the airport to greet Lady Gaga upon her arrival in Japan it is safe to say that this event will bring a lot of benefit to the people of Japan. It should be interesting to see the end results of Lady Gaga’s appearance in Japan and how much her contribution helps with the relief effort.
