TOKYO — American singer Cyndi Lauper visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Government headquarters April 27 and met with Gov. Yuriko Koike.
Lauper spoke of her view that Japan is a center of music, art and design, and that the culture is wonderfully accepting of music. Koike responded by saying how Lauper’s music energizes her.
This is the 15th time Lauper has come to Japan for solo performances. As this tour is being billed as her “Farewell Tour,” the dates which wrapped up April 25 are being seen as her final Japan concerts.
