Thank you very much,” he thanked his Japanese fans whom he was meeting for the first time. “The next song is dedicated to those who have yet to fall in love and to those who are lonely,” he commented and sang “People Watching” softly.

I really appreciate it,” he said, expressing his love for his Japanese fans.
