I hope everyone is good!?

A VERY tired and jet-lagged Joe here (I have been up for 48 hours), but I thought I'd write a quick blog about our time in Japan while it's still fresh in my mind (I've only just got back).

Basically Japan is AMAZING and we had such a good time. Japan is a beautiful, clean country and is very welcoming. There's so much to look at, always something to do and the people are far too kind, have to be some of the nicest on the planet. If you haven't been to Japan, then go!... Tell them I sent you! ;)

I'll try and write a tour diary tomorrow and will post a link to it when I've done it. Be warned... it might be a long one!!

I just wanted to give high-fives to everyone who we met and worked with over the last few days, you are all beautiful people inside and out and although short, you all helped to make our time and shows in Japan something we'll never forget. Thanks to all the crew, production staff and especially our Japanese label Yoshimoto Records and Yoshi for making it all happen.

The shows were more than awesome too. Sexual favours and kisses go out to Metro Station - http://www.myspace.com/metrostation and Hey Monday - http://www.myspace.com/heymonday for giving us the honour of gracing the stage with them and being all-round thoroughly good people! It was a pleasure to support you guys! Although I want it to be said we were never actually made to feel like a 'support' band, and there was no 'divide' back-stage. We all just hung out and chatted before and after shows, and all dressing room doors were open, they made us feel like part of the team.

Finally we want to thank everyone who came to the shows and who we met before and after. Japanese audiences are one of the best in the world and we can't wait to come back!

THANK YOU ALL!
