Lady Gaga really loves Japan and thinks you should too

  • June 23, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

Lady Gaga has decided that she is using her current trip to Japan to help bolster the country's tourism industry following the recent Tsunami.

Talking to The Associated Press and reported by Billboard, Gaga said that she's making a concerted effort to go out and enjoy the city and the food while in Tokyo, urging her fans to do the same.

"I can't say enough to people all over the world that the majority of Japan right now, Japan in general, is very safe," she said. "It's fine to come here. It's beautiful."

Over the weekend Gaga will perform at the MTV Video Music Aid Japan fun­draiser and received a cer­ti­fic­ate from the com­mis­sioner of the Japan Tourism Agency today in recog­ni­tion of her support and money-raising efforts.

"The most important thing, and the best thing, we could do for Japan right now is to boost tourism, and so everyone come to Japan and come enjoy the beautiful country," she continued.

It's good to know that Lady Gaga's on board with the whole 'is Japan alright or not' thing.
