Arcade Fire donate song to Bono - November 29, 2006 - Crusading singer BONO has convinced folk/rock band ARCADE FIRE to donate one of their songs to his AIDS charity campaign. The Canadian rockers were so impressed with the charity - Project Red - headed by the U2 star, that they signed away their song LIES to promote the worthy cause. Frontman WIN BUTLER says, "Having talked to all the people in charge of running the Red campaign and learning about how the whole thing works financially, I am convinced that something of this nature is the only way to get Americans to give large amounts of money to directly fight AIDS in Africa in a sustainable way

**** Turning Japanese (Edge complimented the cuisine) - Eight years after they were last in the country, the band have arrived at Saitama Stadium in Tokyo, ahead of the first of three shows. As the band arrived at the venue they chatted to fans and media about being back in the country and the upcoming shows. Asked what changes he'd seen during his stay in the country so far, Bono joked that being a rock star you can often only judge the changes through the quality of the room service. But he added that he sensed a new wave of consciousness in the country. Adam said he was particularly looking forward to the reaction of the Japanese audience because, uniquely on the Vertigo tour, they would be performing the stadium show... at an indoor arena. Edge complimented the cuisine, especially the Ramen, and there was great excitement when Larry showed up - fans climbing the barricades to get him to sign photos and other memorabilia. Hopefully, he said, the wait won't be so long before the band return to Japan.
**** Windows in Tokyo - Window in the Skies, the all-new song from 'U218 Singles', got its live debut here in Japan tonight. "Okay, we've got something a bit special here,' said Bono, after Beautiful Day. 'For the first time in this world, on this planet, we'd like to play you a new song...' 'If we screw up,' he added. 'Blame Edge!' The band are playing their first show in Japan for eight years tonight at the Saitama Stadium in Tokyo. MOre news as soon as the show is over.
**** Another Beautiful Night - Bono arrived on stage holding high a Japanese flag for tonight's opening show in Tokyo. From Blinding Lights to One Tree Hill, it was worth the wait for U2 to return to Japan.
**** Tokyo belongs to me - ''Vertigo' began not in Spanish but in Japanese tonight. But on an evening when Bono routinely slipped between English and Japanese, the enthusiasm of this Tokyo audience would have been clear in any country on the planet. Maybe the massive response was something to do with the unusual set-up: it's winter here, but although the band can't play outdoors, it's the stadium stage they have with them... quite an imposing presence in a covered arena with 25,000 fans. From the moment U2 took the stage, Bono carrying aloft the Japanese flag, the place was a ferment of screaming, dancing, and word perfect singing. It was a fitting tribute when Walk On was dedicated to 'our oldest fan club who are here in Japan' and a nice touch that Window in the Skies, the next single, received its global live debut. The set-up meant the show felt completely different to the North American indoor shows of last year, with Bono and Edge often out on stage right, and Adam rocking most of the evening on stage left. The stage stretched so deep into the venue, it made for an incredibly intimate night and every seat in the house seemed to be the best. Bono thanked Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (who he had met earlier in the day) for 'listening to us' and as the opening bars of Angel of Harlem broke out, introduced 'Larry Mullen Jnr' and 'Adam Clayton'. 'Tonight it's Tokyo belongs to me.' And if we thought that One Tree Hill had been reserved for the Kiwi audience, we were happily mistaken, here it was again, closing out a wonderful opening night. 'God bless you and keep you,' said Bono. 'Sayornara Tokyo.' The cars in Saitama * The Arena in Saitama * The signs in Saitama * Bono and Japan's flag * Bono and Japan's flag
