Hong Kong has supported Japan since the Great Tohoku Earthquake, and YUI expressed her gratitude saying, "Thank you for helping Japan. I was very happy."

YUI has continued to top the album charts in Hong Kong since her 2nd album, "CAN'T BUY MY LOVE", to her most recent, "HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN". She has gained popularity all over Asia, mainly in Hong Kong and Korea.


YUI satisfied her fans by putting together a new set list for this live, and dancing with dancers she called from Hong Kong. She also showed photos on the screen that fans sent of their important people while singing her debut song, "feel my soul". Additionally, there was a surprise segment where Hong Kong's most famous comedian appeared on stage.

According to people in Hong Kong, YUI's concert sold faster than Canadian singer Avril Lavigne's. It is also said that fans from America, Canada, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, and other parts of the world attended this concert.

The proceeds from the original charity goods sold at the live will be donated through Japan Platform to the disaster stricken areas from the Great Tohoku Earthquake.
