"It felt great to know that so many fans showed up for our first concert in Japan. It was great to see our fans sing along with us and we hope to do our best for our other shows," the members of U-Kiss were quoted as saying.

They will continue with their activities in the country with a hand shaking session today, appearances on several local television shows and holding their second concert in Tokyo on Friday.
