Nagoya!" and he responded, "I'll correct that, a nationwide tour of Japan!" to huge cheers. Through this exchange, his closeness with his fans was further highlighted. His answers, filled with humor and warmth, included, "My favorite Japanese word (one I learned recently) is 'butsubutsu' (meaning "bubutsu")," and "My favorite color is black, but if Sikcret were a color, it would be pink or red." The venue was filled with smiles from start to finish.
