Libera In Japan 2005 ~ 2007 Book

Cover

Here's an awesome surprise! Back in 2008, EMI Classics published a special photo book of Libera's many trips to Japan from 2005 - 2007. There were 1000 copies made in Japan only, so it's a pretty rare book. Fan de LoK bought one of these books from Japan and scanned the pages to share with everyone! This thing is loaded with awesome pictures!

In April 2005, Libera had their first concerts in Japan - April 7 in Tokyo and April 8 in Yokohama.

Look how little they all were! :D

I love the picture on the left of Callum hugging little Zach!

And that alligator is bigger than Jonathan! Back then anyway!

Asakusa is an historic area of Tokyo that contains the famous Senso-ji Temple.

I love all of these pictures!

I love them trying to use chopsticks!

February 14-19, 2006, 7 Libera boys went to Tokyo to do a promotional tour for a Japanese TV series called "Ice Wall" that used "Far Away" as its theme song. Libera was interviewed on TV, radio and at a press conference with actor Tamaki Hiroshi. The boys that got to go were Tom Cully, Ed Day, Michael Horncastle, Josh Madine, Conor O'Donnell, Callum Payne and Michael Vereycken. Steven Geraghty also went along but didn't sing.
