Do we actually use this thread for H!P-in-Asia things or are new threads normally made?

Anyway, looks like Berryz is Mayanmar bound. March 10th for the Japan Festival in Yangon, Myanmar.

Japanese all-girl band Berryz Kobo will take centre stage at next month’s Japan Festival in Yangon, festival organisers said.
The seven-member band will perform on March 10, the second day of the three-day festival, at Yangon’s MCC Convention Centre, event organiser Dr. Zarni Maung Maung said.
“They group will return to Japan in the evening after the show,” he said, adding that group had been invited by the Japan External Trade Organisation.
“We plan to invite more Korean artists,” Zarni Maung Maung said, referring to the growing popularity of K-Pop here. The Japanese band is not well known in Myanmar but will be profiled in local media to make them familiar here, he said.
Last year’s festival did not include entertainment, showcasing only Japanese products. This year’s festival is organised by Myanmar Professional Services Ltd. and JETRO.
Berryz Kobo seven members are Saki Shimizu, Momoko Tsugunaga, Chinami Tokunaga, Maasa Sudo, Miyabi Natsuyaki, Yurina Kumai and Risako Sugaya. The band formed in 2004 and four years later it received the Best Asian Newcomer Award at the Asia Song Festival. It has sold more than one million CDs and DVDs in Japan.

I get it! Berryz wins contest to go to Thailand so Tsunku is like lets do a Thai cover and Cha Cha Sing happens! Cha Cha SING does well and Berryz goes go Thailand and that also does well. Then they add a concert in Bangkok! So tsunku is like let's make the song Asian Celebration and send Berryz across all of Asia!!!!! Berryz is the new international group! Oh and I guess MoMusu gets to so some worldwide handshakes that don't really go all around the world lol Tsunku tried to expand into Asia once and failed so this is like the scaled down version XD

Myanmar is really an unexpected country for me. I thought they'd go to may be Indonesia/Singapore next.

Are you saying it wasn't a military dictatorship, just one step above North Korea, until only a couple years ago?

Yes, it's improving now, but its reputation is not unearned.
