SCOTTISH singing sensation Susan Boyle has brought her act to Japan.
The 48-year-old church volunteer who rocketed to fame with her performance on TV show "Britain's Got Talent" arrived at Tokyo's international airport yesterday to prepare for a guest appearance on Japan's premier vocal variety show, which will be aired live on New Year's Eve by Japan public broadcaster NHK.
Boyle smiled broadly as she greeted a mob of photographers at the airport, but declined a request for an impromptu song, saying her fans would have to wait for the show.
She is scheduled to sing her trademark "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables.
The NHK program, now in its 60th year, showcases the most popular singers of the year. Most of its guests are Japanese.
Boyle was runner-up in the British talent show, but her performance became a hit on YouTube and made her one of the biggest international celebrities of the year, with more than 120 million views.
Boyle, from West Lothian, struggled to handle the worldwide attention she gained after her first audition was watched by millions on television and online.
In June, she was admitted to a clinic after suffering a fame-induced anxiety attack.
