So today we continue—for no reason at all other than that I love these pics and this interview and I want everybody to read it—our translation of Johnny's interview with Sport Express with parts 3 and 4, translated by the lovely Tatiana Edrenkina and graced with some random new picspam from the Russian fan meeting last December, also by Tati, because she's awesome, and also because yay Russia.

IDEK where to start. So many photos and stories rolling in, and more is headed our way.... So today I'm just posting what I've got so far, with much more to come. Many of our fellow fans who saw him in Taipei are still sort of awash in the experience, and need some time to collect their thoughts (and their pics and vids!). So here's a glimpse of the Taipei show, featuring exclusive new video thanks to the fabulous Zoe Cheng, the artist who created the silk painting showcased on last Thursday's blog. ♥
