BJ in Japan, June 29th., 2007
 

Thank you so much for finding it on youtube and also thank you to the one who uploaded it there.
Is there anybody who can translate, what the moderator is saying here?

Richie's Solo On "Any Other Day" 02 Arena:
 

Richie looks to be in top shape in this video.... I'm glad to hear him playing so well!

That`s solo is amazing in my opinion, just days after gets out rehab!!, Richie is Bon jovi`s soul !!

You know people have been saying that and I just don't agree with it, Richie is not Bon Jovi's soul or head or hands. Richie is Bon Jovi's balls.

That's what is missing whenever Richie is not around, balls. That solo has balls.

I'm too lazy to translate word by word but here is what they are saying :

BJ played in front of 6000 people @ Asahi Beer Festival in Kobe, Japan despite of Jon having 39C fever (around 102F). He had to get some treatment including acupuncture. They praised him for being professional. As you can see, they compared the Japanese chart and Billboard chart. LH is 4th No 1 album in Japan and that made BJ pass the Beatles and Bay City Rollers(I'm not kidding!) Each of them had three No 1 in Japan.

My addtional notes: (not from youtube)
*There are 2 more bands played before BJ. They'll have another show
in Tokyo on Saturday for Asahi Beer. Japanese fans had to drink a lot of
beer to collet stickers on beer cans and send them to Asahi Beer. Only lucky
ones won the tickets for 2.
*BJ played about 1hr 10min (11songs) in Kobe.
*JBJ often has acupuncture treatments in Japan.
*He attended FC event @HRC in Tokyo last night (yes, that infamous $950 pp
event) looking good but a little tired. Get well soon, Jon !

A quite different This Ain't A Love Song:

Jon´s voice really fits this song perfectly. He does a great job with it!
