 Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi, Tokyo. A foreign man in a cap and sunglasses is sitting in the circle of the &#8220;Myomu&#8221; sculpture located in the center of the plaza, fiddling with his smartphone. He is AJ McLean, 45, of the Backstreet Boys (BSB).
 BSB is a five-member group based in Florida, U.S.A., formed in 1993, and in 1999, their album &#8220;Millennium&#8221; became their first No. 1 album in the U.S., and it also reached No. 1 on the annual charts. Their albums have sold more than 140 million copies worldwide.

 In Japan, &#8220;I Want It That Way,&#8221; released in 1999, reached No. 1 on the Western music charts. They have performed in Japan a total of six times, including three dome tours, and since their Tokyo concert was canceled in 2019 due to a major typhoon, this is their first concert in the Kanto area in 10 years&#8221; (music magazine editor).
 The &#8220;DNA World Tour&#8221; took place over three days in February at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, attracting a total audience of about 30,000 people, with AJ performing on the 15th.
 Arigatoo gozaimasu, tokyo, seiyuu tomorrow,&#8221; he concluded.
 AJ was spotted by a fan. Fans spotted AJ in the early afternoon of the last day of the concert, perhaps enjoying some shopping at Tokyo Midtown, with a huge paper bag with the NIKE logo on it next to him. Around him were three strong men dressed all in black, looking like bodyguards, keeping a close eye on him. Then, a man approached. He seemed to be a fan of AJ&#8217;s, but when he tried to talk to him, the bodyguards strongly stopped him and said, &#8220;No! When he tried to talk to them, his bodyguards strongly stopped him. AJ was so absorbed in his phone that he didn&#8217;t even notice the situation.

 AJ is known as a kind-hearted person who is involved in various charitable activities, including the establishment of a foundation for music charities. (Editor)
 BSB finished the final performance of the night without incident, and we can hardly wait for their next visit to Japan.
