Whitney's sold-out concert tour of Japan which began
January 1 and concluded January 24, playing 14 dates in 7 cities,
was a phenomenal success.
The show was really "hot" with a new band performing
three new songs from her up-coming nearly completed album,
and three all male back-up singers (including Whitney's
brother, Gary).
The Japanese fans snatched up tickets to all
her shows in just hours.
Even with the heavy concert schedule, Whitney managed
to enjoy the pleasures of Far Eastern living, from riding its'
world famous Bullet Train which travels up to speeds
of 100 miles per hour from Tokyo to Osaka, to tasting the
oriental culinary delights like sushi and tempura.
Whitney experienced the full pleasures of Japan.
She even did something very Western when on her day off, she
and her band members went bowling at the local lanes in
Fukuoka. Everyone munched on pizza and had a great time.
By the end of the tour, Whitney had picked up
many words of Japanese and looks forward to her next voyage to the
Far East.

"Takin' A Chance" was the new single in Japan.
The single was released in that country only.
Before singing "All the man I need", Whitney said:
"this song is going to be on my new album,
which should be released very soon, we don't know
when but we'll see." They released the new album,
"I'm Your Baby Tonight" 10 months later.
