You all need to do some research! Boyz II Men have been doing great charity work for years and years, including the Boyz II Men House and paying to open a burn center. They have ALWAYS been about giving back, and they love Japan! Follow Shawn Stockman on Twitter as well as the group, and you'll see nothing but love from them. I've followed the group all twenty years they've been in the business, and they never stop speaking the praises of Japan and how much they love the people and culture. It's no surprise to me they wanted to travel to Tohoku. They were not dragged - they are grown men. Not senior citizens, like some have suggested. You might want to pick up their new album, Twenty, and judge for yourself. These guys have more talent in their pinky toe than most of the artists out today because they can really SING. Their live show is amazing, and they can still outdance most 20-year-olds. Sounds like a lot of you don't know they still do about 150 shows a year, and oh, have you seen The Sing Off? Boyz II Men are alive and VERY well. American audiences, true to form, are fickle and just plain mean. Boyz II Men still have a HUGE and loyal following in Japan. They sell out shows every time they're there.
