Not quite as Gaga as usual: Pop superstar looks understated as she lands in Japan for the Far East leg of her world tour

By Daily Mail Reporter

Far out in the Far East: Singer Lady Gaga arrives at the New Tokyo International Airport in Narita, east of Tokyo, for the Japanese leg of her world tour


She may have carved out a name for herself as a wacky dresser, but Lady Gaga might have her work cut out as she headed to Japan, where some of the fashion trends are far crazier than the singer's own tastes.

And the outfit she sported at New Tokyo International Airport in Narita, east of Tokyo, was a little understated in comparison to her usual outlandish ensembles.

In an angular grey asymmetric suit, with wide parachute trousers, huge black platform heels, leather cuffs and sunglasses the 24-year-old superstar singer wasn't quite as Gaga as she usually is.


Ahead of the pack: The singer had a temporary tattoo written in Japanese Katakana in black marker, reading: "I love little monster." on her forearm - and the same message on her £3,000 handbag

She also carried a large white Hermès Birkin bag (worth £3,000) which she defaced with the message "I love little monster, Tokyo love." in the Japanese alphabet of Katakana - and she had "I love little monster" written on her forearm.

The singer refers to her army of loyal fans as her little monsters.
Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, is in Japan as part of her Monsters Ball world tour.


Big in Japan: The pop superstar will be performing concerts in Kobe and Yokohama over the next four nights before heading to Stockholm in early May


She will be performing concerts in Kobe and Yokohama over the next four nights, before heading to Stockholm in early May.

Over the weekend her first album, The Fame, went back to the top of the UK album chart for the fourth time.

The LP, which was released in January 2009, made its first appearance at the top of the chart exactly a year ago and has spent a total of 48 weeks in the top 10.

Her return to number one pushed last week's chart-toppers, Boyzone, down to number two.

Meanwhile, fellow female performer M.I.A has criticised Lady Gaga's music, dismissing it as "20-year-old Ibiza disco" and accusing her of mimicking.

In an interview with the NME the singer said: 'She models herself after Grace Jones and Madonna but the music sounds like 20-year-old Ibiza disco.

'She’s not progressive, but she’s a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I f*****g do! That’s a talent… but she’s the industry’s last stab at making itself important.'
