Canadian teen singer Justin Bieber has named Japan as one of his favourite places in the world after a recent promotional tour in the country.

Speaking to Japanese morning show Sukkiri, the Baby singer said that he did not know very much about the country before he arrived.

He commented: "When I thought of Japan I thought of sushi and ninjas and now I just think it's a really nice place and people are pretty nice."

Bieber, who was in Japan to promote his album My World 2.0, added that the country is "one of my favourite places I've ever been to".

The musician is not the only famous face to pay a visit to Japan this month.

Earlier this week, Lady Gaga wrapped up her Monster Ball tour with a charity gig in Tokyo in support of cosmetic firm MAC's Viva Glam Aids and HIV awareness campaign.

The Poker Face singer made an appearance to sing some of her most well-known songs at Tabloid night club in the city in support of the organisation.
