Jin Akanishi Live in Times Square: Behind-The-Scenes Peek!

February 16, 2011

You’ve waited and waited, and finally it’s time to see your favorite J-pop star in MTV Iggy Presents: Jin Akanishi Live in NYC!

But not yet! First, you get to go behind-the-scenes and watch him prepare for the show.

Before singing his hottest pop singles, Jin had to greet a giant crowd that waited hours and hours for a glimpse of the heartthrob. Then, he had to rehearse with his back-up dancers. Then, he had to show his face big and proud on MTV’s jumbotron!

We captured those busy pre-show moments in our slideshow.
