Black Eyed Peas will.i.am visits tsunami damage sites in Japan

Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am has travelled to Japan to tour areas devastated by the recent tsunami.

The musician kicked off his tour of the region with a benefit concert to raise money for relief efforts on Monday (December 12), before visiting damage sites across Japan throughout the rest of the week.

Will.i.am provided updates on his journey on Twitter and reflected on the resilience of the Japanese people.

He tweeted: "People are still rebuilding their lives from the devastation."

The Black Eyed Peas filmed the music video for their hit 'Just Can't Enough' in Japan just weeks before the March tsunami and later dedicated the clip to the Japanese people.

Will.i.am left Japan on Friday (December 16) to promote US President Barack Obama's global education initiative in neighboring China.
