Black Eyed Peas 'Just Can't Get Enough' to Japan

The Black Eyed Peas have dedicated their latest video for "Just Can't Get Enough" to the victims of the natural disaster in Japan. The Peas teamed up with director Ben Mor and traveled to Tokyo for the shoot which took place only one week before the devastating natural disaster occurred in Japan. It opens with the message for the people in the country: "This video was filmed in Japan one week before the earthquake. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the people of Japan. We love you." The band hope that their video for "Just Can't Get Enough" will raise awareness and funds for those who need help.
"Just Can't Get Enough" is the second single from American hip hop group's sixth studio album, "The Beginning," available on iTunes now. The electro song is an attempt to showcase the "physical and emotional range" of the voice of band member Fergie. It vaults suddenly from the rare dignity of string-synth textures to a sweatily pumping techno finale. Apl.de.ap told Beatweek Magazine why he wanted this to be the follow up to "The Time (Dirty Bit). Said the mohawked Black Eyed Peas co-founder: "It's a different tempo and it's also paying homage to the ladies. It's a love song and it's got a nice melody to it. So I think it would be a great different taste for our listeners."
"It was the easiest video I ever shot because it was us living our lives," Fergie told Entertainment Tonight. "I love that it's showing a true perspective of how it can sometimes be lonely on the road away from our loved ones. It also demonstrates the love and connection we have with Japan. Our heart goes out to all of the Japanese people who have been affected by this natural disaster." True to form, the video plays out like a love letter to the thriving metropolis and culture-rich city that made Tokyo. Taboo expressed, "It was an amazing moment in time because Japan has always been my favorite place on the planet. It was great to do our video there. God bless the Japanese. Our love goes out to them." Apl.de.ap also confirmed that "doing it guerrilla style in Tokyo was the way to capture it!"
The music video is about them living their lives on the road even though they are away from their loved ones. It will also be dedicated to the victims in Japan as it was filmed a week before the earthquake. Stacy Ferguson is seen enjoying her solitude in hotel room, sitting by the window and enjoying Tokyo's night city view. will.i.am, Taboo and Apl.de.ap, meanwhile, take a tour around the town, giving fans a look at the thriving metropolis and culture-rich city that made Tokyo. The tribute video closed with a request to donate to the Red Cross, urging fans to make donation for the relief effort. The four-member group are set to perform the track live on 'American Idol' tonight.
