Simple Plan recap their tour in Japan in a new video

One week, four shows, three cities, hundred miles away from home in a whole different culture, great times and excited people – that’s what Simple Plan’s recent Japan tour was like in a nutshell. Now, to get a better look at what the tour was actually like visually, you can now check out the most recent recap vlog, the band has posted on their Instagram, documenting this tour from top to bottom.

Here it is:

Swedish musician Jens Lekman recounts being mistaken for Jeff Stinco in Tokyo

Simple Plan weren’t the only ones, who recently graced Japan with their presence. The Swedish musician Jens Lekman had a show in Tokyo on October 17th, right during SP’s stay in the capital.

During his show, Lekman recounted a funny anecdote that happened to him earlier that day, which SimplePlan.cz got ahold of thanks to the fans attending his concert. In it, Lekman admitted to being mistakenly recognized by a fan… who thought he was Jeff Stinco. And you can’t blame her – they both rock the same awesome haircut. :)

Check out what Jens said at his concert below:

“When I got off the taxi in front of the venue, there was a girl who came closer to me and started to take pictures with me, crying. I got a letter from her too, and I thought: ‘I finally became a super star!’ But when I opened the seal, there was a letter addressed to the members of Simple Plan, who were staying around the corner that day.”

– Jens Lekman (paraphrased from fans’ recollections) –
