With the Tokyo skyline behind them, U2 performed two tracks live for Japanese TV tonight.

Performing on the rooftop of TV ASAHI, the band greeted the presenters in the studio and went straight into Vertigo and the upcoming single Window in the Skies.

Earlier Bono spoke to the show, Music Station, from the Red and White Reception, an awareness raising event hosted by Japan's 'hottokenai' (the national Make Poverty History campaign) to mark World AIDS Day.
