Johnny Depp greets a screaming crowd at the Tokyo premiere of his latest film SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET on January 8, 2008. Johnny wore a black suit and a white shirt open at the neck; a claret-and-black silk tie hung casually around his neck, not knotted, but adding a splash of Sweeney red to his ensemble. Director Tim Burton also enlivened his customary black attire with a dash of red; in Tim’s case, a red-and-black striped shirt.

There’s Johnny! That’s a photo of Johnny Depp, clad in a familiar flannel shirt, blue sunglasses, and a dark brown fedora, arriving at Narita International Airport near Tokyo on January 8th. According to Reuters, “hundreds of fans who were waiting for hours– some even for two days near the airport–screamed and waved” as Johnny walked through the arrival hall. “I waited here for two days. But it was worth it,” 19-year-old Aya Ogata told Reuters. She came from Nagoya and slept only a few hours outside the airport the previous night. Reiko Shibuya flew 1,000 kilometres from Japan’s northernmost island off Hokkaido with her 16-year-old daughter for the chance to see Johnny Depp in person. “This is my dream-come-true,” she said.
