Singer IU recently held her debut Japanese showcase, and she's opened up about how nervous she felt prior to performing her famous '3-high-note'.

On January 26th, IU guested on a live Japanese TV talk show, where she introduced herself to the public and shared some behind-the-scenes stories from her showcase.

IU began, "I was nervous after hearing that we will be starting a showcase in Japan, but I was relieved after a lot of fans showed [up]... I was actually worried for the 3-high-note part because I was in such a bad condition that day, but I felt great after seeing all the fans."

On the 24th, IU opened two showcases at the Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Tokyo and pulled off the 3-high-note boosts from "Good Day" perfectly.

Commenting on her ability to hit high notes, IU said, "I'm actually not that good with high notes. I was never confident with hitting the high notes [to begin with], but I was able to do so with the help of songwriters." She joked, "I've always worked hard on singing, since I'm not good at dancing."

She then added an afterthought,�"But in truth, my dancing isn't that bad," causing�laughter to erupt on the set.

For her first live shoot in Japan, IU put all her effort into speaking only in Japanese for the 35-minute session. However, when she had to use difficult words or phrases, she asked if she could speak Korean and received help from her translator.

Carrying on with her success in Korea, IU has finally breached into Japan and will be releasing her debut single "Good Day" on March 21st.
