Maybe a blanket “Happy Holidays” would’ve sufficed as Britney made her promotional rounds in Japan, but she won points with me after barely looking like the overwhelming crowd/simultaneous translation/general awkwardness got to her. Brit’s totally back in the swing of things, and out of all her Circus comeback stops, this appearance was one of the most interesting (and she isn’t even singing in the first one).

One thing that’s making me sad, though: I see her outfit hasn’t changed. A tweak or two would get her looking less “Madonna”-esque– I hope she makes a resolution to change stylists for 2009!
