It’s no secret that Lady Gaga is a fan of Japan. She has just put a bracelet up for sale that says “We pray for Japan” in both Japanese and English. The bracelet is on sale for $5 and all proceeds will go directly to Japan relief efforts. She is very quick to act and the gesture seems sincere. It could be a great way for fans to contribute $5 to help people affected by the Tsunami and Earthquake in Japan while also getting a piece of memorabilia.

Here is a screenshot of the bracelet below. It is being sold on Lady Gaga’s Official Store.

Overtime in Japan

Companies always find creative ways around paying overtime to employees.

  1. I ordered five (5) bracelets and have never received them. Might they still be coming? Is there a backlog? Please respond.

The LadyGaga shop FAQ says that you can login and check your order using the shipping code you received in a confirmation email. The bracelet itself is described as being in “preorder status” so I am guessing many have not shipped yet.

    If you go to the site, there is a HELP link in the upper right corner. From there you can click a tab to go to an online form to email the support desk. Hope this helps.
