Ricky Martin isn't letting success make him soft. Au contraire. Ricky looks leaner and better toned than he did during his year of overexposure after "Livin' La Vida Loca." And he's showing off his hard body and fuller, blond-streaked locks in a dazzling new video, "She Bangs." This has the same kind of relentless, kinetic beat as "La Vida Loca" and tells a similar tale -- a wicked (wonderfully wicked) woman snares our Ricky. Well, there's no harm in not messing with a successful formula.
As part of his world tour �Livin� La Vida Loca�, just a few days from the launching of his new record production which comes out in November, the interpreter of �Livin� La Vida Loca� offered three concerts before a full house, two of them in the �Jo Hall�, and one in Osaka and the �Yo Yo Ogi� in Tokio.
The Puerto Rican star also participated in various successful television programs in Japan such as �Pop Jam TV� and will be present in the �Smap Smap� program where he shall delight his audience with his contagious �She Bangs�.
After his presentations in Japan, Ricky will travel to South Korea where he will give a show on Wednesday in Buda Khan and in Seoul on Saturday.
It is important to note that with such a short time in the market �She Bangs� has been placed among the three preferred melodies in the distinguished billboard list.
Later on, he will travel to China and then Australia
