Continuing her whirlwind publicity tour for Circus, Britney Spears was seen readying for a flight to Japan via LAX airport in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Dressed in her finest airport chic fashion, the 27-year-old pop star rolled to the first class lounge with her father, Jamie Spears, and assistant Brett.

This will be Spears' first visit to Japan in, like, more than five years. The recovering singer is scheduled to appear on Fuji TV’s music program HEYx3.

Britney said in a statement regarding her much-anticipated trip, “The Japanese are just so nice, I love them. I wanna go shopping while I’m there too.”

That about sums it up. Click to enlarge more Britney Spears photos below ...
