Lady Gaga is the first American star to step to provide aid. Her request to her fans has got a huge response. The excited popstar has posted a video message on YouTube, in which she prays for Japan. She says, "Konichiwa, this is Lady Gaga. I just wanted to send all of my love and support on behalf of myself as well as monsters from around the world.

She adds, "I want you to know that you can always call on me for help and we have already been doing everything that we can to send relief to all of you. We've already raised 1.5 million dollars selling these fashion prayer bracelets that we've designed in the Haus Of Gaga. They say 'We pray for Japan' in both English and in Japanese. We want to raise even more money and send as much as we can over to help you. We will be praying. I love you and I'm praying for you."

However, the 'Born This Way' singer had taken to her Twitter page to request her fans for donation immediately after the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan on 11 March. She had posted a picture of the white rubber prayer band, which has a message 'We Pray for Japan' in both English and Japan. Watch Video of Message From Lady Gaga to Japan (Pray For Japan)
