The Japanese are planning a documentary on Susan Boyle's rise to fame. Japanese television producers have flown north to the singer's hometown of Blackburn in West Lothian, Scotland, and will visit her council house, which Boyle's brother, Gerry, has said she hopes to buy.

Boyle, who soared to fame as a runner-up on Britain's Got Talent, has moved into luxury digs in London ahead of her American tour. The producers also plan to interview fans at the Happy Valley Pub, where Boyle, 48, used to sing karaoke. Kanako Hiramoto, of the major broadcaster NHK, said: "We wanted to tell the story of the Susan Boyle phenomenon and how the world responded to her remarkable performance on Britain’s Got Talent. People in Japan are fascinated by the story."
