Dozens of screaming fans holding banners and posters greeted U.S. pop singer Lady Gaga in Tokyo on Tuesday as the Grammy Award-winning artist arrived in Japan to promote her U.S. chart-topping album "Joanne."

Dressed in a backless black outfit and pink hat — an accessory she wears on the "Joanne" album cover — the singer-songwriter signed autographs and thanked fans for "inviting me back."

"(I) just wanted to bring happiness to everyone today and I think a pink hat makes every day happy," she said.

"Joanne" is Lady Gaga's fifth studio album. The rock-infused record debuted at the top of the weekly U.S. Billboard 200 album chart on Monday.
