Jamaican gospel singer John Lucas says his most recent album expresses his gratitude to Japan, the country he has come to view as his second home.

The 36-year-old singer, who gained attention after performing on TV in 2013, released "God is Good!" in May to celebrate the 15th anniversary of his arrival in Japan.

"Japan is my second home country," Lucas says. "I produced the album because I wanted to return the favors I got from Japan."
