Kanye West was joined by wife Bianca Censori on Wednesday evening as he flew from Tokyo to Beijing ahead of his latest listening party.
West and studio collaborator Ty Dolla Sign will launch the event in Haikou on September 15 on behalf of their critically panned three-album Vultures project.
Vultures II, the second of three planned LP’s from the rappers, was released without fanfare on August 3 and has since been subjected to brutal reviews. Vultures III is yet to be given a release date.
West, 47, is now in Japan with architect wife Bianca Censori, who opted against an apparent preference for see-through clothes – or indeed no clothes at all – while passing through security at Tokyo International Airport.
Instead, she wore a surprisingly conventional cream top and matching bicycle shorts, teamed with a casual cap and kitten-heeled shoes.

Censori, 29, idled in a growing queue with fellow travellers while preparing for a flight to Beijing with her rapper husband and his businessman friend, Ben Priest.
West’s latest sighting comes after he took a swipe at Adidas before giving fellow rapper Drake a shout-out during his Vultures 2 show in South Korea on August 23.
Before performing his 2007 track, I Wonder, the father-of-four declared: ‘This one for Drake.’
Later in the evening, he chanted ‘f**k Adidas’ and encouraged the audience to join him, before playing Can’t Tell Me Nothing, another hit off his third studio album, Graduation.
The rapper’s contentious relationship with Adidas, who manufacture his Yeezy footwear, is well documented.
The German sportswear giant terminated their partnership with West following a series of controversial episodes, among them his decision to wear a ‘White Lives Matter’ top at Paris Fashion Week in 2022.
In February, a source revealed to DailyMail.com that West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian had asked him to ensure Censori is covered up while around their children.
‘Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids. She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.’

Censori has developed a notorious reputation for wearing as little as possible during her numerous appearances in public with West (pictured at Milan Fashion Week in February 2024)
‘Kanye did the same thing he is doing with Bianca to Kim throughout their marriage. The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person – as an artist.’
Of Censori’s decision to wear very little in public, Mark Borkowski, arguably Britain’s leading PR guru, told MailOnline: ‘Where does it end? She clearly is very comfortable with her public image and demonstrates it with this extreme fashion statement.
‘I can only think this is a considered act. It feels to be a desperate attempt for publicity. It feels like a living embodiment of the Empress has no clothes’.
