Kanye West was joined by his wife Bianca Censori on Wednesday night as he flew from Tokyo to Beijing ahead of his latest listening party.
West and studio collaborator Ty Dolla Sign will kick off the event in Haikou on Sept. 15 on behalf of their critically panned three-album Vultures project.
Vultures II, the second of three planned LPs by the rappers, was released without fanfare on August 3 and has since been the subject of brutal reviews. Vultures III still has no release date.
West, 47, is now in Japan with his wife, architect Bianca Censori, who opted not to wear see-through clothing (or any clothing at all) while going through security at Tokyo International Airport.
Instead, she wore a surprisingly conventional cream blouse and matching biker shorts, paired with a casual cap and low-heeled shoes.

Censori wore a surprisingly conventional cream-colored T-shirt and matching cycling shorts, paired with a casual cap and low-heeled shoes.
Censori, 29, waited in an increasingly long line with other travelers as she prepared for a flight to Beijing with her rapper husband and businessman friend Ben Priest.
West’s latest sighting comes after he dissed Adidas before mentioning fellow rapper Drake during his Vultures 2 show in South Korea on August 23.
Before performing his 2007 song, I Wonder, the father of four declared, “This one’s for Drake.”
Later that night, he sang “f**k Adidas” and encouraged the audience to join him, before performing Can’t Tell Me Nothing, another hit from his third studio album, Graduation.
The rapper’s contentious relationship with Adidas, which makes his Yeezy shoes, is well documented.
The German sportswear giant has ended its partnership with West following a series of controversial episodes, including his decision to wear a ‘White Lives Matter’ T-shirt at Paris Fashion Week in 2022.
In February, a source told DailyMail.com that West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian had asked him to make sure Censori was covered up around their children.
“Kim ordered Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that in front of their children. She is really shocked that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.”
West will throw a Vultures listening party in Haikou on Sept. 15 on behalf of his critically panned three-album Vultures project, a collaboration with Ty Dolla Sign.

Censori has earned a notorious reputation for wearing as little clothing as possible during her numerous public appearances with West (pictured, at Milan Fashion Week in February 2024).
“Kanye did the same thing with Kim that he did with Bianca throughout their marriage. The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, she was respected as a person, as an artist.”
On Censori’s decision to wear very little clothing in public, Mark Borkowski, arguably Britain’s leading PR guru, told MailOnline: “Where does it all end? It’s clear she’s very comfortable with her public image and she shows it with this extreme fashion statement.
“I can only think that it is a deliberate act. It seems like a desperate attempt at publicity. It looks as if the living incarnation of the Empress is naked.”
