Bieber has contributed to the charity album 'Songs For Japan'
The singer, 17, visited Japan to perform several shows and spoke briefly with almost a dozen children, including some of Otsuchi, a city in northeast China that was destroyed by the tsunami of March 11.
A boy Otsuchi read a card to children Bieber, thanking him for visiting.
"We have friends who lost their families and their homes, some have left our school. The city is covered with debris and will take a long time to get things back to normal," he said.
"But we will work hard for it. Please give us courage through his music."
Bieber, who had previously told the children that they "were an inspiration," said that life would improve.
"Things can improve and will improve. There are only good times to come," he said.
Bieber has contributed to the charity album "Songs For Japan," along with artists like Bob Dylan and Lady Gaga, who raised more than $ 5 million for victims of the disaster that left nearly 25,000 people dead or missing.
Bieber was introduced in the city of Osaka, in western China to a packed arena and his upcoming concert at Budokan in Tokyo, which had also sold out.
