We haven’t checked in with Elliott Yamin in awhile, so figured it was time for an update.

Put this one in the Who Knew? category – his debut record has sold more than 50,000 copies in Japan in the less than two weeks it’s been available. Even cooler is that “Wait for You” is the number one single in the country – over Madonna and Usher.

Elliott also plans to release the album in Taiwan and China.

Most of his time lately has been spent holed up in the studio, where he is working on his next record (sorry, no definite release date yet).

And this weekend, Elliott will be in San Francisco to honor four winners of the “Inspired by Diabetes Creative Expression Competition” (http://www.inspiredbydiabetes.com), which encourages people with diabetes to express their feelings about the disease through written and visual expressions.

Elliott is the spokesperson for the competition, and this weekend’s award ceremony is part of the American Diabetes Association’s 68th Annual Scientific Sessions on June 8 and 9 in San Francisco.
