In the 12-second video which has gained at least 700,000 views, the 46-year-old Aoki was seen enjoying a local delicacy while being video recorded by crew members. 

In the video’s caption, @azrhazhr said that they took a second ride up an escalator to record Aoki in the restaurant. 

Some commenters on the video believed Aoki was having a serving of nasi lemak, while others were envious of @azrhazhr’s once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a famous celebrity. 

Aoki, whose real name is Steven Hiroyuki Aoki, was in Kuala Lumpur over the weekend to headline the Out of the World (OOTW) music and water festival, a three-day event from January 19 to 21, 2024, at the iconic KL Base in Sg Besi – an unforgettable locale for water enthusiasts and music connoisseurs alike.

Aoki made a return to Malaysian shores after nearly a decade, igniting fervent anticipation among fans eagerly awaiting the resurgence of his dynamic stage presence. 

The festival also marked the Malaysian debut of James Hype – a musician whose technologically innovative DJ skills have propelled him to viral fame – as well as the DJ duo Nervo. – January 22, 2024
