"It's important we help."
Gaga launched the white wristbands with their prayerful message written in red in English and Japanese, via a Twitter message on Monday, three days after a 9.0-magnitude quake struck off the coast of northeastern Japan, triggering a killer tsunami.
The wristbands are available for $5 and can be pre-ordered on Gaga's official online store.
All proceeds will go directly to Japan relief efforts, according to the site.
The site does not say if the singer has designated a specific charity to receive the funds or if she will set up her own, but on her official Facebook page, Gaga has posted a link to a fundraising site for Save the Children's Japan relief effort.
Gaga has more than 30 million fans on Facebook and in excess of eight million followers on Twitter.
