Michael Jackson returns to Japan (Video)

March 4th, 2007 by James

As the video above shows, Michael Jackson arrived in Japan today and was greeted by hundreds of fans at the airport. More from the Boston Herald:

TOKYO – Smiling and waving to screaming fans, Michael Jackson arrived in Japan on Sunday for his second visit in recent years to host an exclusive party where admirers pay $3,500 to spend 30 seconds with the pop icon.
A relaxed-looking Jackson in trademark sun glasses and black leather jacket was ushered by guards past hundreds of screaming Japanese fans at Narita Airport on Sunday afternoon, some carrying signs that read ”We love Michael” and ”Welcome to Japan.”
At the VIP party, guests will get to mingle with Jackson, spending 30 seconds to one minute each of exclusive face time with him, according to organizers. It was unclear whether the star will perform any songs.
[..]
Jackson’s VIP meet-and-greet party was scheduled for Thursday, with the fan art contest on Friday. It was not clear when Jackson would leave Japan.
Jackson, 48, is not obligated to perform at either event, and promoters refused to comment on how much he would be paid.

The kids in my classes might joke about Michael Jackson being creepy, but they still love to sing Jackson’s “We Are the World.” If the media reports are accurate, there are a quite a few diehard Jacko fans here in Japan: Maybe he should consider living here instead of in Bahrain?

Apparently they’re paying $3600 each for a minute in his company. Maniacs!

He was the very famous in Japan in 1980s and early 1990s. Superstar in Japan. But still, he is still the famous in Japan, more then the Janet Jackson. He needs to go psychiatrist, but his entertainment is still excellent.

Michael Jackson is the best performer ever and a very good person. He’s just been missunderstood. And stop judging him for something that is not true, and try looking at the good sides of his personality! “Before you judge me try hard to love me, look within my heart and ask.Have you seen my childhood” and “You laugh because I’m different. I laugh because you are all the same” – said Michael.
HE IS THE BEST and he looks soooo good at this airport. I am SO jealous of these japanese fans!

I LOVE YOU MICHAEL, don’t ever stop being the best, in every single way!
