Hi *Billie Jean*!
I love cherry blossom trees too. They are called SAKURA in Japan. In Michael's first visit to Japan, he used to listen to Japanese traditional songs, which he liked, from a record attached in the hotel room. 'SAKURA SAKURA' is one of the songs. On a stage, he sang to himself "sa-ku-ra-♪ sa-ku-ra-♪…" and smiled shyly at the audience. :wub:
Hi! Did any of you go to see Michael when he went to Japan in 2006 or 2007? I flew to Japan in 2007 to see him, and went to the VIP event and Fan Appreciation Day - I wonder if I met any of you!
Oh no *hugs*omg dont even get me started.....i was living in japan back in 2006 when he came to visit...i had left japan to visit the states the DAY before he flew into tokyo for the VMA's....then he came to visit one of the bases where i worked at three months after i moved to europe from japan in 2007....god i was soooooo upset
I got tears in my eyes when I saw this

You are so generous in Japan and truly loves MJ.
You are wonderful.
Hi, dangerous2000watts
I'm sorry not to know about them. :no:
But I'm sure their feelings for MJ haven't changed at all compared to before.
Keep your chin up, ok? :better:
Hi Japanese fans
May I ask you guys something?
Have you guys heard of 'This Is It Band Tour'?
They come here next month, but we don't know anything about yet.
I saw a comment that they will visit Japan this year on a fan forum, too.
Does anyone know 'What entertainment company' is responsible for?
The articles about the concert only say 'one American -based entertainment company and two Korean ones' are working together.
If you guys know anything about the concert or get to know about the concert, don't forget to keep me posted, Will you?
^
There's something strange about the concert. Michael Bearden (The music director and key board player) doesn't know anything about the concert nor Orianthi is coming. It seems MJJ production doesn't know about the concert either which is very skeptical. Now I can't help being sorta skeptical. FISHY
If it is not allowed by AEG or MJJ production, I hope it won't happen.
It is said You know Yun Ho(from Tohoshinki, 동방신기) would appear to dance or sing to Michael's song. Ha Ha Ha... I'm sure many MJ fans here will hate to see someone dancing to Michael's music. If the dancers and Travis are not coming, what's the point of the concert?
Does a sansei count? If so, HEY THERE!
Finally a topic like this Oh, wait, it's not even new. Just didn't saw before.
I agree.
Tohoshinki is not so bad.But Michael is SPECIAL. unk:
I read one Japanese fan's post who had a telephone from Billboard LIVE.
They apologized her and said it'll never be re-planned. So unfortunately.
About Thriller LIVE,I'm sorry I made you misunderstand. :doh:
It was planned last Dec and canceled this Jan.It happened very recently.
So they are totally odd.
Anyway I really hope 'This Is It Band Tour' will be held at Korea without fail.:angel:
I developed a new found respect for SMAP when they met Michael and paid tribute to him. Another singer who was influenced by Michael Jackson that you guys should check out is Daichi Miura:

Trust me, his live shows are REALLY GOOD, and I think his "Who's The Man" album is one of the best albums of 2009. You wouldn't regret listening to his music.
BTW, do any of you Japanese fans want to set up something Michael related for later in the year? I hope to be coming to Japan by September, and I'd love to set up some kind of meet-up, party, karaoke, or something. It's something I didn't get the chance to do while I was there in 2006, and I would love to do it to always keep Michael's memory alive in Japan.
Hello,i'm japanese too.

Hello...?
It's OK. I've got a blister on my foot.
My GETA pinch me! :doh:

よろしくおねがいします~。
