HoTRoD 2 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Michael Jackson is to star at a lavish Christmas party in Tokyo next month - but he will not be singing. Some 1,600 fans will pay up to 400,000 yen (£1,787) each to enjoy dancers, bands and gospel singers at the event, to be held on 19 December. However, Jackson's role is to simply sit down to dinner with guests while listening to his recorded music. Holders of the most expensive tickets will get to sit with Jackson and have a group picture taken with him. Revellers with 200,000 yen (£895) "gold" tickets will receive an autographed portrait. The singer will be hoping to making a better impression on his fans after being booed offstage during his last public appearance at the World Music Awards in London earlier this month. He sang only a few lines of his hit We Are The World. Jackson said there had been a "misunderstanding" after fans said they had been told he would sing his hit Thriller at the bash. He was also booed before the event when he failed to stop and meet the hundreds of supporters who had waited for hours to see him on the red carpet. Jackson last visited Tokyo in May this year when he picked up the MTV Japan legend award. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Why would you be a fan of somebody that you might be booing at some stage? I don't understand this mentality... Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 So who are the suit gaijins here that work in Akasaka, Tokyo? I was one. And I ate frequently at a poor mans type of yakitori joint for lunch. It wasn't poor quality, just more simple and cheaper than the real deal. For 1000 yen you got some nice ginger pork and bean shoots and stuff whilst sitting at the big bbq table yakitori thingy. Anyway, if you have been to this everyday forgettable place on the basement floor of a nowhere street in Akasaka then you would have seen the photographs of Michael Jackson when he ate there. I have on idea why he ate there at a salary man lunch spot, but he did. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Is "on idea" one idea or no idea? The Jackson Five were shite, and went downhill from there. Link to post Share on other sites

thumbsup 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Unfortunatley the gig is cancelled. What a shame: ------- US pop star Michael Jackson has postponed an appearance at a Christmas party in Japan, where tickets cost up to 400,000 yen (£1,787). Jackson was due to attend the party in Tokyo on Tuesday, although he was not planning to perform. The event has been put back to 8 March, with a fan appreciation event being held the following day.
