Yes Folks, Michael Jackson is still alive! This morning he arrived at the Tokyo Airport to a swarm of adoring fans! Of course there was tons of screaming and fainting involved (I didn’t know they still did that for Michael?). He’s in Japan for a pair of “fan appreciation events”. One of the events for Japanese business professionals will charge $3,300 for entrance (I guess he’s gotta pay those bills). He explained the reason for choosing Japan: “My friends and fans in Japan have been so supportive of me and my family for many, many years.”

His children also made the trip and were covered in the normal burkas!


Update: For anyone still holding hope out for Michael Jackson, he’s expected to release his comeback album in the third quarter of 2007 on his own label. There have been reports of collaborations with Will.i.am (of The Black Eyed Peas), Teddy Riley, Akon, Chris Brown and 50 Cent. We’ll never know until the album comes out because Michael is notorious for making anyone he works with sign contract preventing them to speak about it. Keep Your Fingers Crossed!
