Smiling and waving to screaming fans, Michael Jackson arrived in Japan yesterday for his second visit here in recent
years to host an exclusive party where fans get to spend 30 seconds with the pop icon for $3,500 a pop.
Jackson made his first official foray back into the spotlight after his acquittal on child molestation charges in June 2005 with an appearance in Tokyo to accept an MTV Japan award last year.
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 yesterday afternoon, some carrying signs that read "We love Michael" and "Welcome to Japan."
