One Year On...
2009 really was a horrible year for the deaths of many great artists all over the world, which of includes MJ himself. In tribute to his 1st anniversary (how time flies, eh), I'm uploading a bunch of pictures from the MJ events that I attended in Tokyo over the last year. Quote:
But many thanks Karasuma for the global dance videos, I'm sure many events will pop up for the anniversary this week, feel free to upload and share in there As for me: Meguro Shoukan in Meguro (this was officially my first time clubbing in Japan and it was in a very small joint, with lovely people and warm atmosphere. Good times had, though not many pics on the MJ stuff, (it was 80's night) so just a few pics here) Club Axxcis in Shibuya This was an amazing event that'll forever remain a happy memory. It was my first "day club", non-smoking event, open to kids and grannies, and ran from 2pm-7.30pm (it was extended for us). Lots of performances, dances and good times <3 This event was to celebrate what would have been his 51st Birthday. I hope they have another for what would be his 52nd. Club Casablanca in Shinjuku First club in the red light district that I went to, but it was surprisingly small and again a quiet family affair. Non smoking (I love the Japanese fans for deciding this), had a cuuuuute 9 year old impersonator performing all night as well as other MJ impersonators, dancers (and random salarymen, getting together and performing Smooth Criminal) xD and a pole dancer (My first time seeing one and she was jaw, droppingly amazing) The evening was to air 'This is it' Movie around 0.30am but I caught the last train home. This event was for Valentines day. Your physical presence may be gone, but your legacy will forever live on... Eternal thanks for the music and the magic

Michael Jackson was awesome. I really liked most of his work, even though I'm not into pop. The Earth Song is just plain epic. Too bad his success went downhill in the previous two decades. Now that he's dead however, his music is booming...maybe that's why he is dead.
I think I read somewhere that he was the overall most successfull artist of the 20th century. I could be mistaken though, can someone confirm or deny that?

Or read a nicer compilation of his life and works on BBC, from this link: One year later, where things stand: Quote:
It's the same with Elvis and definitely the same with Tupac (the dude's made millions by being dead) No doubt SME, will be reeling in the cash with whatever they can release form MJ over the next decade (and being happy for it). But he didn't need to die to help get his career back. The sold out tickets for his concert proved that, millions would support him regardless and we'd have loved to have been able to see him on stage where he belongs the one last time. Perhaps, it was all our comeuppence that he passed away when he did....

It doesn't even feel like it's been a year since his passing.. He was such an amazing person and a great inspiration to soo many of us. I loved watching him sing and dance, but what I really loved about him is how he was helping the world, through his music You'll be missed forever MJ!

Time truly flies, huh...
Miss ya Michael.
It's a blessing to see the spirit of your music videos still live on even if you are no longer on this earth (the Hollywood tonight video), it made me feel like a kid back in the 90’s again. You've inspired millions, created countless stars like no other human being has, have revolutionised love for dance and music as we know it beyond genres. Hope you're resting in peace away from our own pathetic human race who love to scorn, judge and admonish those they can't understand or have no care for. The rest of us will still continue trying our best with our own dreams and let our own light shine to others as best as we can <3 Seeing this new vid just brought a tear to my eye. (esp from 2.58 in the vid) The story, the dance scenes, the essence of 'fun' that is rarely or no longer seen in today's pop/urban vids took me back to the 90s when he was releasing often. Rather, this confirmed what I felt back as a kid to be true as I feel it now some odd 20 years later Uploaded March 9th, so fairly recent, check it out ^^ I'm sure as America enters the 25th, the news feeds will increase, but if any of you lot snag some 'interesting' ways fans are remembering around the world, please, add into here, let us know Quote:

Miku Miku Dance project, eh.
Sometimes the Japanese, truly to outdo us all around the world xD Makes me wonder how bloody long it must have taken to program/design the entire 'bad' video tho :\ Nice vid Saintess, though big skirts are wasted with that dance, so much leg work, the mini skirt girl looked better with the performance It seems from the MMD series there's also Miss Miku herself (and some other characters) dancing to 'Bad', that vid is in spoilers as I'm bringing back an old fave of mine, below it Spoiler:

It was actually done with a tongue-in-cheek, the witch in the middle (Marisa) is known to be a kleptomaniac in the Touhou-verse, always stealing things from other people without the victims knowing that it is her, hence she is sort of a "smooth criminal". Quote:

Can't view it, youtube's being lame and region blocking it for Japan (or outside US?)
So can't see. I was asking for fan based stuff around the world but looks like the MJ related producers were already ahead of me. The 'Behind the Mask' fan project, actually called fans to submit video's for different parts of the overall video which they've compiled together. Registrations are long closed of course, but here's how they were auditioning. The video was released worldwide exclusively on June 14th 2011, I guess just in time for his 2nd anniversary. The video can be watched on the website here, while the behind the scenes is linked below. Again, region blocked on my end so I can't see it (short of messing with youtube's settings or something, but if it's IP based then I'm screwed) -.-;; Anyways, enjoy the vid, my thoughts on it where summed up here.
