- On June 29, 1987, Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo announced the singer's plan to embark on his first solo world concert tour. Sponsored by Pepsi, the tour began in Japan, marking Jackson's first performances in the country since 1973 as part of The Jackson 5. The first nine scheduled concerts that began on September 12 sold out within hours, and five more were added due to high demand.
Over 600 journalists, cameramen and fans waited for Jackson's arrival to the country at Tokyo's Narita International Airport.
His pet chimpanzee Bubbles, who took a separate flight, was greeted by more than 300 people.
A chartered jumbo jet was used to carry 22 truckloads of equipment, along with Jackson's entourage of 132 for the tour. The stage set used 700 lights, 100 speakers, 40 lasers, three mirrors, and two 24-by-18 foot screens. Performers wore 70 costumes, four of which were attached with fiber optic lights.
While in Tokyo, Australian pop music critic Ian "Molly" Meldrum conducted an exclusive interview with Jackson and DiLeo that was featured on 60 Minutes in the United States and Australia.
On September 18, Jackson was handed the Key to the Osaka Castle by Yasushi Oshima, the mayor of Osaka. He was accompanied by Bubbles, who was the first animal allowed inside the city's town hall. Jackson dedicated his Japanese concerts to Yoshiaki Hagiwara, a five-year-old boy who was kidnapped and murdered, and gave ¥1,614,701 (around $15,017) to the parents of Hagiwara.
Attendance figures for the first 14 dates in Japan totalled a record-breaking 450,000. Crowds of 200,000 were what past performers could manage to draw for a single tour. Nippon Television was a co-sponsor with Pepsi for the Japanese dates.
Jackson performed five concerts in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane in Australia in November. While off stage, he spent time visiting sick children at their homes in the Sydney suburbs.

He was loved worldwide
It goes to show that no other superstar can top his greatness
Even though they don’t speak English they still loved his talent and artistry undeniable Talent
I REALLY ENJOYED💯👍THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ICONIC👑 MICHAEL✊ JACKSON 🙏👑💫🥰🥰🥰 RIPOWER💗
He was at his utmost handsome in the 80’s. That’s the look that comes into my mind and memory when I think of Michael Jackson. It’s painful to see what he looked like at the end of his life.
I idolized him sooo much
Hee heee
I just couldn't understand why he didn't like how gorgeous he was. To want to change the way he looked so much..?
His father, that's who.
Michael was called ugly by his own father. It destroyed your self-esteem
@True
Thank his father Joseph for that.
Vitiligo and lupus did a number on him
I wish Michael was still here. His celebrity is really unparalleled. No-one but him could command this attention. I feel so lucky I got to see him so many times in concert.
Thank you 💘☺️
#MichaelJackon was like #Jesus when he appears #RipKingOfPop😁🐐🎤🎶🌍
Don't know why😧🤷🤧🙈🙈🤡
Exactly
this has to be in the new michael jackson movie cause his level of fame in every country is insane
“Anything to say to micheal “. konnichiwa beech!!
Huh?
Lol
RIP KING! Today is his death day 😔
Thank you for this video!
I wonder if the guy from Seattle ended up getting into the grunge scene a few years later lol.
He looked his best right here and he should have stayed that way….such talent was wasted away because he had to depend on stuff to wake him up and stuff to put him to sleep…I do wish he was still here..
You're that gullible to believe all that "depend on stuff to wake up" shit.
None of his talent was wasted! He worked his as.s off since 5 years old!
7:30 I see Namco in the back!
Haha Packman and Mappy era
Ugh, these comments. 🙉 Thanks, Hezakya, I love the Japanese. Well, except for those Elvis dancer clubs, lol.
Salaam ✊🏾
Ooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
7:57 An American friends with Japanese people
Wholesome
Cool-you have any J5 material?
The BWT was great but the moment when the 1988 leg started it was clear that MJ wouldn’t be able to sleep because he performed a row every day which is crazy but he made it through and his vocal cords sems to be hoarse on Tokyo shows 1988 and L.A 1989 shows and no wonder why MJ didn’t want to tour after because it was to exhausted too sing live and do some high danced coregraphic moves!!!!
I remember in his autobiography: Moonealker Michael had mentioned that his Bad Tour would be his last.
@@alyssajones4368He thought but when Ryan died he wanted to perform life just for his friend Ryan and Heal The World foundation😢
@@wilmmerwest3876 Yep
Lol those interviews were awkward. Some of them were to shy to speak.
@MsgottaThink Actually they do😂
That reporter so annoying
This is kinda cringe to watch. idk why they couldn't have had translators.
2nd
MJ is more famous than Jesus
@@brendagray3374 Amen!
Jesus ain't did Shit... Ain't Save Nobody... Didn't even get No Pussy have No kids no Nothing... Lol
Jesus wasn't a child molester
Micheal wanted to buy the elephant man's bones that man was sick
@@leawaldrop1050 mj wasn’t a child molester either.
