TOKYO (AP) — A relaxed-looking Michael Jackson smiled and waved at screaming fans as he arrived in Japan on Sunday for his second visit in recent years to host an exclusive party and sponsor a fan art competition.

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.

Jackson, in trademark sun glasses and black leather jacket, was ushered by guards past hundreds of screaming Japanese fans at Narita Airport on Sunday afternoon, some carrying signs that read "We love Michael" and "Welcome to Japan."

At the VIP party, guests paying $3,500 will get to mingle with Jackson and spend 30 seconds to one minute each of exclusive face time with the Gloved One, according to organizers. It was unclear whether the star will perform any songs.

While in Tokyo, the star will also host a fan art contest for Japanese who cannot afford VIP tickets, organizers Davis, Bain and Associates said in an e-mail.

Three winning artists chosen by Jackson will have brunch with the star and their picture taken together.

Jackson, 48, one of the best-selling artists of all time, has lived abroad since his acquittal, forsaking his Neverland Ranch in California for residences in Bahrain, France, and a castle in Ireland.

He told The Associated Press in January he was back in the United States, where he was widely reported to be pursuing business deals in Las Vegas. "I love Japan," he said at the time. "It is one of my favorite places in the entire world."

Jackson's VIP meet-and-greet party was scheduled for Thursday, with the fan art contest on Friday. Promoters refused to comment on how much he would be paid.

so then comes the question, would you rather be able to charge $3,500 for 30 seconds in your presence, or be able to go down to the liquor store or mall without being bombarded with 3,500 screaming fans? that thizz the question

cool, thats actually not that much money, thats only 1,080,000 a day. that would be sweet if i did that, but on a much smaller scale. lets say, 5.15 an hour just to hang out wit me, same as minimum wage (if im wrong, please adjust it for the national average). after just a couple years, i'll be rich (maybe, probably not)!


edit: spelling

id pay you for that. id pay for you to kill him with a punch. and i dont normally support killing people. but u can kill him, u know why? because he stopped making music like "p.y.t. (pretty young thing)"-which is the heart and soul of all music that is heartful and soulful
