Recently was approached by the Pacific Citizen for an interview. With MJ’s recent passing, they wanted to ask me some questions about Michael Jackson tributes in Japan. Fellow blogger Neil Duckett was also interviewed. Was pleasantly surprised when I saw his name when reading the article.
A little about the Pacific Citizen.
Celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, the Pacific Citizen is an award-winning Asian Pacific American semi-monthly newspaper with a distribution of 30,000 throughout the United States and Japan. Its popular Web site averages over 450,000 hits per month.
An excerpt.
Ken Lee moved to Japan from Malaysia five years ago to study engineering at Keio University. He regularly blogs about his experiences in Japan, and lately that includes media coverage of the late Michael Jackson.
Lee said he has been a Jackson fan since he purchased the album “Bad,” which was released in 1987. The graduate student was watching TV at home when news of the King of Pop’s death flooded Japan’s television networks.
Any readers from California? Full article here.
Still can’t believe Michael’s gone though. I always believed he would be around long enough for me to introduce him to my kids (…when I have kids).
Just like what Pink said, “he’ll live in his music and in our iPods”. Amen!
