Michael Jackson, Raymone Bain press release

“I will be attending these special events on March 8th and 9th in Tokyo, Japan,”

said Michael Jackson. “Tokyo is such a wonderful place, and I look forward

to speaking to my friends and fans at both events. My fans have been so

loving and supportive of me, and I am honored to attend an event to thank them

for the love and support they have shown to me, and my family, throughout

the years,” Jackson added.

“We want to be as inclusive as possible to all of Michael’s fans,” explained

Morris. “They have supported him throughout his career, and this is a unique

opportunity for him to thank them. We both wanted to make sure that the

events were planned in a way as to include as many of Michael’s friends and

fans as possible.” Morris said persons holding tickets for the Christmas event

will receive priority consideration for the new dates. Purchasers of tickets can

also return those tickets for a full refund.

Raymone Bain, press release

Tokyo, Japan -- Pop star Michael Jackson and Broderick Morris, CEO, Positive

Productions, have mutually agreed today to postpone the Tokyo Christmas

Celebration, planned for December 19, 2006, at the Tokyo Studio Coast, to

March 2007.

Both men agreed to the change in order to add a second separate event,

a “Fan Appreciation Day,” on March 9, 2007, for Japanese fans, and fans in

other parts of the world who wish to attend, noted Morris, who added that

they selected the March 9th date because it is referred to in Japan as San Ku,

which means, “Thank You.”

The Corporate VIP Event, which Mr. Jackson will meet, greet and take photos

with attendees, be held the day before on March 8, 2007.
