I've posted this before, but here it is again because it is, in my humble opinion, one of the best tributes to Michael Jackson originating in Japan. Around 1:58, Ken Shimura, who has just confessed to his girlfriend that he becomes a henna ojisan (a weird middle-aged man) when there's a full moon, jumps out of the bushes and starts dancing to the chorus of Thriller played on a Japanese flute. This clip is from the late 80s, I think, or possibly the early 90s.
Rest in peace, MJ.

beautiful tribute in a weird and funky japanese style. I am laughing and crying(is there a japanese saying for that?) thanks to super Lisa-chan

Also interesting, a lot of the background music was taken from the anime OAV series known to english fans as Vampire Princess Miyu.
Which, incidentally, is a classic, though the subsequent TV series is not.
