Jackson Fans to Spend Night Among his Possessions

It seems like the Michael Jackson craze has not yet stopped. As a matter of fact, it has reached through several parts in Asia most especially in Japan. The Japanese promoter of a collection of his belongings put on display in Tokyo that can make his fans’ dream come true. The event was in commemoration on his first death anniversary starting Sunday, where they can spend one night in the Neverland Collection at the Tokyo Tower, which many considered it as a shrine to the sacred memory of the pop icon’s idol.

The Tokyo Tower is considered to be one of Tokyo’s landmark. Since the opening day, more than 400,000 people have flocked through the venue since the opening of the Jackson exhibition on May 1.

Jackson, also known as the “King of Pop” to many, died on June 25, 2009 from cardiac arrest at a young age of fifty. Many fans of Jackson were shocked to hear the news that sparked a new wave of interest in music, where a documentary film featuring the singer, “This is It”, became a blockbuster cinema hit.

Unlike many other popular artists, what made Jackson unique was his compulsive collection of songs. The truth is, the idea of holding an exhibition of Jackson’s possession may a bit odd to many Western cultures, but in Japan, the tradition of being with the remains and possessions of passed loved ones is such an important ritual.

Fans who are selected randomly will enter the Tokyo Tower venue from 10:30 pm on the night of June 25 and will be able to stay until eight the next morning. Truly, the chance to spend the anniversary of Jacko’s passing with things like clothes he wore, countless awards and iconic videos is such an unforgettable experience.

Meanwhile, this won’t be for free and guests need to pay up to a thousand dollars for the one-time opportunity to sleep on the floor among Michael’s belongings. It was said that many Japanese fans wehre overwhelmed by the emotion when in the presence of so many precious things of their passed loved ones.

But whatever it may be, we just hope we would not see Jackson’s spirit roaming around…

Faith Hill To Start Her Own Fashion Line?

It wasn’t long ago that one of the notable fashion columnist had spoken about Faith Hill’s wonderful taste for clothing most especially when she got a mix of positive reviews for her 2010 Oscar gown. And now, as timely as it is, she may actually be moving into the world of design as her second career.

Last April 22, when she appeared as a guest judge for the finale of this season’s Project Runaway, helping to determine Seth Aaron Henderson as the top winner of the fashion design reality show, she told the press, she felt all natural. And further added that she appreciates for fine detail and hard work as an asset for her job.

Truly, she can buy just that! Faith knows her way around haute couture and was by no means poor in taste. She did a very wonderful job in her judging slot. As a matter of fact, a very good one. The name Faith Hill always rings a bell as one of Nashville’s rare personalities – that always wanted to take some serious experimentation to fashion.

Although her statement would probably mean she wants her own fashion line, it was quite confusing though. As she ascended, “If the right opportunity presents itself, I can guarantee you it would be my passion,” she told the AP. “I would put my heart and soul into making it the best it could possibly be.”

And further said, that when that time comes, she would be designing for women and their kids. Busy moms with great style as she used the term. But I don’t think “busy mom” would be enough. Given her extraordinary line of mixed track records on the red carpet, she can obviously go for more. Perhaps making a better design for Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for their sense of fashions. No offense to the twin!

Happy Feet Makes Kid’s Feet Happy

Do you still remember the movie Happy Feet? Well, I came across the music store and I saw the soundtrack of Happy Feet. One thing that comes to my mind is how this movie really made me happy. I enjoyed this movie and it will surely make kids dance on their feet as well. One part I really enjoyed most is when Mumble sang the song “My Way” to Gloria. I mean Ramon is actually the one who sang it and not Mumble. But, that part is really funny. You know why? It is because if you love someone, you’ll do anything just to win her heart.

“Happy Feet” is a movie that tells about the lives of penguins in Antarctica and a whole bunch of other crazily-funny penguins. It is a place where singing is being equated to being a penguin, the storyline focuses on the lives of a family of penguins that has a problem with their kid Mumble’s tap dancing. Another movie creatively thought about by Warner Brothers/Village Roadshow, paired with a soundtrack containing generous range of songs that will go along with all of the viewers of the movie.

One of the soundtrack artists is Jason Mraz. He has been known for his unique voice and the oozing charisma that comes with his package. Though still young at heart, and with his youth radiating with every strum of his guitar, he is in a way, veteran enough to woo his fans in his live performances, in his music videos and virtually in all of his songs. He first made his name in 2002 with his album “Waiting for my Rocket to Come” and his chart-busting song “Remedy”.

As known by most of his fans, he went from state and state before landing himself in the coffee-house scene; wherein most if his fans adore him because of his exquisite music. Now, Jason Mraz goes beyond astonishing lyrics and vocal prowess, out of the United States, into the Antarctic and ultimately out of the place where humans live.

Jason Mraz sings the song “The Joker” with a rare mash up with Chrissie Hynde for the said movie. The mash up had been receiving commendation for its energy and it seems that it is perfectly fit for the funny antics of the motion picture.

Critics also put emphasis in the participation of Prince in the soundtrack, with him writing the song entitled “The Song of the Heart”. The record also shows off with the closing track “The Story of Mumble Happyfeet” written and produced by motion picture scorer John Powell. Other artists that performed in the soundtrack, who are both contemporary music artists and comes from the cast of characters are: fresh Brittany Murphy, Pink, Robin Williams, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, K.D. Lang, Patti Labelle and a lot more.

The soundtrack album of “Music from the Motion Picture: Happy Feet” is one of the great soundtracks we can dedicate to the kids we love. The movie and its soundtrack is surely a hit for the kids and they will enjoy watching and listening to it as well.
