Pop star Michael Jackson appeared in public in Tokyo for the first time since his acquittal on child molestation charges last year, accepting a music award and thanking "all the people who believed in me".
Introduced to an adoring crowd at a Tokyo stadium as "the king of pop, the king of rock and the king of soul", Jackson flashed a quick "peace" sign as he walked on stage to the sound of one of his biggest hits, Thriller.
"I'd like to say to the Japanese people from the bottom of my heart, 'I love you very, very much'," the 47-year-old entertainer said.
