Michael arrives at Narita Airport in Japan, where large crowds gather ahead of the opening Bad Tour shows.

The arrival turns the start of the tour into a media event before the concerts begin. Airport scenes, hotel coverage and television reports all help frame Japan as the launch point for Michael’s first solo world tour.

This page should later collect airport footage, press photos and fan memories where available. The arrival is one of the moments where the machinery of a world tour becomes visible before the performance itself begins.
