"MJ is Forever Alive" Tribute to Michael Jackson, Kenichi Ebina

This is my tribute performance to Michael Jackson. From San Francisco HipHop DanceFest 2009. It has video montage which can be played on projector screen during performance.

[@MJrhythmofLove]

By far one of the best dancers I've ever seen. I bet Michael would have loved to work with him.

[@jinroh516]

With people like Kenichi, MJ will be forever alive

[@loocheekwan7596]

Kenichi, you are absolutely fantastic. You never fail to impress the world

[@007xoxo]

I wish there was more light on stage. His talent is beyond amazing!!!

[@sapphyretheoneandonly1862]

OMG! I have to say it.... He did Michael justice! I thought only Michael could work it but YOU, my friend, actually did it! Michael is smiling and dancing with you from Heaven!!! Thank you for one he'll of a treat!!!

[@mamatosh05]

Very creative. If MJ were alive he'd scoop him up to appear in one of his movie videos.

[@glenl4540]

MJ is forever alive :D

[@Milistaier]

Glen Lim mamatosh05 Yes, see, you're both right. They're both dancing together in this very video :D!

[@ChooseCarefully]

He is magical. Michael would love it....

[@CobraScarlett95]

I think Michael would have loved this, if he was still alive.

[@megamegan7774]

HE DEFINITLY DESERVED TO WIN. CONGRATS KENICHI!!!

[@XeresKyle]

Kenichi is awesome! He is such an awesome dancer! I don't know why he doesn't consider himself a dancer because he said "dance-Ish" but he just does improv dancing and tribute dancing. He's awesome as hell!

[@pingubitches5304]

Kenny Nakawaki I think he called his performance on 'America's Got Talent' a dance-ish performance, simply because a good part of the performance included Martial Arts fighting, Matrix Bullet dodging and some party tricks (what he did with his hand going 360 round and the head dropping in a long coat thing) and comedy. A lot of these elements are taken not from dancing, but other aspects, so i think he was saying it was dance heavily inspired and tinged with many other elements. In other words, he is highly unique and offered many new elements to dancing hehe.

[@Karim-Shami]

Best 8 minutes i have ever spent on you-tube !!

[@goomjob2125]

People keep trying to pull the "Asian" card on this guy, "Oh he's just Asian, obviously that's why he can dance, any Asian can do what he does." I dunno, I think he's pretty freakin talented. And this performance was very well done. To combine his level of dance with his level of creativity is truly a sight to behold. Great job, Kenichi. I'm hope that your family back in Japan is very proud of you, you've accomplished a lot over here.

[@joshuamoon5656]

i dunno I'm asian and i can't dance for shit so i don't understand how the asian card is pulled when its not even a card cuz ALL the asians i know can't dance unless they took special classes

[@tac-z3363]

Joshua Moon I lived in SE Asia for 10 years, my wife is Asian and can sing her ass off but has no sense of rhythm when it comes to dancing. I saw some talented dancers in my travels across asia but when you go into a nightclub in Manila or Bangkok most people can not dance. Ive been to discos in Colombia and several other central & south american countries and people were dancing their asses off and nearly all of them great at it. Asians were cultured long before any other race (had written language and great cities while my ancesotrs were still living in caves and wearing fur underwear) and they have contributed many great things to mankind but dancing isnt in their top 10, ;D

[@lucidious5866]

***** *slowly starts to clap* ^-^ yes

[@HDsharp]

Wasn't that long ago when people thought asians couldnt sing or dance!

[@wonntonn5643]

I bet Michael was watching this in heaven, and said to himself "Boy am I glad my legacy still lives on forever."

[@Mein2024mx]

This man born to dance... He's an authentic show man

[@kaiolani133]

MJ is smiling above. He would be so proud to have his talent presented with such dignity. You have honored Michael thank you for having the ability and love to have performed this tribute

[@constanzaanaisbustosflores6046]

Kai - Lani Excuse me, you can tell me the name of the song in the 24r minute?

[@bellaimages]

Damn! He Killed it! No wonder he won AGT in 2013!

[@George12String]

I've never seem such incredibly effortless dancing. Probably the best in the world.

[@ese9513]

I love Kenichi so much. I cried when he won!!! ♥♥♥♥

[@robbincornwall9739]
