内容説明
The #1 New York Times bestseller! Michael Jackson’s one and only autobiography his life, in his words.
With original Foreword by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a new Introduction by Motown founder Berry Gordy, and an Afterword by Michael Jackson’s editor and publisher, Shaye Areheart.
“I’ve always wanted to be able to tell stories, you know, stories that came from my soul. I’d like to sit by a fire and tell people stories make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. I’d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. I’ve always wanted to be able to do that. Imagine how the great writers must feel, knowing they have that power. I sometimes feel I could do it. It’s something I’d like to develop. In a way, songwriting uses the same skills, creates the emotional highs and lows, but the story is a sketch. It’s quicksilver. There are very few books written on the art of storytelling, how to grip listeners, how to get a group of people together and amuse them. No costumes, no makeup, no nothing, just you and your voice, and your powerful ability to take them anywhere, to transform their lives, if only for minutes.” Michael Jackson, in Moonwalk
From the 1988 edition:
Megastar Michael Jackson’s singularly brilliant career and intensely private lifestyle have become a magnificent obsession for millions of rock fans and celebrity watchers throughout the world. His double-platinum singles rocket to the top of the music charts with a velocity equaled only by the inevitable accompaniment of wild rumors about his eccentric personal life. Now for the first time, Michael Jackson breaks the fiercely guarded barrier of silence that has surrounded him in a remarkably candid and courageous book Moonwalk.
In this intimate and often moving personal account of Michael Jackson’s public and private life, he recalls a childhood that was both harsh and joyful but always formidable. Michael and his brothers played amateur music shows and seamy Chicago strip joints until Motown’s corporate image makers turned the Jackson 5 into worldwide superstars. Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 have combined sales of over 200 million albums. He talks about the happy prankster days of his youth, traveling with his brothers, and of his sometimes difficult relationships with his family over the years. He speaks candidly about the inspiration behind his music, his mesmerizing dance moves, and the compulsive drive to create that has made him one of the biggest stars in the music business and a legend in his own time. The Guinness Book of World Records lists Thriller as the biggest-selling-album of all time.
In Moonwalk, Michael Jackson shares his personal feelings about some of his most public friends…friends like Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, Fred Astaire, Marlon Brando, and Katharine Hepburn. He talks openly about the crushing isolation of his fame, of his first love, of his plastic surgery, and of his wholly exceptional career and the often bizarre and unfair rumors that have surrounded it.
Illustrated with rare photographs from Jackson family albums and Michael’s personal photographic archives, as well as a drawing done by Michael exclusively for this book, Moonwalk is a memorable journey to the very heart and soul of a modern musical genius.
With original Foreword by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a new Introduction by Motown founder Berry Gordy, and an Afterword by Michael Jackson’s editor and publisher, Shaye Areheart.

「自分を信じる方法」がここに。,

レビュー対象商品: Moonwalk (ハードカバー)
この本は、私にとって…いえ、多くのマイケルファンにとっては必読の、それどころか二冊買いの作品ではないでしょうか。第五章のこの文章に、私はノックアウトされました。 " You can't do your best when you're doubting yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, who will?" （自分自身を疑っていたらベストは尽くせない。自分が自分を信じられなかったら、いったい誰が信じてくれる？） 彼の天才は、その歌やダンスや発想の豊かさ、想像力の豊かさ以上に、それだけ「自分をとことんまで信じぬける」ところにあったのではないでしょうか。たとえ周りに馬鹿にされても批判されても彼は信じ続けたし、周りが諦めても妥協しても彼は完璧を追求した。 同じページで彼はこうも言っていました。 " Your mind is powerful enough to help you attain whatever you want." （ 人の思いは、望みを叶えられるくらい強いものだ） とにかく信じ続け、思い続け、自分を磨き続けるのだと。そうすれば絶対に「夢は叶う」と。 これらの言葉に、私は本当に勇気づけられました。だって、「自分を信じる」ことは世界中の誰だってできるからです。変わりさえすれば。 生まれ持った才能があるとかないとかそういうことじゃなく。 冒頭で２冊買いだと書いたのは、１冊は読みまくって特に感銘を受けたところには線を引いて、何度だって自分を勇気づけたいからです。迷ったり揺らいだりしたときに。そしてもう１冊は大事に保管します。ほかの方のレビューでもありましたが、装丁もいいですよ。マイケルの好きな赤・黒・金でデザインされていて、ちゃんと思い入れを持って作ってくださったのだとありがたく思います。 また、間に入っている写真も見たこともないのが多いです。かっこいい！！！です。 ぜひたくさんの人に触れて感銘を受けてほしい、素晴らしい本です。

英語自体もそんなに難しくないので、分からない単語を辞書で引いたりしながら読めば、なんとか読めました。まだ読み途中ですが、なかなか面白いです。 表紙や裏表紙（カバーを外しても）とてもお洒落な作りになっています。 なかなか丈夫で、しっかりしています。 この本は1988年のMoonwalkを再発行したものであり、最初にはBerry Goedyの前置きみたいのが付け加えられていました。 写真もたくさんあり、白黒のものからカラーのもの（見開きにできる写真も）までありました。 写真をなんとなく見ているだけでも、とても面白いと思います。

噂どおりでした。彼についての他のどんな特集本より手元にあるべき本の1冊です。 素直な彼自身の言葉やイラストなのですから、別の次元といえばそうですが。 気がはやって、英語版を読むのがまどろっこしい時は、日本語訳版を読んで、余裕がある時は彼の選んだ言葉のままを読み解く…。 Michaelの事を知りたい人、彼の人間性に触れたい人、必読。 カバーを取ると、赤と黒と金の配色の、しっかりと装丁された表紙が現れます(文字が金色)。
