Round Introduction...14
Cautions concerning use...26
Before a massive crowd, upon a narrow stage...a man magnificently sings, dances and pleads for love and peace. His name is Michael Jackson. He is this era's biggest Super Star.
Michael's name is known by people throughout the world, as everyone is entranced by his singing and dancing. However, no one knew of his true form. His personal life was left wrapped in a mysterious legend...
*
The "Moon Walker" is a messenger of a great love, containing the limitlessness of the universe within its body. Of course, this was Michael Jackson's true form.
In order to battle all the evil that's trampling love and disturbing peace, he's been dispatched to the Milky Way. Finally arriving, he's assumed the form of a musician during his efforts.
One day, an incident occurred where a number of children were said to be kidnapped. There's no doubt that it was likely carried out by the organization of darkness, which is planning to take over the world. For quite awhile, the organization's boss, Mr. Big, has been after Michael.
*
In order to smash the evil organization's boss, Michael begins his fight.
The "Moon Walker" controls the greatest "Cosmic Power" within outer space. However, there's a limit to wielding such power while on Earth, as he can only access it from shooting stars travelling overhead. Furthermore, only the "pure feelings" of the children's love energy can replenish Michael.
With this secret power that has been wished to be entrusted with Michael, he has set off in order to rescue the kidnapped children...
