Bay City Rollers/On TV 1975-1976 Japanese Broadcast Edition

"ON TV 1975-1976" by BAY CITY ROLLERS. Thank you very much. This work is the most shocking video since its inception. This is a professional shot work that depicts ``70s Western music'' itself in an ultra-realistic way, centering on BAY CITY ROLLERS' first visit to Japan. This work contains five TV program pro shots (total length: 2 hours, 51 minutes, 27 seconds). This is a compilation of Japanese broadcasts from the 1970s, when they were at the height of their popularity, with a focus on the 1976/1977 popular music program ``Young Music Show'' of a certain Broadcasting Corporation. 1976 was also the year that Victor released the first home VHS recorder, and at that time only a very wealthy and privileged few were able to record at home. In this work, we have provided the best master of the original broadcast from such selected core BCR enthusiasts. Now, let's introduce each of the five programs. [DISC 1: September 1975: Weekend TV Studio (approx. 50 minutes)] Included in DISC 1 are two television special programs produced in the UK. Although the local broadcast version is famous, this work is recorded in the Japanese broadcast version that was broadcast to encourage people to come to Japan for the first time. The first to appear is a special number recorded in “September 1975” during the “Rumored Bay City Rollers” era. This work is recorded from the "Young Music Show" on May 5, 1976, which was first broadcast in Japan. The content of the program will be familiar to enthusiasts, but the Rollers will passionately perform 16 songs on a stage surrounded by audience seats on all sides. Anyway, the audience is very strong. The bright yellow kyaakyaa bursts out with such force that it threatens to overwhelm the performance, and the whole song is uninterrupted. At first, it seems like the cheering tape has been overdubbed too much, but if you look closely, you can see the members writhing in response to each member's every move, and when the female audience members' faces are close up, their mouths and screams are perfectly synchronized. ing. In fact, the Rollers' performance may be a mime, but the live feeling of the audience is overwhelming. Of course, it feels live because the Rollers are on the scene. The audience members go crazy seeing the members looking like princes, and Leslie jumps into the audience, which brings them to the verge of a riot. It goes beyond the level of "rubbing" and really seems to be torn apart, and if you want to do an action that simulates sex with Eric, "Kyaaa" will replace "Gigyaaaaaaa". Furthermore, some members of the audience cling to the members on stage and refuse to let go, and the rugged security forces do their best to remove them. Maybe it's because of the mime that it can't be stopped, but a group of big pop hits are played in a chaotic space where a real concert would have been interrupted immediately. In addition to the content of the show, this work has Japanese subtitles that are unique to Nippon Broadcasting. In addition to the inter-song MC, it also includes biographical captions and translated lyrics (5 songs). Moreover, the wording sounds very 70's. ``Go as hard as you can!'' ``It's rock and roll,'' ``There's no room without rock,'' ``space relay,'' and other phrases that seem casual but are hard to see in modern times. [DISC 1: September 1976: Eden Studio (approx. 38 minutes)] Next is the “Melody for Youth” era. This is a special program produced at Eden Studio in September 1976, just before their first visit to Japan. This is also the first broadcast version of "July 23, 1977" which was shown on "Young Music Show". It is a famous program among enthusiasts, and it features 12 songs played in mime. However, the atmosphere was quite different from the above-mentioned "Weekend TV", each song was performed in a different set, and there was no audience. In other words, it's like playing ``The Best Ten'' with just the Rollers. There will be no audience, so there will be no MC, but lyrics translations are included with three songs. Even more delicious than that is the telop, which is a unique production. ``This is the show in which Ian Mitchell first appeared on TV as a member of the Rollers.'' ``Ian Mitchell left the Rollers in November 1976. He was replaced by Pat McGlynn.'' The show's historical significance. It will tell you. At the end, the caption reads, ``In December 1976, they came to Japan for the first time.'' It will continue to DISC 2, which will be the first visit to Japan. [DISC 2: First visit to Japan special program December 19, 1976: 101 studio (about 45 minutes)] Therefore, the replacement DISC 2 includes three programs that revive the legendary first visit to Japan. The main event is "Young Music Show," which is a studio live broadcast at a certain broadcasting association that was broadcast on January 8, 1977. ). In other words, it's a program like the Japanese version of ``Weekend TV (DISC 1),'' but the atmosphere is quite different. It is typical of Japan that the birthday and zodiac subtitles are played at the beginning of the introduction of the members, but the audience at the scene are also ``The Western Girls''. They praised the handmade banners, boards, and stuffed animals, and cheered on the volleyball team by chanting, "(Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha) We want ROLLERS!!" In the close-up, each member is half-crying and half-crazy, and the male security guards who put their bodies on the line to guard the members look so frantic that they yell, "Please sit down!" while Leslie yells, "Sit down." , sit down, please,” and they sit down obediently. It's an intense enthusiasm that surpasses even the UK fans of DISC 1, but at the same time it's an enthusiasm that somehow oozes Japaneseness. [DISC 2: First visit to Japan special program “Exclusive appearance! Bay City Rollers” (approx. 10 minutes)] Up to this point, there were three “Young Music Shows” in a row, but this work also includes other valuable TV special programs are also compiled. Contains two types of high-quality masters by the same enthusiast. First of all, "Exclusive appearance! Bay City Rollers" was broadcast on a certain commercial station. The approximately 10-minute special feature features real footage of female fans gathered in front of Akasaka Prince Hotel, and Hiroshi Seki○ (33 years old at the time!!) personally visits the hotel to interview the members. The content of the interview is bland, including impressions of Japan and hobbies, and the overly intrusive manager and Mr. Sekiguchi's half-joking attitude can be a bit off-putting, but that's also part of the charm of the times. Particularly interesting is the passage about the pachinko machine placed at the far end of the room, and when asked, ``Do you know his name?'' the members shout, ``Chinko! Chinko!'' Just then, Mr. Kuchi thrusts in, saying, "Pa, pa. Just don't use my dick." Although the format was prepared by the Japanese staff to kill time, the questions that you know are wrong are unnatural and make you think, ``They're making you say that because they're foreign idols, right?'' [DISC 2: Special program for the first visit to Japan: “Young people should chase their idols now” (approximately 30 minutes)] Now, the most shocking video that appears at the end. This is a 30-minute special program created by a certain broadcasting association, with Seitaro Kuroda serving as host and interviewer, ``Young People Now - Chase Your Idols.'' In terms of content, it is a tour documentary that follows the Japan tour from the chaos at the airport upon arrival to the press conference, concert, and on the way home. However, the main character is not the band, the music, or the hit songs. As the program title suggests, these are the fans at the time who were crazy about Tartan Hurricane. That should be it. The main focus of this special program is "rock as youth culture" rather than BAY CITY ROLLERS. A group of 1,000 people staying up all night at the airport, a huge chaos with people wriggling around like a beehive, a fan club called "Tartan Company" that keeps turning away requests to join, fans chasing moving cars during the Tokyo Marathon, people fainting. The enthusiasm of the time is vividly depicted, such as the fans being carried out of the Budokan. All of them are incredibly powerful. For example, a film concert held as the eve of a concert. Naturally, there were no members present, but a yellow scream erupted throughout the venue, and almost everyone broke down in tears. The girl, who was leaving on the way home, cried so hard that even her parents thought she had been killed, and limped away from the venue. I would still understand if it was a concert in front of the person himself... And what brings out such enthusiasm are ``uncomprehending adults''. This program is not for Western music fans, but is a social documentary aimed at the general public. Mr. Kuroda (37 years old at the time), who was the interviewer, asked the Western music girls bold questions from an old man's perspective, such as, ``What's interesting about rock music?'' ``What's good about them?'' ``Are they replacing your boyfriends?'' I'm going to hit it with this. They ask the overnight students at the airport, ``Won't your parents get angry if you don't go home all night?'' and ask the fans on the street, ``Aren't you studying?'' and ``Are you going to pass the exam?'' In today's world, it would probably be said, ``You're an unnecessary burden, you shitty old man,'' but in the 1970s, girls would respond head-on. There are girls who say, ``I have a test today (I skipped it)'' and ``I don't care about my parents,'' and there are serious girls who say, ``I'm studying hard!'' and ``We didn't do anything wrong.'' When a girl is asked, ``How much pocket money do you have?'' she shyly answers, ``1,750 yen...it's a little bit...'' and everyone shows their faces when they answer. Towards the end, after numerous interviews, Mr. Kuroda gives his own summary, which is also very powerful. ``As my father told me, it would be fine for the time being to listen to music to distract myself, but there was a chance that it would be taken away from me and someone else would take it away from me.'' At most, only the all-nighter group and the girl who skipped the test appear, but ``the bad guy takes it.'' It truly reveals the vitality of the era when the idea that "rock = bad" was pulsating. DISC 1 is the Japanese version of the overseas program, and DISC 2 is the legendary first visit to Japan. This work is a collection of the best professional shots of BAY CITY ROLLERS, but it is not enough. It is a blockbuster video work that takes out the very culture of Western music in the 1970s. I tried my best to put it into words, but I still can't convey the power of the video. The awesomeness and rawness of this content cannot be expressed in words. The radically harsh realism can never be rebroadcast, and there is no other rock/music video program like this in the world. The impact lasted for 2 hours, 51 minutes, and 27 seconds.
