Bay City Rollers/On TV 1977-1978 Japanese Broadcast Edition

An unexpected sequel to the blockbuster work that became a record-breaking hit! The second installment of the 70's Japan Broadcasting series is here. The hit series is a collection of TV professional shots that depicts ``70s Western music'' itself in an ultra-realistic way, centering on the BAY CITY ROLLERS. The theme of the first installment, ``1975-1976,'' was the legendary first visit to Japan, but this time, the focus is on BAY CITY ROLLERS' second (October 1977) and third (September 1978) visits to Japan. An archive of four TV special programs featuring characters from PAT McGLYNN'S SCOTTIES to BUSTER. Of course, this is a super masterpiece that was digitized directly from the treasured master by the same enthusiast as the first edition. Now, let's introduce each of the four types of programs. [DISC 1: October 1977 Rollers Return to Japan Special Program (approx. 48 minutes)] The first thing that will appear is the TV special program for the return of the Rollers to Japan, which was realized only 10 months after their legendary first visit to Japan. “Exclusive!” was broadcast on a certain commercial station. Bay City Rollers Special Feature. There was a studio live even in the first visit to Japan, but this will also be the second visit to Japan version. This is a special performance held at "CX#6 Studio on October 9, 1977". The main event was a stage performance (9 songs), in which the princes performed a repertoire centered on 6 songs from their latest work ``Koi no Game'' in front of Western music girls who had hearts in their eyes, just as they did on their first visit to Japan. unfold. The sound of "(Cha cha cha cha cha cha) We want ROLLERS!!" and the cheering sound are still the same as when they first came to Japan, but maybe it was because they had to distance themselves from each other at a large venue, or maybe they were used to the partitions at the venue. Maybe it's because I've come so far, but it doesn't feel as dangerous as it did a year ago. The members also came back to Japan in casual attire and in a much more mature mood. Furthermore, it is the subtitles that convey the sense of the times that is unique to Japanese programs. Immediately after the start, I was grabbed by the handwritten words, ``This is B・C・R!'' It was the heyday of the Tigers and Blue Comets when the Tigers and Blue Comets were in full swing. This program doesn't have an MC or lyrics translation, but instead (?) it's important to note that almost all the songs come with explanations. For example, in "It's A Game", it is introduced as "Sales: 700,000 copies, the biggest hit song, the final number of the concert. B.C.R.'s million-selling song in the United States. The most familiar song for fans", and in "Rebel Rebel" ``A David Boy original song with lead vocals by Eric,'' it says. The final song is "Don't Let the Music Die." This song is the only one without a song commentary, and a Japanese message from the members is played. Just when you thought this sounded too much like a graduation ceremony, the song ends with ``Goodbye Youth.'' It is certainly a very moving ballad, but the way it abruptly ends one's youth is quite forced and touches one's heart. Although the order is different, this program also includes interviews and documentary corners at the beginning and key points. The interviews where he mentions ``I'm tired of tartan'' and Pat McGlynn's departure are interesting, and the scenes of female voice fans resisting when they're about to be picked up by airport security are very realistic. The best part is the scene of moving from the hotel to Nippon Budokan. The part where he hides in a truck transporting musical instruments and escapes from the hotel feels like something out of Operation Spy or Carlos Ghosn, and then the scene where the female fans rush in as soon as they transfer to a hired car is almost like a zombie movie. Although I wonder why they switched from trucks, it is quite impressive to see police officers, broadcast security guards, and employees all rushing to protect the members. [DISC 1: November 1977 Pat McGlinn Japan Visit Special Program (approximately 27 minutes)] Speaking of Pat McGlinn's return to Japan in 1977, one person you will never forget is Pat McGlinn. He had left the Rollers in May of the same year, and released his debut work, ``Pat's Debut! That Girl Is an Idol'', and came to Japan as PAT McGLYNN'S SCOTTIES, passing by the Rollers. And, this work also includes a special program of Pat's edition following the Rollers' edition. This special program also features a studio live performance, performing 5 songs at the same "101 Studio" as when they first came to Japan. It is exactly the “sequel to the first visit to Japan” and the “pat version against the Rollers”. And the performance is amazing. Although the way he raises his right hand while playing the guitar seems innocent, he has rapidly grown not only as a singer but also as a frontman in just one year. The MC also uses Japanese, and ``She'd Rather Be With Me'' also shows the entertainer that she introduces under the Japanese title ``That girl is an idol.'' And the comment corner is confused by the position of being the main character. Along with Brian Spence, he answered the questions given to him in advance, and even though he was nervous, he did his best to answer them, which was a new experience for him. In terms of content, there are a lot of things that I would like to know, such as my favorite food and the type of woman I am, but the one thing that really blows my mind is ``Why did you quit the Rollers?'' Although he was getting stiff, he said, ``This is going to be a long story, but the truth is, I was told to stop.'' I can't say anything more than that. I'll talk to you in the near future. Hello, Rollers.'' Now that I know more about what happened, it's not a shock, but it really shows how Pat, who was 19 years old at the time, was at his best. [DISC 1: July 1977 BUSTER special program (approximately 19 minutes)] DISC 1 includes one more TV program from 1977. This is a special program of BUSTER, whose popularity was divided in half with the Rollers in Japan at the time. The Rollers and Pat featured their visit to Japan, but this is a British-produced special that was broadcast in Japan by Japan's "Young Music Show." In the first broadcast version of “August 6th”, the time signal “5:05” is also very realistic. The content includes interviews and recording scenes in his hometown of Liverpool. In addition, six songs are performed in a studio set similar to "The Best Ten". Although it is a mime, it is valuable just to be able to see BUSTER moving with official quality visuals, and it is also a Japanese version with MC and lyrics translation for two songs "Sunday" and "I'm A Fool", so it's super rare. The caption at the end that says, ``Buster is a group of four young people who grew up listening to the Beatles and are from Liverpool like the Beatles. Their musical journey has just begun'' also has a strong sense of the times. [DISC 2: Special program of the Rollers' third visit to Japan in September 1978 (approximately 47 minutes)] The theme of the replacement DISC 2 is the Rollers' third visit to Japan, which took place about a year later in September 1978. This is a Bay City Rollers special program produced at that time and broadcast on a certain commercial station. This program also features studio performances, and nine songs will be performed on a special set with glittering disco-style lights. There's no audience, so it's like doing a ``Night Hit Studio'' with just the Rollers. The selection is wider than ever, and while they also feature "Rock 'N' Roller" and "Yesterday's Hero," which they played on their first visit to Japan, the focus is on the five songs from their latest work, "Stranger in the Wind." Furthermore, "Wouldn't You Like It" and "You Made Me Believe In Magic" are also delicious repertoires that have not been seen in previous special programs. And, interspersed with such studio performances are off-shots and interviews. It is believed to have been filmed on a holiday during their visit to Japan, and features the members playing Pokebikes, off-road bikes, go-karts, horseback riding, etc. with the three songs "Bye Bye Baby," "It's A Game," and "I Only Wanna Be With You" in the background. The figure is shown. It's also a bit like a PV. And, at the scene, there will be an interview unique to the program. Leslie likes VAN HALEN (!) who just made his debut, Eric talks about his admiration for Paul McCartney, and Alan owns a ranch. The previous two visits to Japan were filled with "chasing frenzy" and "interviews about Japanese girls", but the third time in 1978 was different, and in a calmer mood, he told interesting stories. Masu. This is the second installment of a collection of masterpiece professional shots depicting Rollers expanding their potential from idols to musicians. The first installment, “1975-1976,” explored the social conditions surrounding the Rollers phenomenon in the 1970s, but this work also covers the periphery of the scene, including rivals such as Pat McGlynn and BUSTER, who left the band. It captures the late 1970s from the perspective of a fan who loved the Rollers at the time. The scenery of each song is deeply felt in the heart, and the spaciousness gives it a rich flavor of the times. A sister edition of such a masterpiece series (there are no plans for a third edition). A collection of Japanese Broadcasting TV professional shots on the theme of the second (October 1977) and third (September 1978) visits to Japan. We have archived four TV special programs featuring not only the Rollers, but also PAT McGLYNN'S SCOTTIES and BUSTER. This is a sister work that was made directly to DVD from the original master by the same maniac as the first volume "1975-1976" which deals with the first visit to Japan. In addition to the gorgeous hit-parade studio performance, there is also a graphic shocker that includes an airport security guard, molesting fans, an escape scene in which he hides in an equipment truck to escape from being chased, and Pat bluntly saying, "Actually, I was fired." You can enjoy the video for 2 hours and 21 minutes. Disc 1 (94:03) "Exclusive! Bay City Rollers Special Feature" (47:52) Live at Studio, Tokyo, Japan 9th October 1977 1. Interview 2.
