Introducing the latest definitive edition that includes the original non-telop version and TV broadcast version of the Beatles Budokan Budokan matinee performance video on July 1st, remastered in 2020! Until the June 30th sound source was discovered on that OG LP, the only Beatles Budokan performance was the afternoon session on July 1st. That night, Japanese people held their breath as they watched a British group perform at the Budokan in front of a cathode ray tube. In 1966, when it was unimaginable to go to a rock concert, or when tickets were extremely difficult to obtain, many people were able to experience the Beatles' performance in Japan on TV. However, since the late 1970s, the footage from June 30th has been broadcast on TV many times, and since it was recorded on home VCRs, the position of the Budokan footage has reversed. Because of this, the June 30th performance has been a major feature for a long time, and on the other hand, the July 1st performance is no longer easily viewable. This has also been seen since the 1970s with images converted from video sources to color 8mm, but it is natural that there is a limit to the image quality of images converted from video sources to 8mm film media. The release of this version has been awaited. In this way, the video version of July 1st, which was thought to not exist in Japan unlike June 30th, became widespread in the early 1990s in good condition. Now, it has been upgraded to the point where you can enjoy it in excellent image quality, including the undercard, and the DVD set ``LIVE AT BUDOKAN 1966 DEFINITIVE EDITION'', which is still a best seller, contains the best version of both stages. ”. However, this time, a new item specializing only in the video will be released on July 1st. First of all, the original video is the same as “LIVE AT BUDOKAN 1966 DEFINITIVE EDITION”, but the video has been newly remastered for this release. This alleviated the noisy parts of the video where it was blurry and noisy. It would be easier to understand if you compare the red shirts they wear inside their suits, or the parts where the bodies of each member's guitars are reflected. It has a calm image quality with less noise that is close to the version recorded in the anthology, and because of the current remastering with advanced technology, it is a sharper image with more details than the anthology. In this upper version, the first disc contains only the stage footage of the Beatles and the opening act. However, this alone is not the point of this release. Rather, the highlight of this time is the fully restored version of the television broadcast recorded on the second disc. For "LIVE AT BUDOKAN", we have already attempted to edit the July 1st video to be closer to that day's broadcast by including commercials. The footage from that day's broadcast was recorded by people in the entertainment industry on an expensive and rare home reel-to-reel VCR that the owner owned at the time. The appearance of this video caused a lot of attention a few years ago. Through the excavation of this video, the reality of the program that was broadcast from 9:00 PM on July 1, 1966 became clear at once. Needless to say, the footage of July 1st that we are currently familiar with is original material and is different from the state of broadcasting on that day. It has been revealed for some time that the actual broadcast included subtitles introducing the performers, based on images taken on a cathode ray tube. This was revealed in more detail through the excavation of the footage. Therefore, in the second version recorded this time, based on those materials, we recreated almost all of the subtitles that were inserted into the live video broadcast on the night of July 1st. Of course, the font used for the captions is similar to, or even the same as, the font used. This finish is so natural that at first glance you might be under the illusion that the master of the program itself at that time has finally been discovered. In particular, the toothpaste sponsor subtitles that appear many times during the program are full of Showa era vibes and are full of nostalgia. Back in 1966, it was difficult to get tickets legitimately, but countless people were able to go to Budokan by buying them and applying. In addition to that, the commercials that appear here and there, albeit in black and white, fit in perfectly, and the special program that aired from 9:00 pm on July 1st has become a tear-jerking experience that you can truly experience! It was hard to tell from the video of July 1st, which we have been accustomed to seeing for many years, but when we saw the subtitles, the first half of "Rock And Roll Music" had a series of close-ups of the members, starting with John. You can clearly see that the camera layout was designed to introduce the members by adding subtitles with each person's name. Especially in an era when live performances by rock bands were extremely rare to be broadcast on TV, this kind of production was indispensable. Even in recent years, when it comes to live footage of rock bands, the title of the song is displayed every time the performance begins, as can be seen in the various ``Japanese Broadcast Versions'' that have been released recently. Now that it's 1966, the ``1960s feel'' that appears in the font of the caption that appears in each song is even more appealing. That's why this time as well, the second bonus includes the Japanese broadcast version of 1967's "All You Need Is Love" with simultaneous interpretation narration from the world live broadcast. In this way, this is a groundbreaking release that brings us closer to the night broadcast of July 1, 1966 than ever before. The stunning reproduction, which has never been seen before, is a ``Showa feeling'' that not only enthusiasts but all generations should experience. I won't be going out on the night of the 1st of next month, and with this DVD, which recreates not only the commercials and the opening act but also the captions from that day, you can travel back in time to that night on July 1st, 1966, which attracted the attention of all of Japan. please. You are sure to enjoy it!
