Eric Carmen passed away suddenly in March 2024. Many people are still confused by the sudden news of his passing. This week, we will introduce the iconic footage of the only Japan tour that was realized in his career. This work was filmed at the Nakano Sun Plaza performance on February 10, 1980. This is a multi-camera professional shot. At that time, Eric appeared as a guest at the World Song Festival in 1979, and then he also realized a full-scale Japan tour. It is a good opportunity, so let's start by looking back at the memorable dates. ・January 30: Hokkaido Welfare Pension Hall・February 1: Kyoto Hall・February 2: Festival Hall・February 4: Aichi Prefectural Labor Hall・February 5: Shibuya Public Hall・February 6 + 7: Nakano Sun Plaza・February 9: Kanagawa Prefectural Citizens Hall・February 10: Nakano Sun Plaza ←★ This work ★ This was a one-off Japan tour of all 9 performances. The Nakano Sun Plaza performance in this work was an additional performance set on the final day. This show was recorded as a professional shot and broadcast on commercial broadcasting stations. "Inside Story" and "Tonight You're Mine" were also released on the official website, but this work is a precious 45-minute air check video of that time. Although the screen is a little sweet, it is difficult to call it "official class", but the master freshness with almost no dubbing marks is outstanding. (It seems that Japanese broadcasting was still in the early stages of developing rock shooting) The camera work makes extensive use of Eric's facial expression, and even the wrinkles of his double eyelids are clearly visible. It is a precious Carmen in Japan that is depicted with such beautiful images. Although the entire show is not complete with only 9 songs edited according to the broadcast frame, the condensed hit songs were also special. This work not only includes the main pro shots of the visit to Japan, but also bonus footage, so let's organize the songs together. Main feature: Professional shots from Japan (9 songs) Eric Carmen: Never Gonna Fall In Love Again/All By Myself/That's Rock'n Roll/Male Wings: Marathon Man/Boats Against The Current/She Did It/Tonight Your Mine: Inside Story/Tonight You're Mine/It Hurts Too Much Bonus footage (4 songs) 1988: Make Me Lose Control/Almost Paradise/Hungry Eyes 1990: All By Myself ... and so on. A well-balanced selection from the three albums "ERIC CARMEN", "BOATS AGAINST THE CURRENT" and "TONIGHT YOU'RE MINE", you can enjoy the hit singles that excited the Western music scene at the time. In addition, the sense of the era that seeps out from the screen is also delicious. The simple stage set, camera work, purple glitter costumes, and yellow cheers between songs are all from that era, but "She Did It" is even more "1980". Fans throw paper tape at Eric as he sings, and it hits him perfectly. You can also see Eric's surprised expression as he flinches for a moment. And when the members are introduced, the audience gives them bouquets and presents, but it's not just one or two people, but me too! Me too! They rush in one after another. And in the last song, "That's Rock'n Roll" (unfortunately it ends halfway through), Eric avoids the flying paper tape and brushes it away with his hand...there is an air of a tranquil era. As mentioned above, in addition to the Japanese performances, this work also includes two bonus pro shots. Although it is not a Japanese performance, this is also a Japanese broadcast with subtitles. One is the Los Angeles performance from the "DIRTY DANCING" era in 1988, and the other is "All By Myself" performed at the "Arista Records 15th Anniversary Concert" in 1990. The three songs from 1988 are particularly great. The quality is excellent, as it is completely official, but the costumes and stage are much more gorgeous than the Japanese performance, and the lively appearance is like BON JOVI. And behind them, dancers in aerobics costumes are flirting. You can witness the shining figure that became a hit maker in the movies "Footloose" and "Dirty Dancing" in super beautiful professional shots. The only tour to Japan, which was also a bond between Eric and Japan, and the late 1980s when he became a composer. This is a piece that allows you to immerse yourself in that figure for about an hour with the best professional shots. The world of Eric Carmen, sometimes sad and sometimes lively. Multi-camera professional shot of "February 10, 1980: Nakano Sun Plaza performance". This is a TV broadcast pro shot that symbolizes the only Japan tour that was realized once, and is a masterpiece that was made into a DVD from the best master. In addition, as a bonus, pro shots of "1988 Los Angeles performance (3 songs)" and "1990 New York performance (1 song)" are also included. This is a memorial video work that allows you to enjoy Eric Carmen of the past for about an hour. Live at Nakano Sunplaza, Tokyo, Japan 10th February 1980 PRO-SHOT 1. Marathon Man 2. Inside Story 3.
