Olivia Newton-John at the end of the 20th century had returned to the music scene and was touring for the first time in a long time. A professional shot of her captivating the world with her mature singing voice has been released. This work was filmed at the Hong Kong concert on August 18th and 19th, 2000. This is a multi-camera professional shot. Olivia, who announced that she had breast cancer in 1992, devoted herself to treatment and awareness activities. She only appeared on stage a few times a year. It was in 1999 that she resumed her tour activities. This is a good opportunity to look back on her schedule at that time. 1999, January 1st-14th: North America #1 (7 performances), July 16th-September 4th: North America #2 (30 performances) ←※ONE WOMAN'S LIVE JOURNEY 2000, March 31st-May 21st: North America #3 (14 performances), August 18th-22nd: Asia (3 performances) ←★Here★, September 15th: Sydney Olympics Opening Ceremony ("ONE WOMAN'S LIVE JOURNEY" released on September 19th), December 15th: Hong Kong Christmas Event Appearance, December 24th: Melbourne Performance This is Olivia Newton-John in 1999/2000. The opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics was also a memorable one in 2000, but this Hong Kong performance was just before that. It was during the "Asia" leg of the three performances. Speaking of Hong Kong at the end of the 20th century, it was a time when concerts by Western musicians had just begun to be held. That's why Olivia's visit became a hot topic and it seems that the TV broadcast was realized. This work is a DVD of the TV broadcast pro shot. At that time, music broadcasting in Hong Kong was still in its infancy, so it's hard to say it was "official class!" The unbalanced mix, the frame screen like a photo booth, and the bland cuts make it seem unfamiliar. However, that is also a documentary of the era. Olivia, who speaks and sings with a smile as the main character, is a mature singer. The gap between her appearance and the video quality realistically reflects the era when she was trying to deliver her singing voice to undeveloped countries. Moreover, even though the broadcast quality is subtle, the master freshness is excellent. It seems to be a video recording due to the era, but there is almost no white line noise or running distortion. The essential singing voice is directly poured into the brain with a sense of ears because of the line recording, and spreads gently in the chest. Finally, let's organize the set contents depicted in such beautiful images. As mentioned above, her singing voice from that time can be enjoyed on the official live album "ONE WOMAN'S LIVE JOURNEY", but she also performs repertoire that cannot be heard there. Let Me Be There, Let Me Be There, If You Love Me (Let Me Know), Take Me Home, Country Roads (★), Grease, You're The One That I Want, Hopelessly Devoted To You, Summer Nights, Others, If Not For You (★), I Honestly Love You, The Long and Winding Road (★), Xanadu (some), Physical, (They Long to Be) Close to You (★) *Note: "★" indicates songs that cannot be heard on "ONE WOMAN'S LIVE JOURNEY". Olivia overcame her battle with illness and returned to the scene. For us Japanese, the most memorable recording is her Japan tour that took place three years after this album, and this video work allows us to meet her during that period of her run-up to the album. Although the quality is not perfect, it is a valuable and interesting historical piece. A video work that allows you to meet Olivia when she returned to the music scene has been released. This is a rare Hong Kong TV broadcast pro shot, and the gap between the camerawork and quality typical of a developing country in the music business and the singing voice of Yen Sui Kiu gives it a sense of the era.
