David Bowie/London,UK Japanese Broadcast

“Ziggy Stardust (In Motion Picture)” is the last appearance of a rare charismatic figure and a monumental work in music movies. The Japanese broadcast version of the masterpiece has been decided to be released. Nothing deserves to be called a masterpiece like this concert film. Concert footage filmed at the Hammersmith Odeon performance on July 3, 1973, which was the last day of the legendary “ZIGGY STARDUST TOUR” in rock history and where Bowie buried the character “Ziggy Stardust” he created himself. . This is a multi-camera professional shot that captures the charismatic brilliance that has been etched forever in rock history, and not only shows Bowie’s ever-changing stage performance, but also Bowie’s transformation at the venue and backstage, which conveys the enthusiasm of the time. It also captures the image. The reality was also a document of 1973, when rock music grew into a major trend. The film was initially broadcast on television in a short 60-minute version, but it wasn’t until 1979 that the full 90-minute version was shown at film festivals after several years of post-production. Since then, it has been loved in a variety of formats, including screenings around the world, software, and DVD. Under such circumstances, the basis for this work was the special program “Western Music Live Legend” that was broadcast on a certain satellite broadcasting station in February 2011. At that time, Paul Trinka, the author of Bowie’s biography, was featuring Bowie at a time when his virtual retirement was being whispered. Speaking of 2011, “digital terrestrial broadcasting” was scheduled for July and was frequently announced, but satellite broadcasting was converted to digital a long time ago. This work is a completely official DVD containing the best master recorded by a recording enthusiast with zero deterioration. Moreover, not only the quality but also the content is top notch. Broadcasts of this kind are often cut and incomplete, but perhaps the legendary masterpiece could not have been cut, and this is a complete 90-minute version. A corner introducing the film has been set up, and a half-Japanese narrator who is a descendant of Mitsuhide Akechi, who has been adapted into a historical drama, talks about Bowie and the background of the film, and the program’s own Japanese subtitles are also included. This subtitle is really good. The opening announcement that touches on his first visit to Japan, the conversation in the dressing room where he transforms into “Ziggy” while chatting, “Are women better at makeup?” and changes costumes as the countdown approaches, Mick Ronson. Introducing the members, joking that “the guitar player is not Suzy Quattro”, etc. It’s not a movie with a lot of dialogue, but Bowie’s…or rather, “Ziggy’s” voice, facial expressions, and words are synchronized and engraved in your mind. The song that makes you feel the deepest is “Ziggy”’s retirement declaration “Farewell Speech”. Since these words are so historical, I would like to record them here along with the actual words and the subtitles of this work. “Everybody…This has been one of the greatest tours of our lives, we really…” “But first, I’d like to thank the band, I’d like to thank our road crew, and I’d like to thank our lighting people” “Of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest…” “Because… Not only is it the last show of the tour, but it’s the last show we’ll ever do. Thank you” “Ziggy Stardust”. After that, Bowie created and played various characters, but his symbol was forever “Ziggy”. A historical masterpiece that perfectly depicts the charm and brilliance of such charisma. Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK 3rd July 1973 Broadcast Date: 9th February 2011 1. Intro 2. Opening 3.
