Bon Jovi Cinderella Skid Row Quireboys Bon Jovi Cinderella/Countdown Live 1990 Tokyo, Japan 1990-1991 Upgrade

The first countdown event “THE BIG JOINT TOUR” in which three young bands participated, led by BON JOVI, who achieved world domination with “NEW JERSEY”. The best version of it is here. This work was filmed at the “December 31, 1990: Tokyo Dome” performance. It is a special program “FINAL COUNTDOWN” for countdown live. BON JOVI also held a countdown live at the end of 1988, but again two years later. This time, it was a festival format with young HR/HM artists such as CINDERELLA, SKID ROW, and THE QUIREBOYS. Pro shots featuring such festivals have been a standard for a long time, and are popular in our store as “FINAL COUNTDOWN: TOKYO DOME 1990”. Although the program itself is the same in this work, it is a new master with upgraded quality and recording time. In fact, the visual beauty of this work is the best ever. Our shop archives various music programs with the finest masters by core record enthusiasts, and this is the latest installment. It is of such beautiful, completely official quality that it makes you wonder, “Was it officially released on laser disc?” And the special program “FINAL COUNTDOWN”, depicted with such beautiful images, is not a live broadcast of the entire event, but a digest that features all four groups. The flow is also a little different from the actual event, so let’s introduce it according to the program’s structure. First half of the program: Selected songs from the featured bands (4 songs) The first half of the program is a “list of featured bands”, and each band is introduced one song at a time. The opening is the main act BON JOVI. Of course, they were the final act at the venue, and the sequence was “3 songs → New Year Countdown → 14 songs,” but here, the opening scene features the American national anthem followed by a sudden surge into “Tokyo Road.” After that, the bands that performed started with the opening, one song at a time, THE QUIREBOYS’ “7 O’Clock,” SKID ROW’s “Youth Gone Wild,” and CINDERELLA’s “Shelter Me.” SKID ROW and CINDERELLA have been called “BON JOVI’s younger brothers” since their days, and THE QUIREBOYS, who were mixed in with them, also fit right in. Spike’s husky voice rivals Tom Keifer’s, and even creates the atmosphere of a showdown between the British and American blues rock that was new at the time. Second half of the show: BON JOVI’s hit parade (5 songs) The second half of the show, which includes “New Year Countdown,” is filled with the live performance of the final act, BON JOVI. Although it is only five songs, the concentration of the killer masterpieces is intense. In “Born To Be My Baby”, John also jumps into the audience for a passionate performance, and the performance of the heyday runs through. “Japan in 1990” is a nostalgic commercial that shines through. Although the program itself was enjoyable, this work is an extended edition that is nearly 10 minutes longer. The extra time is actually the commercials that are aired in between. This event was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the telephone business in Japan, and the sponsor of the special program was a certain major telephone company. The commercials that are aired are not normal. Perhaps reflecting the social conditions of the heyday of tondi drama (an obsolete term), it is a serial drama. Telephones and communication devices appear as props in the human drama. The idea is to introduce the communication services of the time. And the cast is as luxurious and gorgeous as a movie. Tanaka Kuni○, who came from the north country, is assigned to play the father, and Yakushimaru Hiro○, who just married Anzenchitai, plays the daughter. The other cast members, Starless, Naoya Ogata, and Takaya Nakai, are all in their 20s. Fujitani Mio, who plays the younger sister, is still only 16 years old. And while the services sprinkled throughout the film are so commonplace that from a modern perspective, you might wonder “Do we really need to make commercials for them?”, such as cordless phones, late-night discounts, answering machines, and call waiting, there are also nostalgic items such as pagers and telephone cards that are still in use. Furthermore, there are mobile phones as big as plastic bottles, and commercials announcing the change to four-digit local area codes. These commercials are inserted between the live shows, giving a strong sense of the era when the young heroes were very popular. *Note: The serial drama commercials included in this work are from episodes 1 to 16. From episode 17 onwards, please enjoy Billy Joel’s “STORM FRONT TOUR: TOKYO DOME 1991”, which will be released at the same time. “CINDERELLA and THE QUIREBOYS, a battle of the husky-voiced blues rock of the UK and the US, SKID ROW, who were so hyper, and BON JOVI, who had the world in their hands. The dazzling live performances of these four bands, who were enjoying their prime, and Japan, where the TV drama series was “Torendee”, are both presented in the highest quality ever in this entertainment blockbuster. It is a record that is extremely fun to watch, and its existence itself is a cultural history. “FINAL COUNTDOWN” is a special program on the countdown live held at the Tokyo Dome on December 31, 1990. It is a digest program with six songs by the main band BON JOVI and one song each by the other bands, but you can enjoy the Japanese performances of the four bands at their most brilliant times for about an hour with official quality. The nostalgic commercials inserted in between are also a highlight. This TV drama-style commercial features a star-studded cast including Kunie Tanaka, Hiyoko Yakushimaru, and Kiichi Nakajima. It is a historical masterpiece that exudes a strong atmosphere of the 1990s, when music was at its peak. Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan 31st December 1990 & 1st January 1991 PRO-SHOT(UPGRADE) (60:29) 1.
