Duran Duran Duran Duran/Tokyo,Japan 4.25.1982

This is an audience recording of another masterpiece from the first visit to Japan, “April 25, 1982: Nippon Seinenkan Performance”. This work is “1ST NIGHT” as opposed to “2ND NIGHT”. Yes, this work is an unmistakable first day album even on the first visit to Japan. Let’s check the schedule once again. April 25: Nippon Seinenkan, Tokyo [This work] April 26: Expo Hall, Osaka (Roger’s birthday) April 27: Labor Hall, Nagoya April 28: Nakano Sun Plaza, Tokyo May 1: Shibuya Public Hall, Tokyo In this way, the first visit to Japan was “Tokyo → Western Japan → Tokyo”. The main press CD was “Tokyo back”, but this work was not only the first day in Tokyo, but also a genuine “first live performance in Japan”. This work is not just a bonus. It is a masterpiece with an unusually clear sound quality. In fact, the shining musical tones that flow from this work are so close to “LIVE IN TOKYO 1982”. If you have already experienced “TOKYO 1982 2ND NIGHT” with the same sound source, you will not believe that there are two of those dimensions left. This work is a meter swing that ignores the limit. There is often an expression “frenzy that blows the ceiling”, but this work seems to be blown away by a yellow explosion. The symbolic scene is the opening. The main press CD started with “Sound Of Thunder”, but this work is recorded from the opening SE “Tel Aviv”. The audience who sensed the start of the show soon started clapping in unison, and as soon as the five people appeared … “Kyaa … Furthermore, when Andy Taylor took a solo, it was bright yellow again. Before “Anyone Out There?”, he said “Konbanwa!” in Japanese, but he responded with “Kyaaanbanwaaa!!”. But that’s good. That’s why it’s great. Normally, it would be a drawback to the loud cheers, but this is the reality of DURAN DURAN’s first visit to Japan and its essentials. The difference with the main press CD may be the recording position, but there were probably many repeat audience members in the main part. What is contained in this work is a “forgetful” frenzy that is completely different from that “second joy”. Of course, it goes without saying that the members who witnessed it performed with passion. The scene of yellow cries emanating from the waves of black hair, which is probably the first time they have seen it. They perform each song as if they were savoring the feeling of having started on their journey to global success. Just to be sure, I will repeat myself, but the musical tones and singing voices in this work are superb. It is a super clear sound. Those who are looking forward to the fresh performance of their first stage in Japan will not be disappointed. Nevertheless, we cannot help but convey this sense of reality and the feeling of being on the spot. We have delivered records of many performances in Japan, but there has been no album that feels so “1982”. A masterpiece of a historical document that directly feels “Western music girls”. The moment when DURAN DURAN met Japan. ★Due to tape deterioration, the sound is unstable for the first two minutes of Hungry Like The Wolf.
