Joan Jett & the Blackhearts/The Jett Age Japanese Laser Disc Ver.

Joan Jett had a tremendous presence in the 1990s as a pioneer of female rockers. A fantastic official video that looks back on her career is now available. The video work is “THE JETT AGE”. This is a history video produced after the release of “NOTORIOUS”. Although Joan’s video itself is valuable, this video work was released on VHS and laser disc at the time, but it was quickly discontinued. This is a rare work that has not been released on DVD since then. This work is precisely digitized from the Japanese version laser disc, which is the highest quality edition. You can enjoy about 1 hour of the best professional shots of her until the age of 34, when she ruled the scene from the rare footage of THE RUNAWAYS era. The contents of this work include nostalgic promo clips, live performances, off-shots, and interviews. This is a classic history video creation. Of course, the biggest highlight is the performance scene of 11 songs. In many history videos, the songs are sometimes broken, but in this work, each song is cherished, and it is fully performed and shows plenty. And the selection is quite delicious. Here, let’s take a look at the 11 songs that are the true core of the album.・BAD REPUTATION: Bad Reputation ・I LOVE ROCK ‘N ROLL: I Love Rock ‘n Roll／Crimson And Clover ・ALBUM: The French Song ・GLORIOUS RESULTS OF A MISSPENT YOUTH: Cherry Bomb ・GOOD MUSIC: None ・UP YOUR ALLEY: I Hate Myself For Loving You/Little Liar/I Wanna Be Your Dog・THE HIT LIST: Love Hurts・NOTORIOUS: Backlash/Don’t Surrender…and so on. From her debut solo work “BAD REPUTATION” to her latest work “NOTORIOUS”, all of her works other than “GOOD MUSIC” have been selected evenly, and we closely follow her solo career. Of course, in the THE RUNAWAYS scene, you can partially listen to the 70’s performance, but the full “Cherry Bomb” is a solo version. This alone is a “best album to watch with your eyes,” but interviews and comments are also included between songs. Of course, since this work is based on the Japanese laser disc, all of it has Japanese subtitles. The content is the very way of life as a female rocker. The first time I picked up a guitar, the first time I went to a concert and decided to live rock music, and the first time I performed on stage as THE RUNAWAYS. What she thought and how she acted at the scene is told from her own mouth. Of course, even after she became a solo artist, she openly talks about her breakthrough with THE BLACKHEARTS, her acting career, her pride as a lyricist and composer, and more, not only her wild stage appearance, but also the behind-the-scenes aspects. Particularly interesting is the story of THE RUNAWAYS. “I was so scared that I was shaking. I wanted to drink beer and hide behind the guitar.” “After all, 15- and 16-year-old girls were doing this, so I was wondering what these little girls could do.” “Everyone was watching us.” “I thought I was going to be naked,” he says, but in between those words, a picture of Cherie Currie in a garter belt is inserted. And even when he realized he was playing properly, he says, “I guess it was like, ‘Wow, that’s what we’re doing.’But most people seemed to be pissed off.” Even after going solo, Joan continued to fight, saying, “There’s no way a woman can do R&R,” but that hostility must have been very strong at the start, before she had gained any experience. She speaks about it with real feeling (at the beginning, she participates in an MLB Orioles camp and enjoys a special practice game, but this is also a typical scene of her taking on “baseball = a man’s sport”). Of course, this movie is not a dark story of hardship. It’s refreshing to see Joan turn that hostility into energy and create aggressive rock. You can enjoy the masterpieces that he created during his career, in the highest quality, while changing his image, sometimes punkish, sometimes stylish. Most of them are promo clips that ooze nostalgia, but “Cherry Bomb” is a unique video that is a collage of tour footage, and the last “I Wanna Be Your Dog” is a live performance. In particular, “I Wanna Be Your Dog” explodes with a heavier groove than the studio version after talking about his fighting spirit on stage just before, which is really cool. Even first-timers can enjoy this “moving best album” that gives a panoramic view of her history and signature songs, and enthusiasts will be thrilled by the many valuable videos and comments from the artist herself. Unfortunately, it has been out of print for a long time, and now there is no hope of it being made into an official DVD. Please enjoy the highest quality ever reprinted from the Japanese version laser disc. A rare professional shot video title that has not been made into Blu-ray or DVD. With Japanese subtitles.
