Description
The 1990 Japan performance was realized while “BATMAN” was No. 1 in the United States. The legendary broadcast, which symbolizes that, will be released in the highest quality version ever! This work contains the “Tokyo Dome performance on August 31, 1990”. It is a full-scale TV broadcast pro shot that has been famous since that time. First of all, let’s look back at the show’s position from the overall picture of the schedule for Japan. ・ August 30: Tokyo Dome ・ August 31: Tokyo Dome ← ★ This work ★ ・ September 2: Hanshin Koshien Stadium ・ September 6: Sapporo Makomanai Outdoor Stadium ・ September 10: Yokohama Stadium (last day of the tour) In this way, the third visit to Japan, which was a part of the “NUDE TOUR”, was a total of five performances. The highlight was the two consecutive days of performances at the Tokyo Dome, and this work is a multi-camera pro shot taken on the second day of that. Since it is such a famous broadcast, many titles have been circulated so far, but this work is the best. It is a direct digitization of the original master that was treasured by a core video enthusiast. This maniac continues to record while pursuing high-end equipment of the era, and even at that time, he used professional equipment for both reception and recording. That commitment is firmly engraved in the beauty of the images projected in this work. The smooth yet lustrous color is the same as it was at the time, and it is as clear as a laser disc. The storage condition is perfect, there is not a single line noise or a single piece of distortion, and it is a dimension that makes it hard to believe that it was broadcast 31 years ago. I think it was probably never played before it was digitized, but even the bangs that flutter violently in the wind of the fan and the veins that pop out on the temples are displayed super clearly. Since it is such a master, the digitization was also the latest and most meticulous. We entrusted it to an overseas manufacturer that is affiliated with the laser disc reprint series, and extracted all the information sealed in the tape as much as possible with modern professional equipment. It is ridiculous to assert now, but the quality is “the best ever” and “the best ever” that sweeps away all previous broadcasts. It is a super high-quality one that can be made into an official DVD as it is. The quality of the Prince depicted is such that he was at the peak of his career, filling the Tokyo Dome with fans thanks to the huge success of “BATMAN” as mentioned above. The “NUDE TOUR” of the Greatest Hits Tour was full of hit songs, with gorgeous sets and casts. The spectacular show spreads across the screen. From the beginning, the giant letters “PRINCE” appear on the stage, and Prince appears holding a blue guitar. The Japanese word “nude” engraved on his white shirt and “human” in black pants are also clearly displayed. Prince changes costumes many times during the show, and the black costume in “Kiss” has “love” written on it, the orange suit in “Partyman” has “gemini” written on it, and the black suit in the encore has “Prince” and “nude” written on it in Japanese. Not only him, but Rosie Gaines’ costume has “soul”, Miko Waver has “live”, and dancer GAME BOYZ has “takeo”. Although there are very few scenes of the audience in the professional shots of the TV broadcast, the images are always full of a “Japanese feel.” Those who attended the live performance on the day may be wondering, “What?” In fact, the order of the songs in this broadcast is significantly different from the actual stage. That said, it’s not a complete shuffle. There are commercials during the program, and the blocks separated by those commercials are swapped all at once. To summarize briefly… A: “Take Me With U” – “Alphabet St.” 3 songs → “CM” → B: “Kiss” – “Purple Rain” 2 songs → “CM” → C: “The Question Of U” – “Do Me, Baby” 3 songs → “CM” → D: “The Future” – “Sexy Dancer” 4 songs → “CM” → E: “Little Red Corvette” – “Partyman” 3 songs → “CM” → F: “Baby I’m A Star” 1 song … and it is structured like this. This is the recording order of this work, but the stage on site was “D → B → A → C → E → F”. We considered returning the songs to the order of the songs on site, but here we recorded them as they were, valuing the sense of the era of the broadcast itself. Speaking of the sense of the era of the broadcast, another point is the recording of the commercials of that time. Normally, they would be cut, but the “smell of the era” that drifts from this commercial is amazing. A diamond female band appears, and the song playing in the background of a car commercial is a song by a male duo who was arrested for using stimulants. The catchphrase “Video Wonderland” is nostalgic, and the image commercial of land rolling is unique to the end of the bubble era. In addition, when a female talent who broke out on a late-night program during the band boom appears, a dangerous detective is talking in a phone booth, someone from Be-Bop High School is touting high-definition faxes, and a woman in shoulder pads is the wife of a get wild synth player… The smell of that era, when people believed that flashy life would last forever, is so thick that it makes you choke. Of course, the “nostalgic commercials” are just a bonus. The brilliance of Prince is the main story, and the commercials are, so to speak, the seasoning that wraps that brilliance with the scent of the era. Yes, Prince’s “NUDE TOUR” was shining in the middle of such an era. It creates a realistic feel. A masterpiece pro shot recorded by a video enthusiast who loves Prince. With a history of passion, we have packed everything into a DVD, including commercials that show the era. The Tokyo Dome was filled with the brilliance of Prince at the peak of his power… no, the BIG EGG. This is a cultural heritage that allows you to witness that dazzling concert in the highest quality ever.
