Suzi Quatro/Tokyo,Japan 1975 Japanese Laser Disc Edition

Susie Quattro in 1975, when the bubbling Japanese spirit was reaching its peak. An official video work that allows you to enjoy its dazzling appearance is now available. [Highest quality ever with Japanese laser disc] The true identity of this work is “IN JAPAN 1975”. This video is not from the 1970s, but a live video released in 1991, when home video software became commonplace. Although it is an out-of-print work that has not yet been made into an official DVD, this work is a detailed reprint from the mint version of the Japanese laser disc that was first released. It has been converted into a DVD with the highest quality ever. In fact, the visual beauty is astonishing. Normally, no matter how official it is, there are concerns about the master deterioration of 70’s footage, but since it was made into a laser disc in 1991, it is super beautiful. Moreover, the storage power of laser discs is incomparable to magnetic tape such as VHS, and the colors and details are exactly as they were at the time. Even when viewed with modern digital eyes, it is vivid, detailed, glossy, and beautiful, and even in modern times, it maintains the visual beauty that can be officially released as is. [A superb live performance that spreads the aura of a rock queen] The image of Susie, who was 25 years old and was stirring up the archipelago, is depicted with such unparalleled beauty. First of all, the main live performance. Originally, I would like to introduce the position according to the tour schedule as “1975 ○ month △ day ◇ ◇ performance”, but unfortunately the date and time are unknown. The laser disc band says “Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall,” but this venue is not on the 1975 schedule. Most likely it will be Nakano Sunplaza or Shibuya Public Hall, but we cannot rule out the possibility of a local performance, so we cannot say for sure. Regardless of the data, the content is the best. Perhaps because it wasn’t originally intended for commercial use, there weren’t many cameras and the songs were short, only 6, but Susie is beautiful and cool! Dressed in a black leather or gold lame jumpsuit, she violently shakes her hair and lets out a powerful shout. His demeanor exudes the aura of a rock star that transcends gender, and when his expression closes up, his handsome features and cheerful 25-year-old skin shine beautifully. Furthermore, not only Susie but also the screen itself gives off a sense of the times. The title screen is very reminiscent of the original Star Wars, but as soon as the live performance begins, the stage decoration is simple with glitter strings hanging down, and the lighting is full of old-fashioned color schemes. The camera work that reflects this also includes a lot of backlighting, and repeated high-speed zooms that don’t match the tempo of the song at all. Furthermore, Japanese title captions such as “Young Girl in Love,” “Mama’s Funky Rock and Roll,” and “Drive with the Devil” are displayed in a tasteful font. Anyway, everything that makes up the screen strongly insists on “1975.” That’s why it doesn’t feel strange even if it is inserted into TV dramas such as “G-Men ’75” and “Kamen Rider.” [Off stage that makes you choke with the scent of 1975] And what makes you choke on the smell of the times even more than the live performance is the off-stage shots inserted in between. It depicts the reception venue and sightseeing scenes in Asakusa, but even here, the handwritten sign that says “Queen of Rock’n’Roll” is poorly written, and the high-ranking man (from Record Company?) who hands out the present is actually Barcode Dad. Or. Susie also wears the usual ridiculous sunglasses and neck scarf, and is smoking a cigarette. Speaking of 1975, the band QUEEN visited Japan for the first time, and it is a time that is synchronized with that gold folding screen press conference. Even more important is visiting a record/musical instrument store. The many LPs that can be glimpsed at the edges of the screen make me feel very nostalgic, and on the wall there is a proud sign that says “Blue Note 10-inch reprint”. If you listen closely, you’ll notice that the BGM inside the store is Alice Cooper’s “Scholl’s Out,” and the innocent look on Susie’s face as she seriously tries out the bass guitar is irresistible. It’s so real that you can even smell the dusty vinyl from the screen and speakers. Although it is only 6 songs and approximately 30 minutes long, it is a masterpiece of exceptional quality and content. This is a valuable piece that not only directly hits the nostalgia of us Japanese people, but also makes 25-year-old Susie howl all over the world. Please enjoy the highest quality version in history, which can only be preserved because it is a Japanese laser disc. A DVD version of the official video work “IN JAPAN 1975” featuring the 1975 Japan tour. This is the highest quality version in history, which has been precisely reprinted from the Japanese laser disc released in 1991. Anyway, Susie, who was making the archipelago excited at the age of 25, is beautiful and cool! Dressed in a black leather or gold lame jumpsuit, she violently shakes her hair and lets out a powerful shout. His demeanor exudes the aura of a rock star that transcends gender, and when his expression closes up, his handsome features and cheerful skin glow beautifully. Even in the off-shots, the streetscapes and record stores of 1975 give you a sense of the times. It is truly a visual masterpiece worthy of cultural heritage.
