Whire Lion/Tokyo,Japan 1988

Their first visit to Japan was with their masterpiece “PRIDE”. The precious multi-camera pro shots are to be released. This work contains five live songs from the “September 18, 1988: Shibuya Public Hall” performance, and four precious promo songs. This visit to Japan was more of a promotional visit than a Japan tour. This was the live performance that was realized at that time. First of all, let’s check the position of the show from the overview of their activities at the time when they were at their peak. [1987] March 6th + May 10th: Warm-up {PRIDE released June 21st} June 20th – July 28th: ​​North America #1 (29 shows) September 10th – December 30th: North America #2 (32 shows) [1988] January 19th – February 2nd: Europe (8 shows) February 28th – September 10th: North America #3 (111 shows) September 18th: Japan (promo show) ★Here★ September 27th – October 29th: North America #4 (24 shows) November 26th: Jersey Shore show This is the overall picture of the world tour accompanying “PRIDE”. The shows in their home base of North America made up the majority of the tour, and they began to expand their activities to Europe with the momentum. The Japan tour was finally realized one year and three months after the release of “PRIDE”. This work, which conveys the scene of such an era, is a valuable and wonderful quality multi-camera pro shot. Although it was shot in analog due to the era, the master freshness is outstanding, there is not a single white line noise to be found, and there are no dubbing marks. The image beauty that shows the scene 30 years ago as it was at the time. Of course, the sound is also an ironclad soundboard. WHITE LION, depicted with that quality, emits a climax of brilliance from the whole body. The first five songs of the Shibuya Public Hall performance are recorded as a digest that mainly includes “PRIDE” and “Broken Heart”. However, although it is short, the rich feeling of the era is wonderful. The costumes are sparkling like hair metal in its heyday, but at the same time they also have the wildness of the aftermath of the street revolution of GUNS N’ ROSES, and the yellow squeals and detailed chorus that are typical of Japanese people are beautiful. Mike Tramp, running around the stage, gets too excited during “Tell Me” and goes down to the audience to hug the fans, and the audience’s bubbly outfits are also a highlight. The four promo songs in the second half are also delicious. This selection also includes hit singles from “PRIDE,” with “Little Fighter” from “BIG GAME” added to it. The era of musicians acting is already over, and the clips assembled from performance scenes have a strong late 1980s scent. “Little Fighter” is like BON JOVI, “Tell Me” has a circular set that makes it look like DEF LEPPARD, and “Wait” has a famous scene from the movie “Flashdance.” And “When The Children Cry” just makes your heart tighten… It’s a collection of videos where you can have your heart burn with beautiful melodies while being stared at by Mike with his hair piled up. WHITE LION made their breakthrough with “PRIDE” and came all the way to Japan. This is a masterpiece that lets you immerse yourself in the multi-camera pro-shots. Although it was only for a moment, the winds of the times were definitely on their side, and the white lions shone brightly in the midst of it all. WHITE LION in 1988 was more than just a “band that wrote good songs.” This film is the definite evidence of that. Live at Shibuya Kokaido, Tokyo, Japan 18th September 1988 PRO-SHOT 1. Hungry 2.
