This concert – the very last of the ’78 tour – was filmed completely,but only half of it was broadcast on Japanese TV,in the programme ‘The Young Music Show’. Most of the numbers are accompanied by simultaneous translations into Japanese of the words he is singing. Five Years is one of them – then Dennis Davis suddenly appears wearing some sort of gorilla mask,but after a couple of songs he takes it off again. The audience is barely heard or seen until after the speeding up in Station to Station. After Station to Station one can seen the audience shouting for an extra until Bowie comes back to release a cheerful version of TVCI5.
David Bowie completed an intense period of touring with the Low And Heroes tour, which ended with Bowie’s second ever trip to Japan. The five shows were booked in Osaka and Tokyo, ending on December 12, 1978 at the NHK hall. An hour of this show was taped and broadcast on television and is the source for the Hoping For A Little Romance (YOU J-002). The general opinion is that the sound quality on Hoping For A Little Romance is very good .The nine-minute interview (Track 13) is from Japanese television.
