Culture Club - Move Away Hit Studio Japan

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

I have seen this a few times and George is totally off his face. I do LOVE this era as I loved George's look during "From Luxury To Heartache" but it is a bit hard to watch how sad George really is underneath all this xo Thank goodness he survived + His style here is ON POINT , ache!

[@edwardmoskovitz5115]

George was battlingwith heroine addiction during thus time.He became painfully thin and at times his speech was slurred or non revignizabke.Thank goodness he was given the help he so desperately needed.

[@donaldwilsonrobbins]

He was high as hell. So sad. At least he came out of this period alive.

[@nikashby6363]

culture club is a living, breathing soap opera. Thank god there have been so MANY more wonderful moments since this performance. most of all, thank god we still have the talented BOY GEORGE around today. Long may he continue to inspire! )

[@japsuplaska4909]

この時はジョージ何か変だぞ！と子供ながらに不安になった。 明らかに何かがおかしいって。 このALBUMが大好きで待ちに待って発表されあっと言う間に大事件。いろいろ学びました。

[@RocStarr913]

この頃ジョージはヘロイン中毒に苦しんでいた。 彼はこの放送のわずか1日後に英国でそれを所持したとして逮捕された。

[@tokyoreggae69]

I remember this was just a day before Boy was arrested for the drug. This is quite precious because the show shows clearly that he is under the influence of the drug . His replies didn't go with the reporter's question !! He couldn't control himself !!

[@dgenerated]

Loaded to the gills!. With heroin, when you're on it, you're on it!.

[@88feji]

He did reply the questions ... just in a lot more wildly energetic manner than his usual demeanor .....

[@RocStarr913]

That’s embarrassing, considering it is really hard for Western performers to break Japan.

[@junkopoole]

At the beginning the male presenter comments about George in Japanese, "He seems to have lost some weight", to which the interpreter replies, "Indeed, he has slimmed down a lot and looks even more attractive. He looks so great in the flesh". She also tells how George had just brought the white strings from somewhere.

[@palomawilliams1982]

Junko Poole wow thanks for commenting this! Very interesting because I was always curious about what they were saying Lol

[@junkopoole]

@@palomawilliams1982 Thank YOU for uploading the video! Such a precious footage! Yeah, I thought you and other people might be interested in knowing what the presenters were saying there. :)

[@bendelosangeles3560]

Jon looks so irritated with him, and George looks high as hell! What makes it worse is that his glasses are crooked! lol

[@michaelroccia2108]

Wow Culture Club was definitely on the outs at that point! So sad

[@HORSESWELUV]

George is Fashion.

[@zivb4100]

amazing ! its their last appearance !!! ( in the 80's)

[@palomawilliams1982]

ziv b are you serious wow I didn't know this was their last appearance!

[@zivb4100]

yes its on his book , he said it .. he almost didn't go on , he looked himself for hours in the dressing room ...

[@palomawilliams1982]

ziv b omg ugh I wish I had his book :(

[@sillyukiho]

@@zivb4100what book was it in? I’d love to read it

[@brandyl2183]

@@sillyukihoProbably Take it like a man or Straight. Those are the only two books he wrote so far. Although he says he is writing one now as well

[@88feji]

Move Away and God Thank You Woman were such big hits for the band ... they were still hot properties at that point, sadly would soon be overshadowed by the drug arrest ....

[@RocStarr913]

“God Thank You Woman,” not so much. That likely played a role into why a different follow-up single for “Move Away” was chosen in America.

[@momotora3508]

ドラッグで逮捕されるチョイ前の際の夜ヒット出演。 確かにかなりイッてるなぁ。

[@CultureClubHistory]

Jon is so angry here, the rest of the band are on edge worrying what George might say or do… 🤣 Management should never of allowed him on stage in this condition…

[@cantin-777]

アルバムは大傑作！見事に復活したと思ったんだが、、、

[@club1fan552]

Oh, my, Lord.

[@桜-l2f]

ボーイかっこいい、なんの悩みもないようないい男なのに、逮捕、信じられない、美男子

[@claraflorian7356]

1987 ;)

[@RocStarr913]

Actually, 1986.

[@hn-jc4yk]

リアタイで観てました。この後ボーイは逮捕され、グループは空中分解。終わってしまいましたね。

[@Moyet]

Warum haben John,Graig und Roy damals nicht STOP gesagt?

[@RocStarr913]

Weil George der große Anziehungspunkt der Band war und sie es nicht wagen würden, gegen denjenigen anzutreten, der am meisten für ihren Erfolg verantwortlich ist.

[@Raniebel]

Cepat lah sikit.

[@deborahscofield6738]

This performance, first of all it is a movable set which I'm sure was annoying. It Georges first book he discusses it. He at one point wouldn't come of his dressing room. Mikey and Jon went having none of it which you can tell. So glad George has never looked better and great performer.

[@teresita.lozada]

He is so precious nowadays.

[@zivb4100]

do u have more rare from that period ?? or after ?> I love his 86- 87-88 period , do u have the one he sing on that charity event with Sade and sting when he was high? he sang black money and interview after ?

[@palomawilliams1982]

ziv b I have more videos but I don't think i have more from this period I'm going to look on my computer though! :)

[@zivb4100]

so sweet thank you !!!

[@palomawilliams1982]

ziv b you're welcome I'm a big fan of them so it's no problem for me! lol

[@palomawilliams1982]

ziv b ok i went through my videos and I found 3 they're not that rare they were on youtube already but they deleted them so you can't find those now I don't know if you still want to see them I'm uploading 1 now just in case and i also have the vh1 behind the music from 1998 i don't know if you're interested in that also let me know! :)

[@palomawilliams1982]

Nixx Lawrenson aw thanks! Glad you enjoyed them and you're in luck I just uploaded two more videos on my channel! :)

[@skippybartalozzi]

He's off his guts and being over dramatic !!!!

[@橘レモン-m4p]

これは口パクなんですかね、、

[@RocStarr913]

はい。 この時期にヘロインをやっていたということを考えると、彼の声はライブで歌うのに適していなかったかもしれない。
