David Bowie 1980 JapanTV Interview

[@akdlg9sjjslk8]

You can see how being in a place he loves like Japan affects his mood. He seems happy and relaxed in this interview. I hope he was able to go to Okinawa like he wanted. I also really like this hairstyle he sported, which I know he had for Elephant Man. This is the only interview I've seen him have it.

[@pepper-xn7mm]

当時Pops紹介の番組は少なく、いつどこでDavidのニュースが流れるかわからない状況。２時間録画ビデオテープが3000円くらいして、無駄に録画も叶わず、この番組ゲットは奇跡の一つです。

[@NachoVideo]

Hi pepper1005! Is it known where this interview was held? And the recording date? Thanks :)

[@カマカマタマタマ]

本当に貴重な映像をありがとうございます

[@rk6de9gu9u]

この後に「純・ロックジャパン」のCMに出てましたよね！！🥰

[@sanijas83]

So beautiful, and such a lovely message - Don't waste any day, don't waste a minute.

[@calanais06]

+sanijas83 Yes, it is, so true. I often think of his words, I think so many of us just run through life taking tomorrow for granted.

[@jas2819]

Carpe diem. 😊😊

[@blueforrester8459]

this was when he was most handsome IMO. over the drug binging days of the mid 70s, maturing into his mid 30s and down to earth

[@nke6624]

この頃のDavidはいろんなアイデアなど日本の文化に傾倒してましたね。嬉しいことです。

[@rebelstardust2309]

I wish I could just find him talking on loop! So I could just listen to his beautiful, hypnotic, and magical voice...

[@kevcatnip7589]

hang on to yourself

[@annmarie214can]

He was so handsome and had a delicious smile 2:06 is quite funny i think he really wants to laugh but was too polite

[@wendyliu4849]

I can listen to his talk all day!! i love his English accent sooooo much!!!!!!!

[@beautybulletin6671]

gosh, he is mesmerizing

[@lakerskakeru4247]

この時点で、本当にトーキング・ヘッズや、ピーター・ガブリエル、ポール・サイモン、PILなどのワールドミュージックの要素をとり入れたロックが興隆する80年代の音楽シーンを予見するかのようなコメント。 流石の慧眼。

[@pennyc7064]

I always learn something from his interviews. Very intelligent soul!

[@CK_Japan_]

Me too Thank you so much ❤

[@DummyAccount-f1q]

What did you learn from this one?

[@bowie-ol6cb]

私が初めてBOWIEを見たのは、この番組で流れた「僕はDJ」のPVでした。なんてカッコイイ人なんだ！！と子供ながらに衝撃を受けたのをよく覚えています。このインタビューは初めて見ました。すごく柔らかい雰囲気のBOWIE、素敵なインタビューですね。アップしてくださってありがとうございます！！

[@麦茶-v9k]

顔が美しすぎて話が入ってこない

[@calzabbath]

I bought Scary Monsters (US import, sealed) when I was 16 years old back in 1986. My perception of music was never the same afterwards. I miss Bowie at his peak, 70s and 80s, and all the beautiful messages that his art conveyed. I knew back then that in my adulthood such artists would not exist anymore. Something very important is missing these days. Greetings from Buenos Aires.

[@DummyAccount-f1q]

I bought it in January of 1981 at Appletree Records on West Lincoln Highway in Dekalb, Illinois just after I returned to college after Christmas break.

[@Lonette]

"Don't waste any day. Don't waste a minute."

[@deannadibble4108]

I love how he said he thought folk music and traditional tribal music would be big in the 80s. But not the synthesizer. Definitely not the synthesizer. In the 80s. Oh, Bowie. You crack me up.

[@humandroid53]

+Deanna Dibble. Actually, as usual, he was way ahead. Tribal and world music did become popular - especially through Peter Gabriel's Real World label.

[@ladymelde]

And Paul Simon with Graceland etc.

[@bluespyusa8979]

Bullshit...he got it wrong...get over it...

[@alovesupreme5015]

i think he was guessing off the talking heads remain in light, which was working in african music. plus, lets dance was originally going to be a folk album

[@jaysterling26]

@@humandroid53 He may influenced , or be influenced by Eno & Byrne - weren't they working in "my life in the bush of ghosts " at the same time in New York? Also see AdamAnt using Burundi drumming. Perhaps he thought it would either too kitch to incorporate/ appropriate those types of music himself? Did he fly every year to Japan (!)?.

[@catherinebirch2399]

He had such beautiful hair.

[@andrehenri4219]

Another awesome interview, so humble and full of humility, miss the guy!

[@Sophie-ps3gf]

Aw he is so polite 😭😂

[@soonova8150]

It is so nice to see such a respectful interview. A lot of Western interviewers, around this time, try to get Bowie to say or do something sensational. They are a lot more confrontational.

[@modtomodern]

I lived in Kyoto in the 80's and I always looked out for him. Never saw him though...

[@replicated-TV]

He looks so pretty in this interview ♡

[@松渓努-v7y]

2人とも聞き取り易い英語ですね。川村龍一さんのウィキペディアを読むと、海外在住の経験が無いのに、なんでこんなに英語が堪能なんだろ。

[@leonakita]

Wow, this is great. Bowie at that absolute pinnacle of his career, with the spectacular album SCARY MONSTERS and his broadway performance in THE ELEPHANT MAN. I experienced both as they coincide with the best year(s) of my life!

[@lucaslaino7292]

By far scary monsters is my fave album along with diammond dogs

[@kevcatnip7589]

wish they could do a virtual reality meet bowie game,,,,wish it so

[@lesliescott2362]

Oh I'm so envious! I'd loved to have seen him in Elephant Man. From clips I've seen he was wonderful.

[@johnbowie3566]

Till today my favourite album is Scary Monsters. There is music before SM and after SM

[@jas2819]

Every interview with the man is an eye opener. 😲😲😲

[@pattycassiani1352]

Bella intervista...occhi magnetici...voce calda...intelligenza e simpatia....this is Bowie...love forever

[@rs8492]

200x年頃、埼玉県熊谷市の八木橋デパートのスーツ屋にデビッドボウイ大好きな店員さんがいたなぁ。

[@フクロウ使いふーちゃん]

Thank you coming to Japan ✨ I woulded meet to you😢 But, forever you'll be at our heart. So, we are not sad🤗 Thank you happiness and joy🎁

[@monicasomoncini4126]

David ❤❤❤

[@nomchowski8297]

By Jesus, even without anything done, no fancy haircut no make up this man was dead handsome. I'm straight as a fiddle stick and even I am struck by it...

[@christophecrompin9559]

Never ever saw that one before - thanks a lot !

[@auburn7697]

Guardi quest' uomo ed è l' equivalente di guardare un' opera d' arte.E' unico.Mi manca❤

[@tiktaktotiki8595]

As usual,totally engaged and engaging, thoughtful intelligent answers to the questions,always he finds the humour of the moment,has a quick crack up to himself cpl of times there.as always he was so sexy and YES mesmerising, always mesmerising even if talking about scary monsters or ancient pop up houses in japan.

[@yesitsbella]

Fantastic. Always so polite. And quite beautiful here.

[@lantosjonatan9617]

I love the way he hides the embarrassment by smiling and paying attention to the japanese words , trying to understand the awkward situation (when the interviewer is the translator, too) in the most polite way.

[@Dada-hf5bz]

このインタビューの後、私の記憶では「Ashes to ashes」のPVが流れたような・・・・。まさか「ヤングおー！おー！」でボウイのインンタビューとは驚きました。貴重な映像ありがとうございます。

[@rk6de9gu9u]

今は故人の川村ひさしさんが、英語で話せてはるのは、初めて見ました。 この後、日本のお酒メーカのCMで来日していますよね！（京都）

[@GrantTarredus]

Thank you for sharing this!

Miss you David

[@EdwardsOperation]

Hero and inspiration to us all here at Edward's Operation.

[@dixgun]

Does anyone know the name of the band he was referring to, the one that played Okinawan music on electric instruments?

[@jasonlefler3456]

Spent some nights in old Kyoto, sleeping on the matted ground...

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Figura importante de la música popular durante casi cinco décadas, Bowie es considerado un innovador, en particular por sus trabajos de la década de 1970 y por su peculiar voz, además de la profundidad intelectual de su obra. 77 AÑOS 69 AÑOS 08 AÑOS 🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬

[@oka7897]

Then, he expected that his song "Let's Dance" will be sold high, didn't he?

[@fattidiliberta]

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

Okay interview.

[@25-vg9kg]

ボウイがヤングオーオーに出てたか。 福岡で週末の夕方放送してた。

[@calvotoxico8500]

Aaaaaaaaah my heart...2:05

[@d.schindler7882]

Anyone know what band in Okinawa he was referring to?

[@kaylaschulz7515]

Stay there

[@tachikomakusanagi3744]

So, I suspect this what the Mark Ronson video is based on for Bang Bang Bang

[@SUGIE-HIRO3019]

彼は優れたアーティストでした。 しかし彼の思考に間違いがあるのは日本と欧米をクロスオーバーさせると言う事です…なぜ間違いなのか？それは根本的に異なるものが融合する事はないからです…故に各々の個性があると思います。
