In 1971, Pink Floyd were invited to perform at the first open-air rock festival in Japan. Titled Hakone Aphrodite, the event took place on August 6 and 7, 1971 and was staged on the shores of Lake Ashinoko in Hakone, Kanagawa, Tokyo's western neighbour.
Japanese organizers had hoped to emulate the huge success of the Woodstock festival held in the United States two years earlier, and Hakone Aphrodite is considered the pioneer of future annual music events in Japan -- such as the three-day Fuji Rock Festival.
Music critic Kenta Hagiwara went to Aphrodite when he was still in high school and described the event as "the first year of western rock concerts" in Japan. “That was one of the first legends for Japanese rock fans,” Hagiwara said.
He added that these live performances aroused greater interest among the audience and contributed to the development of Western musical culture in Japan. “Pink Floyd led people to believe that pop music was an art form on the same scale as classical music or jazz,” Hagiwara said.

Someone pulled 4K HD camera in 1971. Not too shabby. Then again, Japanese always been good with electronics.. 🤣🤣

[@patricksommer3971]

FINALLY a decent version of Hakone! EDIT: more than decent, i'd call it excellent!!!

この日のギグに参加した作家の村上龍がよく作品内にこの時のエピソードを引用してます。 当日は途中で霧が周囲を覆い、幻想的な雰囲気でハイになった当時のヒッピーたちとぶっ飛んだと綴ってます。

Huge amount of work! 1) upscaling is perfect (more definition and still natural, you know how to use the tools in a clever way) 2) research to find the music corresponding to the live shots is impressive 3) editing and slideshow sequences are well thought (consistent with the audio) Conclusion: that 38min film is the ultimate document covering Pink Floyd's visit in Japan on August 1971!

Today, nothing could make me happy. Then I saw this on Instagram. I am so thankful for this video. Thanks for all the hard work you've done. Thanks million times...

Is that a respiratory mask Roger wearing at 1:53 ? 50 years ago, Japan playing safe already

[@jackg1968]

This looks absolutely incredible! Obviously not a critique of your work, but why is the footage so chopped up into second-long segments? Surely that’s not all that was recorded? Is the rest being held captive for official release someday? Would love to know!

[@busratamis]

Incredible! Thanks for this amazing gem and credit! I loved it so much.❤️

I think it was an illusion on a hot summer day, but I was certainly in this crowd.

Cymbaline at about 37:00 is mislabled in the film. But what a fantastic edit, especially the synchronization. Great Film!

Did David realize how freaking hot he was?
