David Bowie • Crystal Jun Rock • The Garden Version • Japanese TV Ad • March 1980

With the bulk of the Scary Monsters backing tracks complete, Bowie accepted an invitation to promote Crystal Jun Rock, a brand of shochu (a Japanese distilled spirit similar to vodka) made by Takara Shuzo Co. Ltd. He would appear in several television commercials, speak four words – ’Crystal Jun Rock Japan’ and provide the music. The shoot took place over two weeks at a temple in Kyoto.
