David Bowie • Star Sen Ichi Ya • Japanese TV Interview • December 1978
•
This is a newly restored version of an interview with David Bowie for the Japanese TV show, Star Sen Ichi Ya, in early December 1978. It was originally broadcast in Japan on the 6th of December 1978.
The name of the show is “Star Sen Ichi Ya”. “Star” means star - as in TV star, movie star, rock star etc. “Sen Ichi Ya“ comes from “Sen (Ya) Ichi Ya Monogatari“ which literally means “One Thousand and One Nights“. As in, “Arabian Nights“.
The interviewer is Hiroshi Sekiguchi, who was at one time a famous actor. Nowadays he is well-known as an anchor of a Sunday morning TV show. The translator is Mari Christine.
And by the way, yes the Japanese caption at the beginning does say “BLACKOUT”, tho’ in reality the song is of course “Ziggy Stardust”.
