....we've all got video of some sort and the quality ranges from awful to passable...

SOMEWHERE, surely there are master copies of all vids in pristine condition...If so I really REALLY hope someone someday gets all these together and releases a DVD that would REALLY be worth buying....

Pie in the sky, I know....

Thirded!

Someone should climb to the top of Mt. Everest and shout it for the world to hear. :wink:

I dream of a time when Japan and David Sylvian get the respect they deserve!

I think they will get the recognition they deserve. As time goes on I think more and more people are realising just how influential and good they were....

I reckon in about 10 years' time there will be a serious book on their achievements and accompanying high quality DVD.

Here's hoping...

Wow! Kinki, that's a wonderful thought! I'm crossing my fingers to kingdom come!

Well yes, and being the eternal optimist that I am I really can see it happening...

I think we are getting to the stage where sufficient time has passed since they split up for a fair chunk of musical history to have occurred, therefore affording the critics to see how Japan's influence has shaped music over the past 25 years or so...

*sigh* OK, I'm game. If someone finds me all the masters, I'll happily package up a DVD - maybe a 2 disc set, maybe a series of 2 disc sets?

Like 1 official disc remastered and the second one with rare footage, interviews, appearances, photo gallaries, etc. Some killer art work and full colour booklet.... :smt023

That'd be amazing!

*starts saving for it now*

God that would be so so so fantastic. I would gladly spend extremely silly amounts of money on it....

What about that commercial mentioned on nightporter.co.uk when David appears with superimposed breasts and that Napier-Bell only owns? :-D

Oh, they actually asked Simon that question I believe in an interview on the Nightporter website. Go find it in the interviews section, it's worth a look.

OK, silly question...
