Vodka Collins did loads of TV shows in Japan back then in the early 70s but it seems in those days most of the televised tapes were routinely wiped and re-used. It's possible something will turn up in time. A few rare tapes of the old shows have survivied of the Group Sounds era, so anything is possible.
On the 1972 "Tokyo NY" LP the drummer Hiroshi Oguchi sang it. It was the only song he ever sang on any of the 5 Vodka Collins albums. Later, on the "Chemical Reaction" CD Alan Merrill sang it. This is the "Chemical Reaction" upbeat version.

There are certainly videos of the original winter 1971 lineup, it's just so old the tapes are probably at the back of some Fuji TV and TBS warehouse.

Didn't the Vodka Collins drummer's wife Kimie Shingyoji do a film called Eureka? I'm pretty sure she did.

Vodka Collins' Alan Merrill is using his three pick up black Gibson Les Paul. Monsieur is on one of his Rickenbackers.

This early seventies album Tokyo-NY was almost banned in Japan because of the spicy lyrics.
