ABBA in Japan TV Spot

When ABBA made their first visit to Japan in November 1978, they were hardly household names. Ten days later, upon their return to Sweden, the group had made such an impact on the Japanese population that it could hardly get enough of ABBA.

Much of this success was due to a television special, simply entitled ABBA Special, in which ABBA performed many of their most popular songs from Waterloo, SOS and Dancing Queen, up to Take A Chance On Me, Eagle and Summer Night City. Three of the songs were unique live performances, and ABBA also treated the Japanese audience to an exclusive preview of If It Wasnt For The Nights from their upcoming album, Voulez-Vous.

This legendary television special is now released on DVD for the first time, complete with re-mastered stereo sound. Featuring bonus selections: a rare behind-the-scenes documentary of ABBAs visit to Japan, and the TV special performance of If It Wasnt For The Nights with an early, alternate sound mix.

@reallysecretusername charlie :'( Theres always logical reasons to why, and how countries develop. In this case: immigration. Simple and sad, but unfortunately true. Only reason you don't have these problems is because your dictators are less human :) And ofc, theres a shitload of ignorant japs like u there :)

Most(!) japanese ppl are not idiots like you though, infact they're very nice ppl! So thumbs up to them, and diseases to you =) thank you
