Eva Hejzlarová převlečená za fiktivní japonskou zpěvačku Icubaši Subaru zpívá v silvestrovském vydání zábavného pořadu ČST Praha „Televarieté", který byl jednou z „vlajkových lodí" normalizační televizní zábavy, hit č.1 v hitparádách několika evropských států z roku 1981, píseň „Japanese Boy" (hudba a text: Bobby Heatlie).

V originále tuto píseň zpívala britská (skotská) folková zpěvačka Mary Sandemanová, která kvůli ní přijala pseudonym „Aneka" a japonskou image. K překvapení jejímu, Bobbyho Heatlieho i producenta Neila Rosse se píseň stala hitem. Po krátkém nahlédnutí do světa popu se Aneka vrátila ke skotské tradiční hudbě, kterou zpívá pod svým pravým jménem.

(Pozn.: Byl to ze strany tvůrců Telebarieté takový silvestrovský vtípek - diváci totiž neměli tušení, že jim nezpívá skutečná Japonka. Prozradil jim to Vladimír Dvořák až na samý závěr pořadu. Tady na YouTubu by to ovšem stejně jaksi nevyznělo, tak jsem se to rozhodl vyjasnit hned, abych předešel zbytečným nedorozuměním.)

režie: Pavel Háša


Czech singer Eva Hejzlarová disguised as a fictional Japanese singer Itsubashi Subaru performing in the New Year's Eve episode of the Czech TV show 'Televarieté' several European countries No.1 hit single from 1981, a song called 'Japanese Boy' (music and lyrics by: Bobby Heatlie).

The original performer of this song was British (Scottish) folk singer Mary Sandeman who adopted a stage name 'Aneka' and a Japanese image because of this song. To her, Bobby Heatlie's and producer Neil Ross' surprise, the song became a major hit. After her brief foray into pop Aneka established herself as an accomplished singer of Scottish traditional music under her real name.

(Notice: This was something like a New Year's Eve joke from the creators of this show. The audience had no clue that the singer is not a real Japanese woman. They were told that by Mr. Dvořák /conferencier/ in the very end of the show. Here on YouTube, however it would not have the same effect, so I decided to clarify it now, to prevent misunderstandings.)

  • A Japanese version of this song could have been perfect, which is missing, I suppose.

  • But according to Sandeman, this song failed to chart in Japan itself because "they thought it sounded too Chinese"...

    Could be because Japanese and Chinese share a cold relationship between themselves ;-)
