There's something about the overall stage set-up that shouts '1980's chat show'. There's a bizzarely repressed sexuality in the girl-with-the-breath-controller. Most bands would raunch this asset up to the max. So, overall, a deeply curious proposition. Was this actually made in, say, some provincial Japanese city c. 1979? If so, all is explained. But if this was filmed just the other day, then it's an incredibly knowing pastiche which is absolute in its intentions to demonstrate that it isn't 'knowing' about 'knowing'.

For me, the plain truth is - whatever it does or doesn't do deliberately, it doesn't work. Musically and visually, it's out of date and not of sufficient intrinsic merit to make it a 'timeless classic'. But damned interesting, nonetheless...
