David Bowie in Japan in 1980, photographed by Masayoshi Sukita.

In their collaborative book Speed of Life, Sukita recalls:

“David-san had come to Japan to make a TV commercial for a drink called ‘Crystal Jun Rock.’ I received a call from Kyoto, where he was staying for about 10 days, and Yacco-san and I headed off to make a one-day documentary of David-san. He had already made himself a local and drove us everywhere himself. We went to a local shopping area, rode the local trains and went out to a disco at night. Most of the people around him were unaware of who he was, which perhaps gave him more freedom than usual. That wouldn’t have been the case in Tokyo.”
