It has been decided that the film will be screened at 109 Cinemas Osaka Expocity for one week only starting Friday, May 17th.

The film was shown at 109 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku in January this year, and was a huge success, with the theater selling out every day, so it was decided to show it in Osaka as well. Also, due to its popularity, it will be shown again at 109 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku from Friday, May 31st.

This live performance is a complete reproduction of his solo debut album, “Saravah!”, released in 1978.

Following the artist name notation at the time, the performance was held under the name of Yukihiro Takahashi. Eleven musicians, including Tatsuo Hayashi, who participated in the recording of the original album, Yoshiyuki Sahashi, and Dr.kyOn, recreated Yukihiro’s “origins.”

We hope you enjoy this special edition with ultra-high sound quality that can only be experienced at “109 Cinemas.”

In addition, to coincide with the release of this film, a limited-time pop-up store will be set up selling original goods and other items.
