ISBN: no ISBN Date: January 1, 1982 AUTHORS: Japan, publisher unknown. | |
| Japanese comic book, featuring Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Sylvian (166 pages). | |
The main story in the comic involves David being in the UK and missing Ryuichi. He decides to visit Tokyo to further the "romance" and finds himself in competition with Akiko Yano, Ryuichi's wife. Quite a humorous story written by a woman who was a huge Japan fan. She caricatures herself on the cover as looking very guilty about writing such a homo-erotic story, possibly in parody of the lyrics to 'Forbidden Colours'.
(Sincere thanks to Craig Peacock for this review).
Additional info on the cover: The front cover shot is an alternate take from the cover of the Japanese 7" of Forbidden Colours. The back cover picture is from a fashion shoot David and Ryuichi did for an ad campaign for a department store, however it was never used.
