"A few days before the show at Radio City Music Hall, David Bowie did a photo session, a rehearsal and an interview at RCA Studio. He went on to do another rehearsal at Radio City Music Hall. Yacco-San was working as the stylist, running here and there with costumes by Kansai Yamamoto that shed brought over from Japan. They looked marvellous. " Masayoshi Sukita

"We didn't get a lot of chances to shoot him, because of the lack of time and the problem of distance. Then we came up with an idea to create a mannequin so that we could shoot his portraits anytime we wanted. He was so co-operative in its production. The idea of the doll is that the old skin is flaking off and a new self is re-born. Each portrait I have made this way over 30 years is always a new and unique, timeless piece of work that I cherish." Masayoshi Sukita

"Bowie had come to Japan to film a commercial for a drink called Crystal Jun Rock Sunita received a call from Kyoto, where Bowie was staying for 10 days, and off he went with Yacco to make a one-day documentary of Bowie. Bowie had already made himself a local and drove them everywhere himself. We went to a local shopping area, rode the local trains and went out to a disco night. Most of the people around him were unaware of who he was, which perhaps gave him more freedom than usual." Masayoshi Sukita
