• "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

This is one of my favourite portraits." Masayoshi Sukita "Portraits are always the hardest thing to do seriously. It feels, ultimately, like the deer in the headlights." David Bowie

  • "David-san came to Japan with Iggy Pop to promote the latter's album The Idiot - that Bowie-san had produced. The photos were meant to have a punk feel. David-san had asked Yacco to get as many leather jackets as possible. The whole session was over an hour." After this photo session, Sukita selected about 20 photos to give to David, including the Heroes LP sleeve. When David contacted Sukita to say he wanted to use it, Sukita was delighted. Heroes went on to be voted Melody Maker magazines best cover image of the year. "I was very proud. I am still very fond of this photo." Masayoshi Sukita.
