"The show itself and Mick Ronson's guitar performance were both great and it was a blast for all the Japanese fans. I asked Kansai-san, who designed the costumes, what he thought about it and he just said… 'People are the most beautiful when naked!'" Masayoshi Sukita

"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.

"This was the first studio shoot in a long time, these shots were taken to promote David-sans first album for Sony records, Heathen. The checked scarf looks good on him. 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

"A few days before the show at Radio City Music Hall, 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

This is a very special large format piece, and comes in a choice of two very large sizes — to better appreciate the individual frames. The image chosen for the front cover of the "Heroes" album is top right, and the contact sheet shows the build-up to that key photograph.
