Puffy's SONGS TV appearance

Just a few hours ago, Puffy made their appearance on NHK's "SONGS". I've got the US TV Japan broadcast set to record on my DVR (it should be tonight), and I'll be bringing you whatever images I can from it... though they'll probably be in the form of photos taken of my TV screen. I don't currently have a way to transfer video from my cable box to my computer, though I may have to remedy that for this performance. My TV is a 42" LCD HDTV and my camera a Canon SLR, though, so photos should look decent enough.

The list of featured songs is pretty impressive:

Electric Beach Fever
Hi Hi

Special Medley:
Kore ga Watashi no Ikirumichi
Kuchibiru Motion
Circuit no Musume

Ajia no Junshin
Oriental Diamond

I've been reading reactions from Japanese fans on mixi and they seem almost universally overwhelmed - even moreso than their Japanese fans usually are. Sounds like it was a pretty good program. Can't wait to see it myself. If I run across any screen grabs before I manage to get my own, I'll post or link to them here.

UPDATE: Ugh, TV Japan is a week behind. And according to their PDF program guide, at least, the show is pre-empted next week! I'm pretty pissed off if that's true, but I'm hopefully missing something. My DVR seems to still think it's on, it's showing a scheduled recording. But I'm not convinced.

UPDATE 2: Disappointing word via email from TV Japan! The show is, in fact, pre-empted next week, and they "haven't decided" when they're going to show the Puffy episode. The one positive is that they did use the word "when" and not "if", so it seems it'll be on at some point... but given how slow they are to update their listings, god knows if anyone will even know about it before it airs.

This is really annoying - the music shows on TV Japan are half the reason why I subscribe to it, and now they're not even showing a major performance by my favorite band on a series that they carry. Grrrrr!
