StEx Japan 1990 - Light at the End of the Tunnel *read desc*
A clip from the second touring production of Starlight Express in Japan. In this video, Rusty and Pearl have their final moment together before the rest of the cast come onstage to perform Light at the End of the Tunnel, the finale of the show. Following this song, the cast would do their skate-round and bows before ending the show.
I won't list actors for this cast because that's a death wish with something of this quality (sans still being able to tell Bobby Collins apart from his intense stage makeup). The clip came from Facebook and I've had it saved for ages with intent to post it once I got brave enough. Very clearly, it's not something I've recorded, and if someone has a problem with me posting it, I will gladly take it down. Just ask me!
But to answer the big question: this *is* indeed part of a full recording that the cast of the Japan tour got when they were doing the show. This full recording hasn't made it to fans' hands in recent times, so unfortunately this and the clip video posted by Kenichiro Maeno (Yamamoto in the show) are all that those in the fandom have of the actual performance itself. (And yes, it still hurts that I haven't found anything else. ;_;)
Aside from that, I figured it would be a nice closing to the posting of Starlight clips on this channel. This is my main channel, and I came pretty close to losing it over the Bochum videos, so since I don't have anything else I can safely post (except memes or discussion videos..... or something on stress-styling cosplay wigs or reading fanfics which NO ONE WANTS, I GUARANTEE YA), I am sorry to say that it's the end of the line for me. It's been fun, and I still love Starlight, but unless the rest of this footage hits the internet, I don't think I'll be on the YT rails anymore.
At least 'til the show someday makes it back to the US. ♥♥♥

The briefest video I've ever made. Also the first video I've actually made in nine years. And it might not be the last one. Not the best idea I've had, tbh. Starlight Express is property of Andrew Lloyd Webber/Really Useful Group. Other properties used belong to their respective owners.

One features Greaseball and some of the Nationals, while the other one features Rusty and the Coaches. An interesting thing to note i...
