Does anyone else get goosebumps watching the June 1985 Eidophor screen recording?

Right at 02:14 in 'Memory Hatch', she stops singing completely and just stares directly into camera 2.
If you look at the lower third timecode on the broadcast feed, the studio audio meter doesn't drop to zero -- the 14.2 Hz sub-tone stays active.

I will trade any Japanese 7-inch idol single with the obi intact for a cleaner dub of this tape.

You're seeing ghosts. The European Eidophor projectors in 1985 had terrible frame-buffer lag when receiving NTSC downconverts.

I was 14 when that aired in Germany. My dad thought the satellite link had frozen until the drummer started improvising.

In the Akasaka reel box recovered in Tokyo, there's a handwritten studio note: 'Do not rebroadcast Hamburg segment 09.'
