Sorry for the horrible quality. I have audio of Akina's speech before this portion of the broadcast, but do not have video. I may re-upload this in the future with that audio attached the beginning.

This footage is very hard to come by, as Kondo's agency has a lot of pull over what media regarding their people stays online. For those who do not know, Akina Nakamori attempted to take her own life inside Kondo's house in July 1989, following a series of scandals and rumors, biggest being a photo of Kondo kissing then-rival Seiko Matsuda in the US. Months later, this sudden broadcast was announced, with almost noone knowing what it was for exactly. The gold screens made some assume it was a wedding announcement (refer to Momoe Yamaguchi's press conference) I did not translate 100% of the dialogue, only the parts spoken directly by either Nakamori or Kondo I made sure to subtitle.
