Duration	approx. 15 minutes
Watch Out For	The interview - each ABBA member concentrates hard on listening to the translation of the Japanese interviewer "Summer Night City" - Agnetha and Frida both have the little black jackets removed exposing their shoulders - a familiar outfit but looks so different this way. Agnetha's wink during "Thank You For the Music"
Transcript	Difficult to transcribe because the questions are asked in Japanese, and then asked in English I guess (can't hear) to ABBA. But their answers are clear, so you can just imagine the questions: Björn: "We started as a group around '73" Agnetha: "That's our initials of our first names" Benny: "I think the most appealing point is standing in the middle here!" Björn: "We do it in the studio usually to put one harmony on top of the other until it sounds right"
