Ginza NOW!
Ginza NOW! (ぎんざNOW!) was a Japanese television variety program that aired on TBS television from October 2nd 1972 to September 28th 1979. The program was divided into several segments dedicated to concrete themes and music genres. Each segment was hosted by a different host and broadcast on a different day of the week.
In June 1977, The Runaways appeared in the PopTeen Pops segment, which was typically broadcast live every Thursday. The band has done a live performance of two songs and got interviewed by Isamu Koshimizu and Miki Mizuno in between songs. After the performance, each member of the band received a traditional Japanese kimono as a gift from the television production.

Description:
The first few seconds of Queens Of Noise are missing, and there is another cut right after the first verse, but the rest of the performance is complete along with interviews. The picture quality is not the best as it comes from a very high-generation VHS, and there's a lot of compression as well.
