When I was a fifth grader in school, I came across a band from the UK, called "Bay City Rollers". I don't remember exactly which TV show featured them. Probably, one possibility is
a variety program called "Ginza Now" which was popular at that time.
I was really into their songs like "Bye Bye Baby" or "Saturday Night".
I clearly remember the moment that I had stood in front of an electronics store and had gazed at the screen with my heart beating fast. There was the live show recorded by the shop owner. Back then, video decks weren't common around typical Japanese households.

Through the glass of the storefront, I saw them on the screen wearing those lovely rea tartan check costumes.
I have loved the pattern of tartan check ever since. And that was also the moment when the UK became a dream country for me.
