- The American pop vocalist Laura Branigan wins the Grand Prize for "The Lucky One" at The 13th Tokyo Music Festival held the Sunday night, April 1, 1984 in Tokio, Japan.
The winning song was composed and written by Bruce Roberts, arranged by Gene Page and produced by Jack White. The award coincided with the release of her third LP album on Atlantic Records, "Self Control".
The Grand Prize was given to artists who are recognized as more excellent. Fellow singer, Linda Ronstadt delivers the trophy to Laura and orchestrator Nelson Riddle handed her the check of 3 million yen ($ 13.400) as part of the award. Laura was so surprised and thrilled, she was unable to speak, she just could put the mic over her excited heart, and we understood her. She was the great winner among many talented finalists from several countries of the world!. Fifteen finalist from nine countries participated in the festival. The singers Laura Branigan and Pia Zadora represented to the United States.
INTERNATIONAL CONTEST
Laura compited with fourteen finalist from nine countries. Besides her, other artists also got another awards, Taco (Best Singer's award); Pia Zadora (Gold Prize); Mark Holden (Gold Prize); Limahl (Silver Prize); Hideki Saijo (Silver Prize); Ouyang Feifei (Silver Prize); Miyuki Kosaka (Nelson Riddle award) and Koji Kikkawa (Foreign Judges Award). Only singers Laura and Pia Zadora represented to the United States. Linda Ronstadt and Nelson Riddle were special guests. Rita Coolidge was the host. Inoue and María Asahina were the moderators.
This event was held in the Nippon Budokan Hall, a Martial Arts Building from Japan, located in the center of the city of Tokyo, where in addition to martial arts competitions are also held musical concerts and other shows.

* About the video: I'd been looking this video for a long time and fortunately now I have it on my channel to share with everyone. I'm so happy and I hope you enjoy it as much as I!.
This is the second segment of Laura's participation there. This is her second and final performance of "The Lucky One" after her victory. The first performance is this • Laura Branigan - The L... .
* About the trophy: It's a metal piece, high and bright, coated with crystal plates and also it's seems very heavy, as you can see when Laura left it on the lectern to sing. I read that the trophy has a weight of 35 pounds (almost 16 kg).
During many years there was a bit of mystery about the whereabouts and about whom have possession of this trophy. The sad truth is that curiously Laura never had it once she left Japan. According to what I could know, it was in the hands of Susan Joseph, Laura's manager at that time, who apparently many years later sold it to a fan. Then it went to a collector and now is property of Kathy Golik.

Você estava fantástica nessa noite my lady Laura 👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌷🌷🌺 bigs Miss you 😳😳😳❤👏👏👏👏👏
The most gorgeous intro to this song I've ever heard... Incredible performance throughout! ❤
Thank you. I try to explain to people that Laura was an International super star and clips like this gem just help prove that point. Thanks, again for your vids.
Aww! You are wonderful!! Thank you so much for help to make to know Laura to people. She is an extraordinary artist who deserves being remembered and enjoyed by the next generations.
@@LauraBraniganForever ,,Her style in her concert /performances it so unique,Every time we meet my friends or family I used to tune in Laura's precious talent,they didn't knew the name of the singer but they really love the voice,and then I showed to them the video of my ultimate Artist Laura
,oh wow all of them totally shocked to the personality of Laura and great talent.
I was a fan that was too busy with Madonna , Prince, etc, to realize she was not a one hit wonder. So for the past week I have been enjoying a superstar that is better then all of them and more. She has no attitude, backup dancers, keeps her clothes on, even though she has a great body and is so beautiful and pure inside. I know she would have forgiven me for not paying more attention. She has brought so much joy this past week by just subscribing. I had no Idea she had so many hits I loved. She is pure 80s inside and out!😍 I just hit the subscribe button thinking it would be the same song over and over again that I loved. I also went to Wiki and read her history now I want a book a really truthful one, any suggestions!?
Next generation? I'm from the 80s and am now waking up to the fact that she was a bigger and more talented then I ever knew. I surbscribed to her channel just out of curiosity and have been blown away ever since. The old generation is slowly waking up.
She really was a Superstar outside USA
I'm watching you idol, God Bless you DEAREST LAURA,we miss you
Some talented director should do a movie on the live and songs of Laura Branigan, with clips of course, she had so many things going for her and her life had tragedy, irony, and she so handsome, Irish American, common folk, it would be a hit.
Great idea 👏👌👍
My Ultimate International Artist/Musician, God BLESS your Wonderful Soul.
My favorite Laura song, and she´s singing live. What a voice!

Meravigliosa creatura che era bella Lauretta
One of the bigest singers at the world & beautiful in my decade
Wow Laura Branigan! So humble
Linda Ronstadt tells Laura, ""Watch it, it's heavy. ".
@P McGill Yes, it is heavy and not ment to be moved around. I wonder who the person was that created the trophy? Yes, Laura always deserved better direction by her management at the time. I would wonder myself if she stuck with Sid Bernstein.
Good time to check out (again) last December's 13th, Mo Rocca's podcast on Laura. ;)
Love love love
#LauraBraniganForever
She's incomparable
Much Love from #Philippines

Great channel
Thank you so much!!
Linda
Deservedly won
2:48 You can break away or you can stay
You choose your life, you're free to fly
Go on and fly
Go on and fly
She had it in her own time
To get away and try to find
Somewhere to go, to run
She saw the world through open eyes
And never let a soul inside
Don't come too close, so close
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, you got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Her soul was strong, her heart was tough
And when she felt she had enough
She tore herself away
Love in the dark is all you see
Get what you want, not what you need
You look the other way
Never letting on to what it's all become
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one
Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
로라 보고싶다🍻🍵

生で見てたなあ ガチで西條秀樹に勝てるのはローラブラニガンだけ 歌唱力すごいね
Have she ever Go in Brazil?
Hi, do you have the video of Raffaella Carrà's performance at the Tokyo Music Festival in 1979?
This was maybe a song written for Donna Summer. But good songs always come up. Especially when they bring it to LB.
What the hell happened to Linda Ronstadt she was so popular in the 70s and had hits in the '80s you never hear her hits, ever!
Was there a category for Best New Artist when Gloria was nominated? If so, who won it? not cindi loper, no?
so this is the 13th edition. did linda rostandt win one too before?
According the info I found Linda didn't won it before. In this edition she performed but out of competition, just as special guest artist.
Linda and nelson riddle were guests in this competition. If Linda was a contestant here, for sure, she would have won here.
By the way during the grammy year when Gloria was nominated? Was there a category for Best New Artist at that time too?
i guess it was 1983
@@willa435 huh? who won as best new artist??
@@AdvantageYT I think cindy lauper
What she do in the minute 2:43 to 2:46????
whatever happened to the heavy trophy? did she get to keep it?
Hi Khan! According to some information that reached us, Laura never had it in her possession outside of the contest. At her time, her manager Susan Joseph would have taken it -with Laura's express or implied permission or not, we don't know exactly - and kept it for years. Then old it to someone. In turn, that person sold it and a fan acquired it and gave it to Kathy Golik (who at the time of Laura's death was who managed her official website) thinking that this would honor Laura's memory.
are there any other american singers who won this award?
Yes, you can read about them here ➡️ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Music_Festival
she should a gotten a grammy for gloria as well.. instead some forgetable song won it, esshhhhh!
...that's true. I love "Gloria" too. And it was a big hit song for Laura.
What was the song that won the grammy that year vs Gloria?
@@SuperReedScott i guess they gave it to some other famous artist of the 70s who never won a grammy so maybe they felt she had to win one finally while branigan was only a new kid on the block lol
True
Why does'nt she talk so much? Maybe she was bewildered in Japan?
俺以外に日本人いる？
いますよ！
はい居ます。80年代の「外タレ」が来日してTVに出てくれてる映像って、今観てると日本人としてはむちゃくちゃ恥ずかしいです・・・
Ur always be in my hearth.
Excellent
