Additional information

ABBA performed (mimed) Dancing Queen and were briefly interviewed. Before the performance, they were shown posing for cameras. The footage of Dancing Queen had Japanese subtitles over the screen most of the time (tried not to show too many here as it's REALLY ANNOYING!), presumably translating the lyrics).

Firstly they were asked how their spend their vast amounts of money then Agnetha was asked if she would turn around (so they could see her "sexy bottom") but she said, "No I can't and I have no answer to that, you have to ask somebody else!" so they asked Frida and she said "I don't know" in a funny voice. They were then asked about the possibility of coming back to Japan and Benny said they hoped to do a concert tour. They were interviewed by Yuji Konno (who committed suicide in 2010) and ex-actress Rino Katase.

Agnetha's black outfit included a black scarf tied around her neck - a little different to how we usually saw that outfit.

Thanks a million to Mayumi Taheri
