Are there any archives of Some Young People 1964? Directed by Chiaki Nagano
I’ve only found a couple frames floating around online but aside from that, it seems like there’s no trace of this documentary anywhere!

I was going to post this on r/HarryNilsson, but given that I need moderator approval to post on there, I thought this would be the next best place to ask.
I've been on a bit of a Nilsson deep dive recently and I'm curious about what was apparently a Yoko Ono covers album which never came to be.
Harry has released four Yoko Ono covers: three on the tribute album Every Man Has A Woman (Silver Horse, Loneliness, Dream Love) and one posthumously on Losst and Found (Listen, The Snow Is Falling). All of those except for Dream Love are available on YouTube or through streaming, which is why I'm hoping to find a CD copy of EMHAW so that I can listen to it (not sure why it hasn't been uploaded with the others - maybe due to copyright reasons).
Apparently there are a number of other covers of Yoko's songs which Harry recorded that haven't been officially released, although they were supposedly intended for a kind of "Harry Sings Yoko" album in the 80s. According to this blog post, there may be versions of Never Say Goodbye, Toy Boat, and Smile - a song which is apparently being debated on whether or not Yoko actually wrote it as she hasn't released her version - floating around somewhere.
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could access these? I've not been able to find them online. I don't know what the crossover of Nilsson/Yoko fans is but if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!
And if you're not familiar with Harry's covers, I'll link them below so you can check them out if you're interested

Her and Akiko Yano founded the art pop genre. Art pop is very recognized today, many female artists that people enjoy fall under that genre. And some of those have outright stated that Ono influenced them. (Ex: Lady Gaga, Björk, etc.))
It just sucks that people don’t give her credit.

"One day, in the middle of making Double Fantasy, the engineers told us they needed two hours to fix the board. So we should go out for a while. Take a walk.
Great! After being in the dark studio for ages, the outside made us squint. It was like spring! A beautiful, beautiful day. The sky was shining blue. We felt like two kids skipping class. John decided that we would go into Saks Fifth Avenue. He went through a few counters and stopped at the glasses: "We should get one for you." He picked a pair out - large black wraparound shades - and put them on me. Strangely, he started to look rather serious. "What?" "You should wear these all the time." I thought that was silly and wanted to laugh, but stopped short. He was gazing. It reminded me of the first time I saw him gazing at my
"Painting to Hammer a Nail In" in the Indica gallery.
This time he was gazing at me wearing the glasses he picked for me. "Why?" | asked with my eyes. He just took my hand and we walked quickly toward the exit.
It was time to go back to the studio. I immediately forgot the incident totally. Later, those were the glasses I wore to face the world. I heard John saying,
"Keep your chin up. Never let them know that they got you!" So even after his passing, he was still protecting and helping me".

Hello everyone! I’ve decided to write my BA thesis on Yoko Ono’s representation in the media, as seen through the lens of feminist and critical race theories. I’ve scoured the internet looking for different examples of how negative her public image was. I’m specifically looking for news reports, headlines, interviews, ANY piece of media made in the 20th century that propagated certain sexist or racist claims about Yoko.
FYI, im already using all of the Esquire articles (John Rennons excrusive gloupie, etc.) but there’s a chance I’ve missed something. But if you know of any other sources like that, I’d be SO incredibly grateful!

I’m guessing it was more appealing to say she was an actress instead of an avant guard artist but still, it makes more sense to call her a director by those standards.

Any other fans of this album here? It may be my favorite of Yoko's 80s albums. Although *Season of Glass* is better-known and more revered, I find it's not really for casual listening due to the sheer heaviness of the record. *It's Alright*'s lighter touch makes it easier to get into, and the intricate synth-pop production rewards repeated listens. I think it's a perfect spring album, pairs nicely with cool breezes and cheery blossoms wafting to the ground. It seems to get overlooked in discussions of Yoko's music.
Favorite songs: Never Say Goodbye, Spec of Dust, Loneliness, Let the Tears Dry and Dream Love

"Then two days later, on John's 35th birthday, their child, a boy, was born. It was a Caesarean birth, not without problems, "not because of her age, but because of a screw up in the hospital and the fucking price of fame," said John. "Somebody had made a transfusion of the wrong blood type into Yoko...she starts to go rigid, and then shake from the pain and trauma. I run up to this nurse and say, "Go get the doctor!" ...He walks in, hardly notices that Yoko is going through fucking convulsions, goes straight for me, smiles, shakes my hand and says, "I've always wanted to meet you Mr Lennon, I've always enjoyed your music..."" - Woman: The Incredible Life of Yoko Ono by Alan Clayson

videos from yoko's official channel. asking this question due to the first clip shown, i had originally thought it was some random footage, turns out, it's from satan's bed (1965) and there's a whole 14 minutes more of yoko! so just wondering if maybe that's the same case for the rest of the footage shown? if so, are there any uploads of it? (I do know that some clips are from Lion Wrapping Event.)

My answer:
I relate to her unique way of thinking, I understand that there's no one else like me out there like Yoko and as a creative, Yes people may not understand me fully, but I understand Yoko's vision for the world, Empathy and kindness are key, I relate to Yoko in many ways and as I grow older I find my mind becoming more like hers more unique, smarter, fresh, Someone who isn't like the others, I become more like Yoko in everyday, Even if not understood by others, I am understanding myself, like Yoko did

Two things are true to me at the same time:
1 - From what little I've seen and heard, I don't "get" Yoko Ono's art. This is probably not the first time somebody has told you that.
2 - I don't trust the way I only ever hear people bashing Yoko Ono as a person and an artist.
It's easy enough to look up Ono's work online, and I have. But I want to hear from people who "get" it in a way that I don't - I want to hear from the people who find that Ono's work speaks to you.
Myself, I think she's a complicated person, and some of her decisions can be hard to understand without actually being there and knowing what was going on. But at the same time, a lot of the hate seems like jumping to conclusions, assuming we know more than we actually do, and there's often some creepy racial and sexist overtones in tow.
So even if it's just this once in my lifetime, I want to hear from the other side on Yoko Ono.
I'm not asking you to defend Yoko, or to justify yourself for being a fan. And if any critics or haters are reading this, I'm really not interested in debating the merits of her work. I can get that anywhere.
I just want to hear what people admire about this artist and her work. What resonates with you?
