A vote for "Sound in 'S'".   Yes, it is cheesy and awful in a way only
the 1970's could be, but watch Kate's face as she performs.  This must
be a very early clip as she seems to be thrilled to be performing for
such a large audience for the first time.  It isn't often that we've seen
her that enthusiastic about performing.  I really like her energy and
excitement on that and the other Japanese performances.
