Tribute to Prince: 'Sign o' the Times'

Besides the wonderful but apparently accidental tribute put on by Tokyo Tower, gestures honouring the recently passed Purple One have been few and far between in Tokyo. One of the more noteworthy ones comes courtesy of Shibuya's Humax Cinema, where Prince-directed concert flick Sign O’ the Times (1988) will be screened for eight days over Golden Week. Proving that Prince's music was best served by presenting it without extra trimmings, the flick catches the tour to plug his best-ever album as it hits Rotterdam, with drummer Sheila E and percussionist/sexbomb Cat vying for attention with the hip-snaked diminutive genius himself – and even a convincingly groovy Sheena Easton cameo. Bring your favourite Prince record with you to the cinema and get ¥500 off the entrance fee.
