This photograph has special significance for Sukita because it was chosen by David Bowie to blow up to a very large size and display in the foyer of the Rainbow Theatre for his concerts there on 19 and 20 August 1972. As Sukita explains: "I was very pleased about it. It proved that David-san really did like my work, and that was very important to me."

For this shoot, Sukita rented the studio from a Japanese photographer called Hiroshi Yoda and they did the session a week before Davids show at The Rainbow Theatre. Immediately beforehand, Bowie had been at a shoot with David Bailey. The whole session lasted just two hours. Some photographs from the shoot were featured in a popular Japanese fashion magazine, an-an, receiving a great deal of response from the readers.
