Falling NET Killed the TV star

In 1979, The Buggles' debut single, "Video Killed the Radio Star," became a massive hit, reaching number one in the UK; it also holds the distinction of being the first music video ever aired on MTV. The Japanese title-*Radio Star no Higeki* (The Tragedy of the Radio Star)-was reportedly coined by Takashi Matsumoto, a true "magician of words." Times have changed, however, and now the "Net" has killed the TV star.
