I was amazed to find that YouTube has this video, a long-lost rarity from the early days of anime music videos and the first one I ever saw. I got it on the end of a Castle of Cagliostro fansub I got from a fansub trading group. The video quality on YouTube is pretty bad, but that's because it probably comes from multigenerational 15-20-year-old VHS. Even for all of that, you can tell that the editing is amazing—and the song is a perfect choice.
Just for contrast, here's Tommy Shaw's own music video for that song. Notice the video has no cuts whatsoever, it's one long continuous shot (and thus, one single take) from beginning to end. Wonder how many run-throughs it took them to get it right?
