English term or phrase: Rock's junkie royal
ヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンドに関する記事です

再結成後のヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンドのステージを見た後の感想です

Lou Reed bulges out of his black T-shirt and blue denims like a cross between Bryan Adams and Nosferatu: the pebble glasses make him look more like a pop professor than real pop professors do. *Rock's junkie royal * has turned in every detail of his choreography, into an aerobic MTV act.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your help. As for Japanese expression itself, I'll think harder. But thanks to you I got what it means.

agree  Yumico Tanaka (X): I would use "top" instead of daiichi though. I wonder if junkie is well used in Japanese?
