2.1 Billion views. It was a catchy song and the video really brought Anime to the masses.

Kind of a one hit wonder group. I have the LP that ‘Take on me’ came out on, and remember the video well. But nothing else on that album really stood out as I recall.

One of my all time favorite videos. It always makes the list when I get in the mood for some nostalgia. This cat sounds like he's handling things well and I'm glad for that.

Many thanks to him and his bandmates for providing that and best wishes for him and his circle. d:^)

Never heard of him or the band, but he has my condolences. My dad died from Parkinsons and it was horrific.

You have to admire his 94-year-old father’s attitude: ‘I use whatever works’” LOLOL. Indeed!

They had several other hits in Europe and also did the theme song for one of the James Bond movies.

Why would you assume that, and why would you post that? The story is about his Parkinson’s diagnosis. The man has 4 children. Something wrong with you.

What Bond movie featured A-ha? I think you are thinking of Duran-Duran “View to a Kill”.

The Living Daylights.

They are a fabulous band with many hits. They just didn’t get the credit they deserved here in the US.

So they did. I usually remember Bond themes. But Living Daylights (was that Timothy Dalton?) was kind of a yawner in the Bond series (to me anyway). I guess the theme song didnt leave a big impression either.

My wife’s ALL-TIME favorite video! I’m saddened to learn of his Parkinson’s battle. One of my brothers in law has been battling it for about three years. It’s slowly and surely progressing. He’s practically bedridden now, in an assisted living facility. It’s sad to see it.

I’m sorry to see such a talented artist, or ANYONE for that matter, struck with this disease.
