Japan were the real deal. They had everything - the songs, the sounds, the arrangements, the musicianship, and style that launched dozens of imitators. Sadly, the imitators had more success than Japan, but that’s probably because these songs made a few more listening demands than Duran or Spandau. There is jazz here, there is prog, there is funk and ambient electronica, there is dance, there is Roxy, Bowie, Eno, and Fripp, all in a beautifully wrapped aural presentation box that still sounds gorgeous and fresh some forty years on. Truly unique. Everything from Quiet Life to Tin Drum is worth your time - the earlier glam recordings are almost from a different band (almost, but not entirely unconnected). But don’t miss out on what the band members did after Japan folded. There are numerous collaborations. There is the Japan-that-was-not in Rain Tree Crow. There’s David Sylvian’s solo career, which scales some extraordinary musical heights. There’s Mick Karn’s rubbery fretless bass playing - solo and with others, including with Bauhaus’ Pete Murphy for the short-lived Dali’s Car. There are the Jansen/Barbieri albums. If you’re just discovering Japan or you’ve not followed the later music made by its members, you have a beautiful and stimulating journey ahead, should you choose to explore. I hope it’s clear that I love this band as much today as I did when I discovered them in 1980. They’re worth your time and attention. The coolest and most musically gifted band no one ever talks about.

In 1980 I walked into T.O.T.S. nightclub in Southend and this song was playing. I remember thinking "Who are these guys"?. I bought every record they made after that and still regularly play them today at 60 years of age. Brilliant musicians and song writers and way ahead of their time. The sadly late Mick Kahn's fretless base playing became their signature sound. Fantastic.

Just a brilliant pioneering band. This brings back so many wonderful memories. I got heavily into Japan at 16 in 1982…perfect timing as I had the ‘pretty boy’ looks, David Sylvian hair and copied his dress sense (obviously not as good as Mr Sylvian)…I worked at my local Tesco in Northfield (Birmingham) and had a ‘fan club’ with girls waiting for me outside the store when I left, screaming and shouting 😂…I made the local paper, and got threatened with written warnings if they kept coming into the store screaming! I lived off that look for about 7 years, and got lots of attention - until pretty boys had their day and the girls moved on 😂 Life goes by so quickly, you move on, and you forget. Now 40 years later at 56 - I would need a wig to replicate the Sylvian hair, am heavily overweight, and the looks went in my late 40’s, but after hearing the sad news of Ruichi Sakamotos passing, I’ve been rediscovering Japan and David Sylvian, and forgot so many songs…it’s genuinely emotional hearing them all again and thinking back to truly brilliant times with a smile. Japan were a unique and ridiculously talented group, as is David Sylvian, so I’m looking forward to listening to everything he has been recording over the years with great anticipation.

As of September 2021, I may be only 19 years old but, courtesy of my dad mostly, I continue to dive deeper into the realm of music of the past century and further. I'm actually starting to teach my dad about music in his day he didn't even know about! Everything from this to the New Romantics/New Wave including Duran Duran, to Progressive Rock and all its subgenres including Progressive Metal and neo-prog (Richard Barbieri went on to join Porcupine Tree after Japan and Rain Tree Crow), Jazz Fusion and Classical. I wish more people my age, or at least in my age demographic, can listen to and appreciate older music. Born in 2002, I obviously wasn't around to witness the growth of these bands/artists (and consequently my heroes) in real time, but at least I have an unending stream of music to enjoy and discover for years to come. The fountain of all this music seems to replenish itself for me, and that is immensely satisfying. I really enjoy watching these videos precisely for the quality of the film (apart from the music of course). Right at the beginning at 0:02 when Barbieri is playing the opening theme, there's a flicker in the image that is so representative of that era, and I think it really adds to the aesthetic of the day. It's possible for me to be transported back in time and forget about the things that trouble me today through the time machine that is music and video. I pay homage and respect to this music by performing originals in my own band Lucidae. This music, and its beloved aesthetics, will never die. ❤

This song is something so extra special. I have listened to it countless of times and still it makes my endorphins go crazy. Some times everything just match and leaves a gem for later generations.

I just love this song. I decided to check out some of Japan’s music after seeing them recommended. I have listened to this song countless times over the last few days. I may have heard it on the radio as a very little kid but I’m not sure. I’m so glad I found this song and other gems by Japan.

I was 12 when this was released I loved it so much I couldn’t wait to go to the record shop to buy it. I never ever get sick of hearing it. It’s a classic track, it’s timeless and it has so many great memories attached to it for me.

Late to this party, and directed to this band from hearing bassist Nick Beggs (formerly of Kajagoogoo and more recently of The Mute Gods) talk about liking them. Turns out Japan's bassist, Mick Karn, created inner sleeve artwork for Kajagoogoo's LP Islands, but sorry to hear he passed away from cancer in 2011). Kewl tune! ❤☮🌎
