STUPENDA...CAPOLAVORO...

Before he followed Bowie, along with a whole generation of singers, down the baritone path.

an extraordinary band, absolutely not understood at the time. they deserved much more.

I've told my friend that if I'm ever in a coma this is the one piece of music that will bring me back!

クソ懐かしいな😂出美汁❗

What a treasure

Lovely ! Vocals David Sylvian and Ingrid Chavez, piano Ryuichi Sakamoto and drums Manu Katché.

Haha, brilliant! Been looking for this one for ages. Frits Spits (the interviewer) his English is truely hilarious...

Dr Shakamoto

I am so grateful I grew up in an era of such incredible freedom. Freedom in every possible way you can imagine. Freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom to create art that was totally original. And the reason why it was such a great time of artistic creativity was because it was before capitalism got its greedy hands on it and turned it into a product to make a profit.

埼玉の田舎者がJAPANのグッズ欲しさに御茶ノ水(神田だったかな？)まで行ったっけ😊 兎に角彼らのビジュアルは素晴らしく、勿論曲も大好きでした❤ まさかこの曲にKZbinで巡り会えるとは✨

土屋さん当時大活躍 CMもよく出てたし 日本の音楽シーンでは時の人でした

The Forever Genius Sakamoto

❤

Never ever will I tire of listening to this ❤

So beautiful ❤ At the funeral of my twin we played this song. She was also a big fan of David Sylvian en Ryuichi Sakamoto

An outstanding song, I think he had help with the lyrics from Bowie & musically from Sakamoto. I remember when Japan started & Sylvian tried to copy Bowie's voice but later found it worked better with more of a Ferry influence. They were average & his lyrics never had so much poignant depth.

Great music

Utterly perplexing and frustrating that this version of one of Japan's best songs was never released

No one read Mick's autobiography? Socmel. Some damn good makeup and I guess some time between filming everyone. ;)

Is this song inspired by the book by Michael Mcdowell?

Japan took over my life from early on in my teenage years. David Sylvian now occupies most of my time.

David Sylvian is fantastic and this is my favourite of his if I have to choose (Maybe Red Guitar as well :)

This is bamboo houses.😂

Was this the main hall or the smaller upstairs section? I ask this as someone who has only been to Paradiso in the 2000s. I was a 7-year-old in Florida at the time this was recorded. ;)

Just incredible! There”s A kind of magic between these Guys….

You keep me. Strong and arlert

The only way out is through. We enjoyed the peak.

💕💕💕💕💕🇯🇵

Lovely slice of UK electronica

A simply magnificent song...

my only time seeing David. Incredible show. Wish the picture was better....

♡♡♡♡

No matter what Sylvian says, this is superior. We didn't want a re-vocal with extra bits added along with Ingrid Chavez, we wanted (and still want the original). Quite a selfish old man IMO. Japan wasn't just him...

劃時代的經典，向這部片致敬，並祈禱戰爭永不再發生，人類互相包容理解。

Dude, this song reminds me of Rolly.. 😊

Mick karn ........ in my opinion the best fretless bass player EVER !!!!!!

My love wears forbidden colors…♥️

Thanks, Nitsua

The first one, and the 2nd is Utada version have voice. Other is HERETIC

My era teenager at the time ...this band so under rated... shoukd have gotten the recognition they deserved

Starship, IVE and David Guetta totally ruined this song.

In what exact location was the video filmed? Spain or Morocco?

I didn't even know of Japan at this point. It took a couple of years more before I bought Tin Drum, barely a teenager in the US. Who would have thought I'd have a twitter discussion recently about marimbas with Steve Jansen almost 40 years later. He shared some great links.

Rob being/playing awesome!

❤

Piu' bella la versione di David Bowie però

I guess all that really matters is that love's flame flares high on all the fuel that we can feed it while we're alive...... This song is a testament to that.....

この時のインタビューって、テレビ向けに言ってたんだろうね タバコ吸いながら、こう言っとけば良いだろうって思える
