On the actual performance of Quiet Life you can hear Mick's bass much clearer and even his backup singing. Thanks for sharing this.

The interviews are unintentional comedy gold. When they panned down the band at the beginning - David trying not to laugh and Rob’s eyes 😂 asking the usual daft questions about their make up and girlfriends etc 😂😂😂

Japan seem to have influenced the look of Japanese anime characters and as well the current glam Asian boy bands. Great find! Japan should have been big in America but maybe because they broke up just as MTV was taking off in the US. Japan were looking 80s new wave in the 70s! - Way ahead of their time.

Poor bloke, having to be dragged out the house to go on this sh1tty gig.

Many thanks for this, Paul..... I saw it many years ago and had completely forgotten about it.

Only live version of Quiet life ive found and they are fantastic: the pretty boys can play as well @ superb !

omg poor Mike, I think I would be rather unconfortable in this situation 😅 it's look like a nightmare for me 😅

Brilliant . Do you think it’s too late to write in with the answer to the question ? 😂

👏👏👏👏👏

グラムからニューロマンティックに移行中の Japanてすね。日本語の歌詞の訳がまつたく英語と違いますね。シーケンサー使いまくりで ドナ・サマーのプロデューサーに代わった頃 ですね。

Kept awake too long only to be pied in the face for thanks. I wouldn't have the patience Mick had.

Mich Karn on Tiswas. This guy is the most sophisticated , intelligent bass player ever and he's on Tiswas..Mad.

When we were Young

They were so young and so talented. Super cool band!

Such a shame that in the exactly moment Mick Karn was speaking the video drop! 😢

Tomorrow I will start my first lesson in the Japanese language. My god, Sylvian and the band had to wait this long; my Heroes since RhodesiA but Quiet Life made them my Angels. Watashi Wa Arthur Desu.

they are not good at roughing it yet, but they are full of confidence and ther relaxed playing style makes me numb

Thanks for this, Mick looked like me in 1985, my own mother used to get us confused on tv.

13 years old were as it gone

stupid

Did Sally James say "David Silverman"

I wonder if he agreed to custard pie thing prior or he just assumed he’d get it as it was their thing to do?

Could’ve should’ve been one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen.

What a beautiful man and a great talent! I was so lucky I got to see him perform at The Bottom Line in NYC. I love all his work with Japan and favor his solo album, "Titles." My mom loved the song "Sensitive" and when I was young and still lived with her, she often made me play that song for her. She died over a month ago. In the fall I'm going to get a tattoo reading "Titles" in her honor; it will be something that was personal to my mom and myself. And will honor Mick Karn too. 🙏❤

Ma la torta in faccia...perche' 😮???

1980 is still to early. This is well ahead of it's time. That year was still stuck in the disco and punk era

This is a rare find.Typical Japanese show with the beautiful foreigners standing around for a lomg time or being ask banal national insecurity confirming questions like "Do you like Japanese girls?" Brave of Steve to say he didnt like Japanese food;many a gaijin has been cancelled for less!

……(゜Д゜)⁉️ 日本人どこ⁉️ この時代の番組が録画されてる事に驚き(((゜Д゜；)))です❣️ ありがとうございます🙇‍♀️ JAPAN 大好き♥️(*'▽'*)♪

Era la rutina de la entrevistadora tirar la crema de huevos a los invitados??

its times like these i really wish i understood japanese LOL

What a lovely video almost 43years ago, I’ve never seen !! (私は日本人です)

A Giant amongst Bass players ,as good as the late Chris Squire,of Yes.His style of bass playing was unique,and I wish I could just get that "sound "he had on the bass,And another great band this country missed out on,for bubble-gum muzak.

They can hear the girls screaming in the background... Can't blame them. Dave, Mick, and Steve were ridiculously bishie. Even on low quality film it's obvious.

aw david looks so happy here <3 he seemed to be in such high spirits before the band blew up, then he got serious.

Sylvian deserves a few pies thrown in his face.

What a strange show. You can tell he doesn't really want to be there.

Thanks for the post.

Boys .... so Bowie .. even the finger movements.

How did the Japanese market respond when they started making Chinese Music?

Thank you for your web site!👍

This track just changed me as a young kid/teen, it opened up that inner spiritual, albeit not Holy, connection to a Higher power than our elders, it's still making me go cold now, the hairs on my back,,, wow..... 🙏

Great footage Paul 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

All so sweet and shy..

The TIsWas Interview was much more professional!

Sally is much more professional than most new tossers!

I agree @paulrymer, I'd have cringed even way back, I'd not be surprised if this was not a bit of a "go against DS, his personal life with a certain lady that for a while caused tension between them, plus, it went against DS dominence. But I was very surprised to see this,

I love❤ them！　Thank you very much for uploading.

Japanは最高😃⤴️⤴️です🤩　イギリスのバンド曲もメンバーのﾃﾞｳﾞｨｯﾄﾞ･ｼﾙﾋﾞｱﾝ、drummer　スティーブ･ジャンセンはステキだったわ💖🎵

A total gentleman was Mick! Could you imagine Sylvian doing this no way! Thanx Mick for being you ❤
