fun fact: when this came out, the singer Marian Gold was still working as cooks mate in his hometown in Germany. it got a lot of radio airplay and so one of the cooks said: "son, they are playing your song all day long" and fired him. so the singer was fired because his boss didn't want him to waste his career peeling potatoes

[@ThomasJr]

The phrase "Big in Japan" from the 1984 song by the band Alphaville refers to the idea of being famous or successful in a distant or foreign place, especially in Japan, while remaining unknown or struggling elsewhere. In the context of the song, it symbolizes escaping reality and fantasizing about success or a better life in a faraway place. Japan was chosen because, during the 1980s, many Western artists and bands who didn't achieve mainstream success at home were surprisingly popular in Japan. The song itself is more about yearning for a better future and dealing with personal struggles (such as love and addiction), using the notion of being "Big in Japan" as a metaphor for an idealized escape or sense of hope. In Portuguese it's similar to the saying, "Santo de casa não faz milagre", or "Home grown saints don't work miracles".

80s music was amazing

[@KeanCohan]

This was real music these times back then.

[@s14dorikin]

What’s even crazier, and possibly very inspiring/motivating for aspiring musicians, is that none of them knew how to play any instruments; and yet, they still managed to produce such great music. With technology of the times (synthesizers, drum/rhythm machines, etc), they were able to turn the music they had in their heads into reality, without any knowledge of playing instruments…a magical time. Nowadays, it’s even easier…but you still need the talent/creativity to produce magic like this.

[@paultwiss199]

The 80s were the beginning of the tech age but it went to shit after the 80s.

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

Because actual talent made it big because more people voted to spend actual money for the records based on actually liking them than voted for a puerile TV entertainment show because they were sucked in by the hype and fomo? Just guessing, I could only afford to buy one or maybe two singles per week in the 80's, but voting a few pennies while sitting on my ass using my phone appears easier nowadays. I don't bother doing it, never have, but it still has the appeal of being simple and inexpensive. BTW I still have all the records I bought and a record player so i can listen to any of the music I originally thought was worthwhile. About 5% of it gets ignored, the rest gets a listen at least once a year, much more for some great songs! I feel like I got value for what I spent back in the day. Personally I would rather be able to still listen to the media I bought for as long as i like than have a stream removed because some beancounter exec decides it isn't making enough revenue. I grew up being able to do that and simply don't like companies taking away what I paid for because they already got my money and don't care if I get value or not so long as they get their profit.

[@geminislinger]

the era of plastic

[@heroineburgh]

@@marvinsilverman4394 It really was! In high school, I had a synthpop band with some friends. I wrote a song about a New Wave girl called "(She's Living A) Plastic Life" and within a couple years, it had gotten lots of airplay on the the local college radio station. 30 years later, when we started Heroineburgh, I rewrote the lyrics, and it became our theme song, "(She's Living In) Heroineburgh". Every episode of ours is named after a song or artist from the 80s. So, yes, it was quite an inspirational 'era of plastic' (and I would add many more groups to the list, such as Gary Numan, Yaz, Howard Jones, Human League, Cabaret Voltaire and Front 242).

[@Aleja29m]

This song should will be considered one of the best song of the history's new wave, isn't?

This song has been huge in Greece literally ever since it came out. I was 5 or 6. And I've been dancing and singing to it all my life since then. To me it's perfection, it's what music should be like, I can't imagine anyone not liking it.

@@Bubbles-od2tv what’s the title of the song?

[@Bubbles-od2tv]

@@verangium It's a metaphor ... It was a sarcastic saying in the music industry back then, that even if you're not big in your country, you can just say in you're big in Japan, and no one in your country would know.
