Lyrics:
Winter's cityside, crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions that I'd ever find a glimpse of
Summer's heatwave in your eyes
You did what you did to me, now, it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan
Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo? Or should I go
And change my point of view for other ugly scenes?
You did what you did to me, now, it's history I see
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan

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

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.

This song is about a heroin-addicted couple at Berlin Zoo-Station dreaming about what life could be - far far away - without their addicition. Thats actually what "Big in Japan" originally meant (its the name of a british band): When you are a loser or an outcast you might be able to have a good life in a place far away.

I dunno why but I love this version of the song better than any other version. I just love how it sounds a little bit deeper and slower, it's amazing

[@Crytoma]

Because it has been slowed down a bit

[@AgentDanielCross]

Ghoulin_ Its actually the original. What you talking about is the album version.

[@rkabanlit]

I agree, I like this slower version better ...

[@KingKamidereSama]

Ane Brun tho.... nothing beats her version

[@cletustheslob5237]

daniel cross was the original slowed down tho? I dont know if its because ive heard the other version so much, but this one just seems like hes singing so slower and im not sure if he sang it this slow or they slowed the track down?

I don't know how this band come to the idea of this song. 👏👏👏 I lived and studied in the city where this band comes from...the small, beautiful and clean city of Münster.💚 Six years in Münster and Münster is my home town in Germany. Up to this day 10.06.2023, I am still playing this song loud and in a row in my Studio. The sound is so great and timeless, it makes you just wanna dance. The voice from Marian is crystal clear and energetic. I mastered the lyrics and any day I am in Japan. I will go to a park full of people, stand in the middle and will sing this song acapella as loud as possible. I will be 'Big In Japan'😎
