Making of "Big In Japan" Part 1

[@matt_one]

The whole album is a synthpop masterpiece!

[@analiadelfini7122]

Quisiera estar en tu imaginación, cómo salen esos hermosos temas ya cumplí 64 años y sigo bailando los 🎉🎊🎆💕

[@markusbbb9627]

Absolutely true I❤80s

[@matt_one]

@@markusbbb9627 Just one example from that album, the song "Fallen Angel" and Marian's vocals on the chorus

[@matthewamato625]

Couldn’t agree more

[@birgittcohrs7517]

Ich schließe mich an,als Deutsche.Alphaville ist Beste Band unseres Landes,meiner Meinung nach❤❤❤Wundervoll👏👏👏

[@vessto]

The most gorgeous man ever singing this electro pop masterpiece with his equally gorgeous voice.

[@exetoxopat8046]

It’s difficult for me to describe the feelings I experience while listening to this song. It evokes various emotions in me, and despite listening to it for a long time, it never gets boring. I rarely write comments because I'm not great at expressing my feelings and thoughts, but on the birthday of this beautiful song, I wanted to thank you for such beauty and the wonderful emotions you've given and continue to give us! Thank you✨ P.s. sorry for my English)

[@illustriousrocket4476]

I get what you're saying. It can sound either very bleak or upbeat and optimistic depending upon the way it's mixed, the mood you're in while you listen to it, and so on. Marian's vocals and the hypnotic quality of the beat play off that dynamic perfectly, which all adds up to an ideal piece of music. It's simple but quite ingenious at the same time, and that's why it holds up even 40 years later.

[@exetoxopat8046]

@@illustriousrocket4476 Yes, you perfectly described everything I wanted to say! I'm very grateful to you. 💖

[@74goldenjet]

Electronic music doesn't get any better than this. All the tracks you made back then are just stunning, productionwise, arrangements, vocal performances, the whole package. There is no other album I've been listening to more than your debut, for 40 years, and I still love it! How is it even possible? Maybe because there are so many layers, hidden sounds/gems? Thank you Alphaville ♥

[@Nicoco7249]

Totally agree

[@Nicoco7249]

It exists a few number of songs that you never forget once you've heard it. Big in Japan is one of them.

[@dorinamihalache6671]

The tune will make you dance 🔊🎶💥🎶💥, no matter what!!! Timeless masterpiece💎 of genius band, Alphaville 💖🌟....

[@Flat8G]

This is pure gold for someone who regards the first Aphaville album as the best album ever produced! ❤

[@DiamondHobbit]

I ❤ this song! Lyrics are compelling, vocal melodies are engaging and the music embodies the sentiment it’s all about. Classic epic song ✨🌟✨

[@alimorrison8731]

Check Ane Brun’s cover 👌

[@thaliameow]

I'm obsessed with this work of art, first song I never get tired of, imagine the impact of this in that time

[@necronom]

I love this song. I was listening to it in the car about an hour ago and it was still in my head when I saw this video pop up as a recommendation.

[@alnash1227]

🤔Creating a song is painstaking,almost jewelry work,testing out many options,crossing different opinions and points of view... And we have all known the fantastic result for a long time! 💥💎💥 This is a really interesting story!💓 Thank you for the new details from first-hand experience!🙏

[@dorinamihalache6671]

👍😊✨🌺✨🎶🎶🎶

[@AngusArtEntertainment]

Still a great song, album, and band from them to now... and beyond.

[@SchLaurie97]

Liebe Leute von Alphaville, als noch relativ junger Fan und jemand, der hier sonst nie etwas kommentiert, möchte ich euch an dieser Stelle einfach mal ein dickes ✨Dankeschön✨ für eure Musik schreiben! "Big in Japan" war vor ein paar Jahren das erste Lied überhaupt, das mich so richtig gepackt und nicht mehr losgelassen hat und ist immer eines meiner Lieblingslieder geblieben. Nachdem zuerst das ganze Forever-Young-Album und kurz darauf sukzessive auch alle anderen in mein CD-Regal eingezogen sind, wart ihr und seid ihr auch heute selbstverständlich auf Platz 1 meiner Lieblingsbands und ich durfte euch schon einige Male aus der ersten Reihe live erleben - absolute Konzert-Highlights für mich! Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Jahrestag eures ersten großen Meisterstücks - macht bitte noch lange, lange weiter so. Ihr seid klasse und ich bin auf jeden Fall gespannt auf alles, was da noch kommen wird. 🍀

[@cleusabarboza1087]

Essa música só escutando os primeiros toques, já se sabe que é Big in Japan!

[@martadankking1240]

Parabéns Alphaville pelos 40 anos de Big in Japan uma obra prima feita por jovens gênios ! Obrigada por tornar nossa vida melhor com obras lindas como essa! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@tugraidikut7950]

[@andreasill8153]

😉👍🧡🌸😊👏👏👏 Alphaville ist für mich die beste deutsche Band aus den 80 zigern. und bis heute.❤

[@VjAdrasaVideos]

still one of the greatest songs of all time

[@rina_230q]

This song is a masterpiece. Out of time❤

[@felipegomesnunes6103]

Big in Japan is perfect music. I love.

[@Ula-r9d]

Ten artysta ma w sobie coś czego nie można wytłumaczyć po prostu daje tyle ciepła i nauki dla młodego pokolenia❤❤❤

[@catherinebeduer3838]

Wow... Nostalgia... A Masterpiece !! 📀💪 Congratulations. I love you, Alphaville ❤️❤️

[@IshakuIbrahimTure-on9zv]

Love the song. Big in Japan.

[@dirceub.r5907]

Cara, que vídeo legal, poxa, muito bom saber como este clipe do Alphaville foi feito, uma obra prima dos anos 80's. Nós brasileiros, piramos neste embalo. Que nostalgia.

[@romanazbukin8687]

During my school years, I bought the CD "The Singles Collection" and enjoyed the different variations of "Big In Japan" on it. Thank you for posting this video. Cпасибо!✋

[@godsrealname]

One of my favorite tracks of all time! Being listening to it since i was a kid, also i always loved the video clip

[@SuperTuturutka]

This song is my ringtone❤. It says it all.

[@joseericoferreirabelem7886]

Fantástico. O engenheiro de som é um diferencial.

[@diaboliquin]

Siempre es un gusto conocer los detalles de la música que me gusta, pero tratándose de Alphaville, es doble placer conocer la historia de canciones emblemáticas como "Big in Japan". Espero con ansias la segunda parte. Greetings from Mexico City!

[@jamesmccarthy7228]

I remember well constantly asking the d.j. in our local disco to play this, when it was first released. Ya, disco I know, hard to believe it was all those many years ago. Cracking tune then. Still is today. Long live the Alphaville story !!!

[@Nicoco7249]

This song is simply a part of my life. Alphaville forever ❤

[@NatureTechnique]

Les secrets et la complicité pour ce tube interplanétaire et les ingrédients réels resteront secrets pour toujours 🥰

[@Ula-r9d]

Super hit na zawsze❤

[@DaniStenko]

I love sleaze metal, synth, rnb, ambient, goth rock... (think A-ha, WASP, Francesco Yates) and this one has aspects of all of these - sort of like the best of *all* worlds. It's the second song I learnt to sing in English and in my heart it's the first. Thanks Alphaville for making my teenage years (in 2000s lol) bearable, you are the best band. Greetings from Poland!

[@Mscd-47]

Amazing sound, perfect.

[@NatureTechnique]

Prends soin de toi Marian comme tu as pris soin de nous dans les paroles magnifiques plein d'espoir et de positivité et surtout une mélodie entraînante la mélodie de la vie et de l'amour universel !

[@ElenaShapovalova]

Hard to believe that this and the album Forever Young turn 40 this year, which is unbelievable considering that Marian Gold also turns 70 this year.

Masterpiece song and maspterpiece album😍

[@rosangelaalves71]

Quarenta anos fazendo sucesso. E vem muito mais sucesso por aí porque as novas gerações já entenderam que música boa e de qualidade eram as compostas nos anos 1970 , 1980 e 1990.

[@rittelrene3373]

Wow! Super. Macht mal mehr davon👍 Könntet ihr mal ab und zu eine reine Gesangsspur spielen. Ich finde die Stimme von Marian so toll. Also schon mit Effekten, aber sonst komplett ohne den Rest.💪 Ich war grad 14 Jahre alt als das Album kam. Niemand also wirklich Niemand kann sich heute vorstellen was ich unternommen habe um dieses Album in der DDR zu bekommen🤔😁💪☺👍

[@andreasill8153]

Kann mir sehr gut vorstellen, was du alles unternommen hast, um damals die LP in der DDR zubekommen. Ich habe sie damals leider nicht bekommen ,weil mir das sogenannte Vitamin B fehlte. Dafür aber jemand aus meiner damaligen Klasse,obwohl er kein wirklicher Fan von Alphaville war. Aber wenigstens war diese Person so nett u.hat sie mir dann auf Kassette überspielt.😊

[@vessto]

In communist Bulgaria was almost the same. I was 10 when I saw an angel in an illegally imported Bravo magazine. The cutest angel ever, Marian Gold. ❤❤❤❤❤
