JAPAN - Final Concert - Rock TV Show - Japan. December 1982

[@guttersnippeesmithers3905]

Awesome band still listen to them today

[@tialla8745]

小学6年生から大ファンで、親の許しを得てやっと前から6列目を取り初コンサートに行けたのに、今日はJAPANの最後のコンサートです。」のデヴィッドの言葉に悲鳴しました。

[@naoki69layla03]

おお！これを生で観たんですね、凄い。今と違って情報がなく、当時本当にこれで解散するとは思わなかった。人気絶頂なのに。

[@tialla8745]

@@naoki69layla03 そう😭人気絶好調でした😓 デヴィッドの解散宣言が日本語だったのですが、 聞き取れなかった方々がイエーィとか言ってたのを覚えてます😅

82年12月8日か9日に中野サンプラザで観ました。その日は学校ズル休みしたような気がします。😅

Mick Walk´s wow!

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

Would have been great if Japan went up until at least 1984. I think David Sylvian played a big part in what happened with the band.

[@stevecarter2876]

The manager was playing on insecurities, telling them to go solo

[@maezan3313]

Especially with Mick's girlfriend...

[@rachelar]

Yes, he was the singer and leader so of course

[@derekwallin6322]

Awesome footage. Thank you

[@aidanbrennan6587]

You are 100% correct.I love Japan because they were different from everybody else.such unique band.😄

[@johnorjefftroutman3996]

Somewhere on YT is a video of the full performance of "Life in Tokyo". Not the greatest quality but well worth checking out. Shame the entire show doesn't seem to be available.

[@gomes6422]

Uma grande raridade!

[@janeyholness2681]

As the TV talked all over the performance, I'd love to know what they were saying! But a marvellous glimpse into the past nonetheless

[@mattma96]

Honestly, the voice-over IS SO DARN ANNOYING!!!

[@swith627]

早朝、整理券ＧＥＴして、まさしく２Ｆの立ち見で見てました（涙）

[@taniacross4755]

This is great!!

[@BarbieChaite]

MICK KARN !!!

[@jeromealexandre4162]

All Japanese music tv shows seem to just talk endlessly over artists wether they’re in an interview situation or in concert .

[@philipford6183]

Fairly obvious Sylvian had had just about enough of Japan and the live touring antics by this point. 'Brilliant Trees' - a total reinvention of his career and creative direction - was on the way.

[@mattma96]

I stopped listening to D.S. after Brilliant Trees.

[@blinksstayfresh2524]

What made you think that? Lol

A truly great band....but maybe not David Sylvian’s finest rig out.... bacofoil boy .

New Wave Prog Rock is a thing !

[@uv77mc85]

king crimson Belew period?

[@krisscanlon4051]

Yeah definitely...they heralded that sound in 81 and really it's almost any artist of that era could be labeled proggy new wave...Bowie Siouxsie Magazine Pere Ubu Devo etc etc

[@ajs41]

I wonder if the full concert is available anywhere on video?

[@moxellex]

Japan/Virgin Records released a dbl LP (also CD later) & video tape Oil on Canvas, basically the whole concert, but recordings/footage from several different venues, from that last tour .
