This is gorgeous and captures the breezy sweetness of the original.

I have been a Japan Fan Since 78 and they are such a Unique sounding Band . even when they evolved Into the Late 70s 80s band they became no one came close to matching and they remained distinctive . all said over the years I have heard a few poor covers but Hey guys this is the best I have heard . 100% for doing your homework on the Sound .

[@FaithAssemblyMusic]

Thank you for the comment! Agreed, Japan is without a doubt my most influential band ever! Nobody in over 40 years has intrigued me more! And considering the amount of great bands over rock history. It really is saying something!

Never heard of these guys, but boy its really good, thank you so much. Still miss Mick so very much, RIP Mick.

[@nightporter9667]

Started listening to Japan in 1980. Followed Sylvian, Sakamoto, Dolphin Brothers, Dalis Car and endless collaboration that these amazing musicians have influenced. What a journey. RIP Karn and Sakamoto.

fair play guys. This is pretty good. Must have taken a bit of work. Keep going. Very impressed with the bassist.

[@alea9140]

Thanks for covering Japan! I would like to see your live if you are going to play in Japan. Thanks again!

[@FaithAssemblyMusic]

We would love to come Japan!😉

[@alea9140]

@@FaithAssemblyMusic Yes, please! Love your band!!

[@redwolf0119]

ドラムのシンバルの使用が少し多いように思う　ワザとスティーブはドラム、タムのサウンドで高音のリズムを抑えてインパクトを出す傾向がある なんならシンバルは一枚しか入らないハイハットだけあれは良い奏法　タムは様々な大きさでメロディが打てるのではと思う程セットする事もある　ボーカル、ベースの低音にからむバルビエリのミドルキーキーボードサウンドが生えるようにしていると思う

[@rachelar]

Great but ebow needed, please

[@rachelar]

So,no ebow ?

[@LeviJane]

Looking and sounding good. However....serial killers also take polaroids, just sayin. 😉😜 Know who I am yet? If so, must answer cryptically.

[@dickbeater8954]

very cool all round.. vocals are superb.. loving the vocal mix.. everything sounds spot on.. 10/10

[@SKYSAW59]

Just.. WOW
