David Sylvian was imitating Marc Bolan with Gibson Les Paul Sunburst at that time. Thanks for keeping the great artist history.

[@jeffandersen7397]

and then Steve Clark of Def Leppard modeled his look off of early David, down to the length of the guitar strap

[@alisoncarpenter232]

Japan were blessed with a truely great bass player.

[@mjh5437]

They were all great,it was a unique team.

[@dear-Tommy]

貴重な動画ありがとうございます‼︎ David のこの赤い服かっこいいんですよねぇ。JAPAN は楽曲はもちろん、パフォーマンスもかっこいい！　しかしまぁ、特にこの時代の日本の女の子たちは嗅覚が鋭いわな(笑)

[@chuckiechen4530]

Mick Karn's bass techniques are outstanding!

[@brendanrogersisafatchristo4126]

just wonder at the majesty of his hair!

[@duncandistortion]

they did a great job of re inventing themselves,and becoming unique.

[@NotAFanAnymore]

Steves drums as usual a class act.

[@millicent275]

guitarist is my great uncle, nice to hear that :)

[@batteryacid1]

Millicent You're talking about Rob Dean?

[@happynewfears1805]

I was 7 when this song came out. I wish I could have seen at least one of Sylvian's concerts live, back then, but I know my dad would've never let me :/

[@jetboy8404]

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I love all the different phases of Japan but maybe "The Lewisham Dolls" is my favourite.

[@lunahlulah6772]

"Lewisham Dolls", that's brilliant haha

[@mjh5437]

Was Lewisham Dolls an actual band name or record?

[@garandoxx]

よく録ってくれました！感謝します！ 中学生の時に大ファンでTVにかじりついて見た映像です

[@lanakorvin570]

CAN'T BEAT WHAT I GREW UP WITH, STILL RAW, STILL DEEP !!!! LOVE SYLVIAN AND THE BAND, DURAN DURAN, ALL SO UNIQUE AND INNOVATIVE !

[@mjh5437]

Agree. I love both,they shouldn`t be mutually exclusive.

[@briancox8518]

Best period of Japan after Rob Dean left they were never the same

[@mjh5437]

After they went "New Romantic" and a bit snobby they were never as good again.

[@Muku-s1w]

@@mjh5437 They are not New Romantics.

[@patriciakensitte5249]

[@cadacasatieneuno3046]

[@tonysharples6233]

I bet Bowie was Sylvian's biggest influence.

[@mjh5437]

And David Johansen of the New York Dolls and The Sweet

[@rachelar]

The original "European Son" 🎼

[@moco599]

懐かしすぎる(´；ω；`)ﾌﾞﾜｯ

[@ParuPiko]

Quality of music is tremendously high, though the audiences sadly lower their performance.

[@halenbud]

New romantic! Before Duran Duran

[@Muku-s1w]

I don't want them to be lumped in with the likes of Duran Duran!

[@branzantis]

Old standard... Better Spandau ballet ... Sylvian out of the group Is MAGIC 🌈

[@dylanakent]

The real deal.

[@RosePetal17]

Surprisingly "poppy" ;D

[@EduardoRodrigues-ce4dh]

They sound a little bit like Muse

[@mjh5437]

Muse sound a little bit like Japan....but not as good!

[@ianheath4332]

What happened to rob dean ???

[@0097bobchan]

ロブは脱退して、確か「ゲイシャ」て名のオーストラリアのバンドに加入して活動してたけど、今は音楽業界を引退したそうです。

[@ianheath4332]

Translate

[@Muku-s1w]

Rob is now a bird naturalist? and he has published a book on the subject. The illustrations are also by him.

[@GuyGreggo]

Great stuff, Dave's nose looks like its suffering a little coke damage?

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

I love most of their music, but this…. not so much.
