OMG. This song was my introduction to them and honestly, between Mick's fretless bass -- which I didn't even realize was a bass making those amazing sounds back in the day -- along with Mick's horn playing and Steve Jansen's drums ... day-um! This is why I bought the album as a pre-teen and have listened to it for around 40 years now. Still love it and it still thrills me. I'm honestly sad they didn't get into the video aspect, especially as creative as they were, particularly Karn and Jansen. This is the only "video" they really did that wasn't just them playing. I get why they wouldn't have been into it at the time, but with their sound and look, they could have done amazing things.

I couldn't get enough of Japan and thought David Sylvian was just the most beautiful man on the planet. I dressed like him and had my hair like him too. As a twenty something female I did get some looks but I did not care one bit. Where has the time gone. Makes me feel a bit sad really, particularly when I think about what's on offer musically now.

in broken images I think some people get that idea because he says the N-Word in the song Rhodesia? I find that to be a bit ridiculous because if you look at the lyrics, the context the word was said in clearly had the opposite of racist intent. Plenty of punk bands with white singers like The Dead Kennedys, Christian Death, Dicks, and Crass have used the uh “meme word”... context is important(in none of these examples is anyone being 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 a slur There’s an argument to be had about if it’s responsible for whites to use the term in art but that is not the same as saying “everyone who ever says the no-no word is a racist”, because that just simply isn’t true.... I might just be an idiot here and am unaware of something that would indicate him as being “So Racist” but to my knowledge there’s no indication that David is racist.

I was listening to the album today and having lived in the US, they were never radio play for me. However, I have since learned that Ghosts was their bigger radio hit in the UK and all I can think of is how did that, of all song, become a hit without Mick Karn's incredible bass?! Of all songs! Sons of Pioneers is one of my all-time favorites from that album, in part because of the brilliant bass. I would have expected that more. ;)

I recall Nick Rhodes&Duran Duran played this on MTV in about 1983..there certainly were similarities between the two bands in terms of image, but there the similarity ends...musically they were quite different except for one or two tracks early in Duran's career that might have been influenced by Japan i.e Planet Earth to Quiet Life, Tiger Tiger to A Foreign Place.. But while one band went on to international stardom as pioneers of the video age; the other turned its back on fame..the fact they went took completely different paths proves how different they really were from each other musically speaking

A big shame they could not work together anymore. So many misunderstandings, and they all have had strong characters. David never wanted to be a pop star, of course he always knew he will be successful, but not in that way. It's visible on his solo albums. I bet that lots of what Mick and Steve told about David, about his behaviour in the band and his attitude towards them, was true... He was an artist and wanted everything to be super perfect. I'm perfectionist by myself and I know how hard is to cope with this type of person. It's so sad that Mick died and they probably never has spoke about what happened and they didn't clear the atmosphere after all of that. At least Steve befriended with Mick till the end of his life. Sad sad sad...

Sylvian was an asshole. Mick Karn’s autobiography details what a jerk that guy was. Sylvian basically pocketed all of the band’s earnings. He treated Mick like crap, but Mick stuck around because the Japan was loved and he didn’t want to disappoint fans who were loyal to them. Sylvian didn’t like the popularity but wanted to be the center of the band. You can’t have it both ways. Japan was an excellent band but the personal dynamics were really toxic.

cfny - spirit of radio 1979-86 ... nothing like it ... thanks goodness for Dave Marsden who had the balls to play a new brand of music ... thanks to him we were introduced to bands way ahead of their time ... Japan, Cabaret Voltaire, New Order, Fashion, Simple Minds, TFF, etc ... what memories!

Japan drank deeply of Bowie's (and to a lesser extent Roxy Music's) influence along with Georgio Moroder and then added something uniquely their own.. One look at Sylvian's hair on tracks like Quiet Life should convince you of the Bowie link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqmxlWyBn8mFja8

The beauty of Bowie and the melancholy of The Cure, Japan is fresh and bold in the romantic new wave genre. Yes the drum break I live for!! Very 'Trouble Funk' style. Bought a UK Ronco LP called "hits hits hits " and discovered this song there. 🎵
