Steve Jansen Interview 1983 480p Quality
originally transmitted 3.10.83. Steve Jansen interview about future projects.
love Steve in this, don't think any of the Japan guys liked doing press. in this the interviewer acts like it's a job interview, he's the same in the David Sylvian and Mick Karn interviews too..

originally transmitted 22.10.82. my favourite rhythm section making it look all so easy, Masami Tsuchiya's guitar work harking back to their glam rock roots. What an abrupt yet sombre ending, the way they stand - it's like someone just flicked the off switch...

Japan Swing and My New Career - 480p Quality
Просмотров 593 тыс.13 лет назад
originally transmitted 21.12.80, this is probably my favourite Japan clip. in future I'm doing all my dancing with one hand in my pocket :-)
Never seen before or after. An uncomfortable David Sylvian performing the single best single of all time. A historical moment in popular culture history.
Japan was a band so far ahead of everybody else, 40 years later the world still tries to keep up with them, in vain
I was lucky enough to see them live at Birmingham Odeon, they really were brilliant live.
Fire that woman 🤣
Is it just me or were Japan really channeling King Crimson?
Perhaps the best song to ever reach the top 5 in the charts. I love David Sylvian.
Are you watching Kevin Redford ?????
Hail Karn!
Who's here for Richard Barbieri?
1:21 Is that where the taking islands in Africa came from then? I liked that piece with Mr. Sakamoto.
Japan where way ahead of there time
Stood the test of time got all there albums seriously underrated and music talent totally original band
This is the kind of bass playing that makes aspiring bass players throw their shit in the trash can and pick another instrument. RIP Karn
2024 anyone🎉
I've recently taken up playing bass (having previously played guitar). Whilst there's a lot that is shared between the two, the techniques for 'proper' bass playing are something of a steep learning curve! Watching Japan's bass player, i have a new level of respect for artists who can do what he does!
Love it when the mix has Mick's bass up front. I'm guessing he may have made it a point by the time they recorded this.
Sometimes sounds like Simon Le Bon...
💀💀💀
Tooooo creepy.
I could easily see Pina Bausch's company using Mick's music. Maybe they already have?
And kudos to Mick for not taking the opportunity to badmouth Sylvian, who definitely deserved it, and kept it focused on creativity. Very rare.
In what why did DS deserve it ?
Listening to this takes me right back to being at Uni. Walking back to student accommodation late at night with this on my Walkman. How the hell can this be 40 years ago???
thanks Mark Fischer for introducing me to David Sylvian
Such a shame they spent so much time making unlistenable experimental crap, they had potential but blew it.
I'm a new fan, having just discovered "Gentlemen..." two years ago. So even with many suggestions that Japan took directly from Roxy Music and Bowie's "Berlin" era... look how important they became to the development of the New Romantic style... Duran Duran of course, but also Gary Numan, Soft Cell, Eurythmics, I would even call The Cure around the era of Pornography/Japanese whispers. And the bass style in Paul Young's songs... I knew all this above well, but after listening to "Oil on Canvas" I realized who did it first. Japan
Sounds fresher and newer than all of the todays crap.
But! Is David Beckham really his son of pioneers?
The bridge from Bowie/Roxy to the 80’s ….
My favourite band from the 80's. There were other bands/artists that were weird and wonderful as well. Kraftwerk, Kate Bush, Gary Numan, Ippu Do. Good times.
He should be playing some live gigs. I don’t mean a six month residency in Vegas but maybe some festivals here and there. Sort it out Dave.
And David fucked him over
there was always something deeply and wonderfully haunting about this song. love it
And thinking that the teenagers went nuts for the Duran Duran...when David Sylvian Japan was really on another level.
Im burning! BURNING!
Mick was superhuman to me..... oh boy, so sad.
The first rap kind of worked out OK but second one lost its way. But Mick sounded great, A very brave performance by both of them. Angie being a bit more rhythmic would have fixed things up
Good song, but doesn't sound like a typical single. Surprised it did so well. It's always a nice surprise when the general public picks up on a quality song or album that's outside the mainstream box.
my bubu dont like the lady
Angie tends to be attracted to men without eyebrows
the sparse instrumental work where you will not find a single note too much always strucks me
That "Fretless Bass" what a sound
Miming not live
Hope you like my short remix meant to do the full verison l out out because that does justice to japan
Love this song, bloody love it. Although it terrified me as a child. Played it to both my kids (15 and 9) and they don't find it remotely scary 😂
I met him once San Francisco early 90s very nice man.
A perfect example as the sum of the parts being greater than the whole.
I could never hurt anyone. Least of all you. I still tear up 43 years later
i remember meeting Mick Karn and Richard Barberri and Steve Jansen in 1991 they great friendly guys
Rob Dean seems absolutely bored to death ... I see now why he left the band.
Cooler than cool.
