wish I was there. I love all the incarnations/changes of Japan and Duran Duran over the years. That's why I love YouTube- look at Japan from the 70s and you have a totally different look (T Rex/Roxy pre-new-romantic fashion). Check out early Pseudo Echo- very similar sound yet they're from Austrailia. Instead of hating, I say - the more of this music- the better!
duran duran is not a copy ...they are sufficently different to not be accused of bein' a copy... each of those both bands was surely partially influenced be the other ... but nothing more... and less than some Bowie or Roxy stuff... We don't have to forget that the whole new wave scene has often more or less similarities in style... cure, simple minds, banshees, ultravox, bill nelson early 80s lp's, blondie ,echo & the bun.... etc... etc...
Mick Karn just looked so cool throughout Japan's career and this video shows that - with his lime suit and really original look and don't get me started on his unbelievable bass sounds! RIP.
I always loved this track by Japan. I have to say my fave Japan track is Forbidden Colours though-my least fave Japan tracks is "I Second That Emotion".

I JAPAN was a big influence on DURAN DURAN...you can really tell with the DD song Planet Earth and this one...luv them both.

@mic01 AND David Sylvian's influence on Nick Rhodes...which was always well-documented, so no surprise...just saying...both pure genius

@lemsta007 its ironic as I asked that question the day before Mick Karn passed away. Thanks. So sad though. He was very young as well.
