Japan - Life In Tokyo (Extended Disco Mix)

[MrEnomot32]

it seems so artificial, why should I care..

[brigham600]

My fav all time Japan track, it is pure magic!

[internetultrageek]

f**k! Somehow I missed the news that Mick Karn had passed away. Delayed sadness... I so loved 'Japan' -- one of the very few bands for whom I hunted down as many (original edition) CDs as I could find in Toronto. (Sadly, someone I knew absconded with most of my collection.)

[silverglobe]

what a great song!!

[mravka9]

Epic beyond belief.

Japan forever!

[MrVETVALTER]

Karn (RIP), great bass player

Sylvian, master songwriter

Moroder, genius...

[MrVETVALTER]

Or Rob Dean?

[MrVETVALTER]

@TotallyRandomStudio: Barbieri? Jansen?

[j3suslov3sutub3]

Goldfrapp! that would be awesome.

[adalaku]

Mick Karn could work with anyone.

[universalself]

another brilliant mix by moroder

[taffydavenport1965]

Giorgio Moroder is a genius.

[bondbug73]

Total power!!

[adalaku]

I really love this band but I must say that Dave Sylvian looks a bit like the Joker in this video. Still, he is a brilliant musician and performer.

[thegerrie19561]

Keep on loving the sound of Japan! Mick on bass and saxophone. David is very good. All the other guys as well. Sorry Mick died!

[KalahariKAri]

These guys look better in make-up than most women. Let 'em rock it, I say. The bass player now...hmmmm....yeah, nice. :-) They get a lot of sound out of that tiny drum set too.

[Roybraham]

Timeless genius - takes me back to my schooldays. RIP Mick Karn. Thumbs up if you second that emotion!

[brigham600]

Great band, great music and women just love David Sylvian

[KMRH1969]

RIP MICK!



[leighannm]

[shinysynthcity]

[centellas07]

¡ESTÁ BUENÍSIMA ESTA CANCIÓN!!!!!!!

[positivity70]

Awesome. Thanks uploader. One of my fav japan tracks. Mick R.I.P

[CandyflossAngel]

R I P MICK .

[punkz64]

some ones just told me mick kan as died ?

[zerozander]

@punkz64 It is sadly true. Mick had been ill with cancer for some months, now he's gone. So sad. :(

[MrLayford65]

David was a Debbie Harry wannabe well so the NME said...

He doesn't sound like her though.

[headofapollo]

@MrLayford65 more bowie & ferry wannabees-as was any of the new romantic brigade!

[kenswe]

Rest in Peace Mick, you were the best.

[villaninireland]

RIP Mick Karn x

[littlegoatboy]

RIP Mick Karn : (

[koen123dend]

That's what I call a great intro !

Fantastic sound - top production.



[newfuckingwave]

david spent the entire budget the band had for their attire to be worn on the 'quiet life' album' on that red jacket. true shit

[deeder2000]

Try to hear the bass through this - it is unbelievable - I have never heard anything like it! During the sax solo you can hear it a little better. The guy should have done a solo on his bass as well as doing a solo on the sax!

[shinysynthcity]

Everything Moroder touches turns to gold! :)

[cheefy100]

Saw them live,twice..Awesome..Still got all the work on vinyl.

[crackedcraig]

I used to have the red vinyl 12" of this great track...

[deeder2000]

Moroder was the king of this synth disco sound. A fantastic job on this classic! Great edit job to lengthen the track!

[ThePhreekyg]

What ever happened to these guys,

where is mick karn (bass) today?

great band I remember thinking as a kid,

if I like these guys,does that make me a fag?

I knew a lot of punks and mods,not too many

new romantics in Dundalk

[murraydeschot]

@ThePhreekyg

Heard recently that Mick was in advance stages of cancer ...

[adeleellie6]

@ThePhreekyg And what would be wrong with being a "fag" as you so charmingly put it? I think it takes a little more than watching a video on youtube to make you so inclined...

[Homoholic]

@ThePhreekyg

yes!!! Listening to Japan does definitely make a you a fag! In fact it makes you a real flamer! You gotta listen to death metal or hiphop to be a "real man"

Sigh! Some people are stupid beyond belief!

[gogolito]

***** 5 stars

[themachman19691]

brilliant!this is my fave version of this song.still sounds great.the women singing @4.43 is just superb!

[TotalyRandomStudio]
