[mamiejohnson1]

Very very impressive channel!

[janlastnamedantuono]

fireeworrrrrrkksss!

[AWfan52525]

I love the kind of background sound in this track that you can also find in Pure Jam on Technodelic, always wondered how they made that sound. The rhythm on this track is awesome too, though the one in Bamboo Houses is even better!

[Muddyrich]

Steve Jansen on typewriter

[waheex]

oh and Sakamoto. All of them:)

[waheex]

IMO the reason Japan were so good is well

The prophet 5 synth, Sylvian and bass by Mick

[spillandambience]

AWESOME god i faint in amazement, new sound is lost, keep it oldschool xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[totallyboobular]

Is that Masami Tsuchiya at 1:13?

[bemyart90]

No it isn't.

[moodyb]

It's Sakamoto

[TheMrDik]

Wow this song is great! I remember when my dad told me about when he bought the import of this record in 1982

[sjlp1]

I remember stealing that single in the early eighties -and I m not proud of that! -But it was an expensive import record and I could not afford it.

The main reason was that I was such a big fan of

Japan and David Sylvian at that time! Plus both sides are absolutely stunning. "Bamboo music" and "Bamboo houses" are great songs.

[Tiramisator]

Time ahead , at least 50 years...

[bobos01]

great call!!!!!!! still aheah of us!

[vinccipun]

who's the guy playing with his typewriter?

[mashamorgan]

Isnt it Steve Jansen, David's brother?

[moodyb]

Yes, it sure is

[mashamorgan]

My mate Chris loved this song so much, I found him dead on his couch last year aged 43. Sylvian brought him so much happiness in his short life !!!

[spillandambience]

man im sosorry, the music ye both love willkeep ye close

[laurasworldnet]

Oh, and also had to add... DS looks too cute in lipstick :)

LOVE him!!!

[laurasworldnet]

Does anyone know how or where I can download this version of this song? The only thing I can find is the sylvian remix, which sounds nothing like it .

[n0wave]

0:44 - I always loved that part of the song

[PippinPogle]

I used to decorate my room when I was fourteen with Sylvian posters and the album cover for this 12". Sylvian is such quality.

Ryuichi e David grandi

[orangestoneface]

in this video he has a woman with lipstick singing his music,or moving the lips pretending to sing, so sexy, makes me want to kiss those lips.

[moodyb]

Those would be David's lips you're wanting to kiss...

;-)

[orangestoneface]

I did not write that , i think there was a burglar here using my pc

[OrkelTree]

Funny comeback, orangestoneface! LMAO. I can't blame you, David looks like Princess Diana in this PV.

[waheex]

totally prophet 5

[JIM2u007]

Love this song. The melodics and instrumentation combine to make Bamboo so intoxicating. This video really captures 80's fashion essence.

[HerrBitter]

I wish that this and bamboo Houses would come out on CD

[Mhaza]

Great song thanks !

[xposed23]

That is so 80's. And cool

[3dcandy]

Certainly is, I have the cd single...

Nice to see 2 of Dave Smith's finest instrument in the same video!

[Tazz77]

Great song. I still have the 12inch single...:-). On the b-side there's the song Bamboo Houses.

[BakaNewMexican]

Pretty cool stuff. It's a continuation of Tin Drum, yet in some ways it's even better than Tin Drum IMHO. I wish they had mined this territory for more gold such as this.

[Djangokill1]

Definately..similar to the Visions of China video which I think is the best video they did..Japan broke up just as the video age was dawning..in many ways Duran Duran cashed in on the Japan image and successfully pioneered video in this era..inventive pop music at its best.
