Thank you so much for this! Just learned to play the song and recorded myself. I wanna play this live soon! Thanks again, man!

[neugestalt]

Guitar too! Thank you, Mick!!!!!! Great job

Singing and playing at the same time, too - I have a theory that only aliens can do that... It's how you recognise the infiltrators. lol ((^_>^)

I remember very many years ago trying to memorise the chords as he played this on Riverside at the time.... but I have a memory like a sieve and it was all gone before long..

All the best

[WhackoMacko]

one of my favourite japan songs .. and you own it .. nice one mate

[rippleway123]

Superb!!

[mindhead2005]

very kind, thank you.

[drsyn67]

WOW! That is fantastic! You nailed the subtle nature of the vocals and played that beautifully. I hope you will do more. Very nice to see someone playing a Yamaha acoustic - what model is it? I am crazy about mine and think it sounds and plays as good as anything else out there... and you provided more power to that argument. Thanks again!

[mindhead2005]

Thank you very much.

The Yam is an LL16. I've had martins and takamines and you name it! They're all gone now, but the ones that stay are my yamahas - an Ll16, an LS400, an APX4-12A, an FGX413Sc, a Pacifica 612V and a pacifica 302 12 string.

VERY NICE COVER! I think any cover that can take some of the Japan stuff and take them to the level of 'Secrets Of The Beehive' deserves some real praise - Loved it! - Justin@PLM

[mindhead2005]

Thanks Justin.

That means a lot to me.

Thanks Kingscoop.

It remains my favourite Japan song from my favourite japan album

I'll email you the chords.

[kingscoop]

A very nice version of this quite frankly WONDERFUL Japan tune. Sylvian is God. I'm sure you must've seen his acoustic version. my playing is awful but would love to know the chords to this. you play this brilliantly. I'm going to listen to your version again now. well done again and thanks for posting
