Sylvian is the absolute epitome of cool here. Much better stage presence than Oil On Canvas where if i recall he hardly moves an inch.

Japans first two albums are under rated. Great vid but bad hair.

@shinysynthcity liked your comment better that the one who rubbished you .. [best bit of the clip!] ..they are probably killing themselves laughing cause it's all mime work .. & Mick does look over at Rob, hey? ..good observation!

Why the FUCK did he stop singing like this, I'll never know.

I always go around town playing this. And 'Transmission'.

@shinysynthcity I think you've entirely imagined the whole thing. It's amazing what people sometimes think they've seen. I hope no poor bastard defendant is ever dependent on your observational talents as a witness in a serious criminal case!

@weegordon48 The only reason the Sons of pioneers tour took place at all, was so that Karn, Jansen & Barbieri could make some decent money prior 2 the band splitting, so it was most definitely a farewell tour. Btw, those 3 were never paid anywhere near what they'd originally been promised. According 2 Karn & I'm inclined 2 believe him, the only band member 2 make any real money from Japan was Sylvian, & the most money the other 3 ever earnt from Japan came from sales of the Oil on canvas video.

I always thought Japan were a four piece. Who's the fifth member?

That would be Rob Dean on guitar
moodyb 4 years ago
Cheers, thanx. Did Rob Dean leave the band? If so, do you know when, and did David Sylvian take over on guitar? I have this album plus "Exorcising Ghosts" and "Oil on Canvas"....only four are credited on "ghosts" and guitar is done by Masami Tsuchiya on "oil". (p.s. did u know David and Steve are brothers, real last name is Batt?)
turnbs 4 years ago
Rob left the band just before they recorded "The Art of Parties" single.
Masami was a Guest artist for the "Sons of Pioneers" farewell tour, hence the credit on "Oil".
Yes indeed, Mick also changed his last name...
