@pistachioguy Hey- I LIKE Kajagoogoo- and Never Ending Story was a great song for Limahl.. I just think KGG were more on par with Wham than Japan. JMO- BUT don't forget the US had PLENTY of great acts at that time too: Talking Heads, Devo, Ramones (who started the punk frenzy) Blondie, So I wouldn't say KGG were nearly as prolific as these acts. The UK totally had the best acts around at that time- we all are better off for it. and thank the Germans for Kraftwerk, and Japanese for making ROLAND

@lekoos Agree totally regarding Japan. On Duran Duran: Nick Rhodes is guilty of Kajagoogoo's success since he got them in the door at EMI and produced their first album. Nick Beggs is an exceptional bass player but 180 degrees in style from Mick Karn (RIP).

@mysterywhylay They were closer musically to progressive music and jazz than any thing else. Dont confuse fashion with what you hear!

I wonder if this video is blocked in China. It would make sense, being the obvious focus on China's politics. But, yes, yet again, Japan's music is very relevant, both musically and thematically.

Japan were a big part of my formative years

@chrisc4u They were around before DD formed... They were influential to Nick Rhodes and Simon LeBon, BOTH loved Japan and often talked about their music which never made it big stateside. When DD hosted MTV playing their favorite videos, they played Japan and praised them. Japan didn't want to follow the popstar mould.. they were all very accomplished musicians and only got better after they split up. David Sylvian has had a rich solo career as have the others. Kajagoogoo were the poor man's DD
