Japan's B-sides are much better than so many today's A-sides !!!

Japan for ever !!!!!!!!!

I think this was one of Mick's favourate japan songs. JKB played it live at thr Astoria in the 90's. It was brilliant as Karn was right in front of me at the gig.Will always be in my memory.Mick you will never be forgoten.

I still love this song as much as I did back then. Maybe someone can answer something that's always puzzled me a little... the group was called Japan, there is defintitely a Japanese influence in their music, but then they have Mao Tse Tung on their album cover, some of their songs are about China eg. Cantonese Boy, Visions of China. I guess they were just very smitten with the orient in general. Anyway, one of the best groups of the eighties.

In light of the recent events in the far east the title of this track has new meaning.

@futuristfood Me too. Each copy of Trouser Press magazine in the early 80's had a flexi discincluded. There was some great music on them.
