Mick Karn- Coolest bass player EVER!!

@jhnbalance You talk out your ARSE!! This doesnt sound like a copy of anything- Japan are completely unique and original.

@thebrnochairsvideos Indeed the drum work on this is seriously, seriously good.

[Lenidoll]

@biladd hello my friend is there any video with a live performance of the cover "Aint that peculiar"???

Out of all the comments gerally made about the musicianship in Japan, no one seems to mention how savage Jansen is as a drummer. His drumming in 'Sons of Pioneers' and 'My New Career' amazingly complex yet satisfyingly poptastic. He even makes this song a lesson is style and elegance over bravado. Genius!
