they are what bowie should have been in the 80s

Japan's a country, not a bad.

Don't be silly, anon

Actually a few years ago i was really into david sylvans solo work which is way superior to japan.
Its like if bowie had become even more pretensions and experimental.

I made threads about it back then but mu never bites

>tfw Sylvian almost became the singer for King Crimson

Japan are great, but I know nobody who likes them. they broke up because sylvian stole karns gf. what a dog.

I was really surprised when I found out their keyobard player Richard Barbieri played for Porcupine Tree

>>70840540
could you imagine that? it would have meant no belew though.

>>70840540
So did Elton John

its like some weird club, where everyone knows who japan is and david syvlian, but no one ever talks about them even though they have made great music

they were on to the asian thing before the rest of the 80's became obsessed with it. and dave slyvian always had great hair.

Woah dude/dudette THANK YOU!!!
I think I've just found a new love.

>>70840631
It would've meant no Belew after the Discipline trilogy, and as much as I like THRAK, I could get behind that if it would've meant Sylvian in the band.

>>70840753
hey no worries! i love turning people on new music... glad you like it!

>>70840472
hey this is great, I ignored them for a long tie cause they seemed like typical neoromantic garbage. interesting stuff, cheers op

>>70840472
this is golden. top marks to you sir.

i like sylvian's solo work, especially with sakamoto quite a lot more than japan itself

the quiet life and tin drum are my favourite albums. tin drum is a bit of a masterpiece.
