    i love Japan and can understand the direction they took as the New Romantic scene took of ,although they stayed musically aloof of the chart fodder, but I think there first two albums were fantastic and a great twist on their " New York Dolls " influence

    japan wereo one of those founded new wave groups with a very different sound from other groups in the same genre of music.

    My all time favourite band and then some! total agreement with MedusaPhoenix. My all time fave album is ''Gentlemen'' miles in front of the followers who tagged onto a 'New Romantic' image. but check out their first two albums and see how far they came before Mr Sylvian embarked on a very succesfull solo career which still goes from musical strength to strength

    "Living the highlife"... no imitators here. Japan and Sylvian were and are still innovators.... Rain Tree Crow / Nine Horses / Solo material. All worth a listen...

    I bought this and loved pretty much everything they did after that. Guitar on this sounds like it's nicked from a Bowie track and DB is pretty close to God-like after all. Vocals like Bryan Ferry too but what the heck, it's still great.
