Japan- Life in Tokyo 1979

The guys who the Duran's supposedly stole their look from - Japan. The Duran boys epecially john taylor was a huge Roxy Music fan.

Japan earlier on was trying to looks like those semi-losers the NY Dolls. Japan were kind of a joke until this song produced by Giorgio Moroder. They then did 2 or 3 incredible albums then broke up. Mick Karn one of the best rock bass players ever. Also plays sax on thre great break on the song. Steven Jansen great drummer too but on this song just playing straight dance beat.

Good stuff. I remember them, but only vaguely. I'll have to check them out.

One of my all time favorite U2 songs, actually it was the song that made me love them.
Man that that's an old video, seeing as the Edge still had hair.
