David in Utrecht! I find him problematic at times, but I would absolutely have gone to this. Unfortunately I moved there 7 years too late. It's a different structure now, though they built around the main hall, if I remember correctly, so he'd recognize that, at least. Love this and Orpheus. When I love one of his songs, I really love it and want to listen on repeat. ;)

dankuwel!

Drink lots of goat milk Kefir. It increases testosterone and gives one an enhanced resonance to their voice ( bigger balls!).

Can anyone id the cool music at the beginning of this interview?

Resonant voice

Cockney twang

Love this guy's South London accent .

Adoro a JAPAN...!! Son tan diferentes de esta primera etapa...a la ultima..!! No obstante me encantan todos sus discos....Y este tema es tan decadente....y fuerte...!! K me chifla.!!

One of the best song ever written, in a wonderful live rendition

What month is this from?

So much laughing, but it's hard to tell if that is down to nerves, discomfort with the questions/situation, being tipsy or genuine humour. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall...

In the first interview David says he doesn't have an image. Of course he had an image during that time. I was attracted to the band when I first saw a picture of them in Star Hits magazine in the 80's, and I hadn't heard any of their music at all. I had read in various Duran Duran interviews that Nick Rhodes and John Taylor had been influenced by Japan, so that is how I first heard of them. Found the Assemblage album in a record store one day in '84 so I bought it. Wasn't very impressed with the early stuff, but when I first heard Life In Tokyo and European Son I knew that I had found a great band, who quickly became one of my very favorites, and still are today.

My New Career - what a beautiful song.

I think the first interview is probably from 1982 because he's talking about singles from the Tin Drum album, whereas the second interview (starting at about 3 mins 45 secs) is definitely from 1984. Two separate interviews in my opinion.

Beautiful update to a modern classic!

I love this song!

early japan gets given a lot of shit but this is quite something

Fabulous!

Is the song before the end by YMO?

pure goose bump...

One of my favorite songs =)

Mick Karns - WOW...what a Hidden & VERY Unique Talent! I'm stunned at his note-bending/note choices without knowing how to read music, & application of woodwinds in such an innovative style. I wish I had known about him earlier. He was clearly a huge influence on Nick Beggs (Kajagoogoo bassist) whom I admire very much as well. Thank-you, Mick, for staying true to your artistic beliefs & style. Your contribution to the music world is rich & significant. May you rest in peace & create more in Heaven.

Divine music...Out of this world...The greatest musician ever!Simple and plain!

Classic radio interview

Brilliant!
