Winter's cityside, crystal bits of snowflakes All around my head and in the wind I had no illusions that I'd ever find A glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes You did what you did to me Now it's history, I see Here's my comeback on the road again Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight It's easy when you're big in Japan Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight Big in Japan, be tight Big in Japan, where the Eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan, alright Pay, then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan Oh, when you're big in Japan Neon on my naked skin, passing silhouettes Of strange illuminated mannequins Shall I stay here at the zoo Or shall I go and change my point of view For other ugly scenes You did what you did to me Now it's history, I see Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight It's easy when you're big in Japan Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight Big in Japan, be tight Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan, alright Pay, then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight Big in Japan, be tight Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan, alright Pay, then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan Oh, when you're big in Japan Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight Big in Japan, be tight Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan, alright Pay, then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan Oh, when you're big in Japan
When you played this song, I was 26. Now I’m 41. I’m getting older but this song is still young. 15 years later, I might not be here. I just wanted to leave a trace. You don’t know me but we have something in common; this masterpiece somehow had a place in our heart and memories.
@@DX5 we’re listening to right now. Thank you. My wife and kids loved it. I raise them with synthesizer culture. I have 3 midi keyboards and an old Yamaha synthesizer however I’m not very good at it.
i've listened to this cover over many years now and I just have to drop a comment to say how special it's become to me. Thanks for you interpretation and artistry!
Thanks. Check the updated cover, as I dared to play the bassline in realtime at the same time of the right hand and the result was not so successful :)
Very, very cool, DX5! And then again one gets to see: The most impressing tunes are often the most simple ones, as Big in Japan is based on just two different (yet very similar) 4-bar-hooks that stay exactly the same throughout the whole song. Simply ingenious!!! The first Alphaville CD, Forever Young, is definitely one of the greates pieces of Synthpop ever made.
I've known the theme of this song just for a few years....Wow terrible...Thank you for your DX5 cover (I play it a little by ear on my little Option piano keyboard. If I'm not disturbed by the neighbor upstairs who spends his time pushing furniture or vacuuming...lol🇨🇵🙏🏻🇪🇦
Man, i have no words. Awesome, outstanding performance! Playing manually the rhythm parts while performing and in real time on three synts, damn! I watch this video everyday and i hope someone send the style for my korg pa50 just to be able to perform aswell
Back for another viewing of this fantastic rendition. Very enjoyable. I love the coordination, the repetitive/slavish bass, the quickness of the notes being played on the middle keyboard, and the lush chords on the top keyboard, the changes of which get quicker at about 2:09.
Best version ever so good to see people that buy cool keyboards - know how to play - and after all puts the time to make a nice vid for fellow youtube viewers.. thanks great collection.
I’ve never heard this song but know they are famous. This sounds excellent, so upbeat, synthy and most importantly, Japanese! I will have to listen to this and their other music! Fantastic recreation btw!
Really really good. Keyboards and piano and such beautiful instruments. I love to see them being played. I'll be back to watch this many times, I'm sure!
Winter's cityside, crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions that I'd ever find
A glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history, I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, where the Eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan
Neon on my naked skin, passing silhouettes
Of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or shall I go and change my point of view
For other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history, I see
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan
This is actually one of the best covers of the song I've ever heard! Congratulations! You hit the nail on the head!
1984. happy days.☺
The song hit the billboard in 1985
DX5 is amazing. Every song sounds like the original. DX5 is so talented. Bravo!!!!
Thanks.
As far as I remember is a preset called Koto doubled one octave below in performance mode. It fit perfect for the sound.
Its so easy when you're big in Japan ..... Brilliant
Happy & Forever Young thanks DX5 ☺☺☺
Very perfect.
Thanks, but check the newest version out, way better than this :)
there are several reasons why I love 80s music... for one thing I love to say 80s the music is AWESOME and theres more
I love this music and I love the eighties generation. I am 88.
When you played this song, I was 26. Now I’m 41. I’m getting older but this song is still young. 15 years later, I might not be here. I just wanted to leave a trace. You don’t know me but we have something in common; this masterpiece somehow had a place in our heart and memories.
Great to read it, Dogan. Check the updated version (link in the video description)

Wow amazing real artist
artist creates. Maybe he is an artist but not because of this video ....
@@siemniak applying separation of senses in each hand is very difficult
Amazing, impresionante. I came here like 12 years later, but, still, you are damn talented. Llegué con 12 años de atraso, pero sos un crack total.
Eu cheguei aqui depois de 14 anos
This is the best Cover ever
Nah, the updated version is way better :) ruclips.net/video/2F4_T62WN9I/видео.html
Most people would have sequenced the bass line. You, on the other hand, are too much of a talented badass for that!
amazing..
“Big in Japan is one my favourite song by Alphaville i used to listen this song a lot when i was and i love it very much indeed “
Wow amazing awesome so talented and my favorite song🥰🌞🌈💜✝️
That left hand was on point the whole time! Well done Sir!
Thanks but I don't think so. Lot of timing offset. Hence I 've recorded this again with pre sequenced bass :)
Es el cielo!!!!!❤❤❤
Gracias. La versión actualizada suena un poco mejor :) ruclips.net/video/2F4_T62WN9I/видео.html
Tremendous 🎉
Well, the updated version is more accurate though.
Thanks Stevie!
Excellent cover sir.
Thanks but I would suggest to check the updated version, with sequenced bassline (instead me playing it live). Link is on video description.
Absolutely fantastic. My favourite eighties track. My desert island disc
i've listened to this cover over many years now and I just have to drop a comment to say how special it's become to me. Thanks for you interpretation and artistry!
and damn, there I see a comment from me, 13 years ago!
Thanks for your loyality then, @@BodomBeachKiller :).
Thanks. Check the updated cover, as I dared to play the bassline in realtime at the same time of the right hand and the result was not so successful :)
Great play 🙏👍

That song brings back so many great memories in my 1973 Datsun 240Z, cruising the city, thinking I was cool. Thanks for doing all these songs. :-)
