Sadly, that is an urban legend. The song has nothing to do with masturbation, but it'd be a lot better if it was. It's about someone feeling like they are in a completely different emotional state of mind after a break-up. Like if you were in a country you had no clue about.

That song brings memories. One of my favorites from the New Wave era. May I suggest you try "Echo Beach" by Martha and the Muffins? This WAS my favorite new wave song. I think you'll like it.
When I was a teen back in the 80's, I use to turn this song up and jump on my bed when I was upset about something. It really helped. Haha Thanks for the memories.

@@aceldamia9114 that’s what I’ve always been led to believe. 😂
@@aceldamia9114 One hell of a good legend.
Hence the term: Turning Japanese. (It's like an English M.A student's wet dream...)
This song definitely has a new wave/punk influence to it.
It's 1980 or '81.
Post punk power pop/new wave
Another one hit wonder is by Hurricane Smith/Oh Babe, What Would You Say. A top three hit in the early 70's.
I remember this one, LOL!
Great song
