@Hollow Skull Whats wrong with you? He can write what he want its his opinion, so why you're insulting him? Im sorry, Poland its free country, we can writes our opinions in iternet.
My mom and dad says this is the first song that I listened. I am 24 now and I am still listening to this one. I want this song played in my funeral as well.
What fascinates me about this song is it somehow gives me a different perspective to dealing with people and bad events. Can't express it properly really but been wondering if anyone else feels the same? It's not just about finding the comfort in pitying the enemy, it's about being at peace with things as they are and walking against the wind smirking, realising that you're the strongest when you have nothing to lose. That's the image I see while listening to this but maybe it's just me.

A true 80s forgotten classic from the summer of 84' should of been such a bigger hit! At least top 3 an I'm still listening to this in 2021 37 years after it was first realised in August 1984 still sounds amazing!!!🤩👌
I saw Alphaville live in Uppsala in 1998 /99. Norrlands nation. My date didn’t show up that night. Anyway I especially remember when they played this song.
Una gran canción de 1984, sin duda tiene una melodía fuerte y a la vez suave, acordes pegadizos y una gran letra. Sin duda de mis canciones favoritas, y a usted que Lee este comentario le felicito por su buen gusto.
I don't know why but including me, many of my friends love that song so much in Turkey and when I see that here, it takes me back in past amazingly... Thanks for sharing.
and young uncle T. West Germany had some helluva good music during the cold war. How about East Germany.. oh wait there were dumb commies banning everything
Highly impressed! Put youtube on a track for party music, starting with E-type. Suddenly this track showed up, it was clear by the vocal track that it was old and yet it still kept up. I will always remember Alphaville for "Forever young", but suddenly it was clear to me they were never a one hit wonder. :)
When I was 5 my parents had a small microsystem with a CD that had only the best songs of those times. I still remember that this song right here was number 4 on the CD. I used to just stay there bobbing my head to the tunes! Great times!

Great song from the decade that produced great music. Viva 80s!
not only that but great cars, movies and games aswell!
As much as I'd play devil's advocate, when I look at anime too, I can't help but agree.
Haven’t listened to this for so long, used to be on the radio in our car on my way to school. Loved the 80’s.
This and Hong Kong Garden. Two songs that end with a gong!
Anyone who has such a perfect music style that listen this amazing song in 2021 probably would be my soulmate in real life
It was my favourite song as a kid and now I'm mid twenties and still like it

hahaha this is day #2 for me.

That's because turkish people have a different point of view about mainstream melodys, which are better than germanys

As I know, ''Big in Japan'' is a mood which means to be ''reckless''. I think that's why he says ''Things are easy when you're big in Japan.''
Big in Japan is on the skids. "I don't have anything going on here, but hey, they say I'm big in Japan!
I love the tune of this song
Tempos de amor e alegria. Violência não fazia parte do dicionário dessa época.
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, 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
Neon on my naked skin, passing silhouettes
Of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or should 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
Tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
