Japan - Life in Tokyo (Giorgio Moroder Version)

Loved 'Japan", hated this always, i'll take anything on the first 2 albums over this any day, a drone, monotonous.

Still Awesome to this day

When I was 8, I wanted to be David Sylvian. I'm 44 now and I still want to be David Sylvian.

Fuckin coolest band that ever walked the planet...

What a great stomp this is! : ) 700 calories right there if you get through it.

The flow of this song is phenomenal you can get lost in it so easily. So under appreciated

Sounds like early Duran Duran material.

Some of the best music ever made

Yes, just click it all!

wow What a song!!!!!

top notch Band 😉

I love this song

Ooft! See when Mick takes off at exactly 2.37 in... absolute class!

12" red vinyl ...later a track on Assembledge.

80s the pinnacle of music!

I wonder how long it took Moroder to decide to build the song around Mick's bass and David's voice, and relegate everything else to the background? Gotta say, I prefer the Steve Nye mix, especially the extended version.

Good stuff let me go back in time please

Croy Teds rifffffff

Susan Downs ruggy XTC posse

I remember dancing to it at the Embassy Club in London! Great memories. The 80's the best years of my whole life ! 😀 Love From Paris France 🗼 💕 Stay safe 🙏

When you can't decide if you prefer Italo Disco to New Wave or the other way round, there's this.

Mick Karn AND Giorgio Moroder on one track. Ambassador, you are spoiling us with your selection.

It’s Mick Karn yes he’s one of the best

One of my favourite Japan songs. Moroder did good again.

Japan - the thinking person's Duran Duran

Just simply SUBLIME OR WHAT … this is a HEAVYWEIGHT SLATE BEING THROWN DOWN RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW .. so advanced for its years …. Japan …. Ghosts …. Quiet life … Tom Drum ect ect ect … BAD BAD BAD …. And TIMELESS ….. Midnight express the Chase , Donna Summer and so on and so on … And HOUSE MUSIC WAS BORN … SICK …. Come with it my selector …..

Tin Drum not Tom drum 🤣🤣🤣oops to many beers 🍻👍

Brilliant!

I was lucky enough to be a part of this generation, would not have it any other way. I feel blessed. I feel sorry for the kids of today who just are on a different wavelength. Not their fault, just social engineering. Very sad to see.

One of the 80,s bands that got me into synths,I’ve come up with some decent sometimes strange tunes/songs just dabbling around .. love this mix 👌

A principal referência dos Duran Duran.

Giorgio sure could switch on an arpeggiator! 😂

Hello Duran Duran..they ripped off Japan and this was the record that inspired it..

i was 7 years old when I first heard this still loving it and listening to it at nearly 50

Oh my god! The first Maxi-Single I bought in 1980. I was 14. Thank you so much! Great! - It's still in my collection! All the best from Berlin/ Germany!

why is the bass buried here and in others, at least in a 12'' you can hear mick! its amazing such an artist died almost penniless. but hey you all are making tiktokers gyrating their butt millionairs every year lol

Ottimi i Loro primi quattro Album.

Eh,... parlo da italiano appassionato di New Wave: produzione del mio connazionale Moroder e idee del britannico Sylian: bomba della discoteca! Pezzo elegantissimo e ballereccio da scoppiare.... da ballare fino alla morte!(Sono sopravvissuto ma ci facevo le 3 del mattino... da giovanotto).

Tune! Banger! LOUD 🔊

best version imho!

Happy days ❤️

Japan didn't want it they let Duran Duran become the biggest band of the early 80s

Lucky enough to have seen them at Lancaster University Nov 1982 best gig I ever whent to - still remember it to this day was at the front mick Khan was mesmerising

Pure Magic 🌎🌍

ANYTHING GIORGIO TOUCHES IS LIQUID PLATINUM, THE FATHER OF DISCOEDM(DISCOVERY)(VERY DISCO)

Dat bassline

"Watch this.",
a DJ once said to me.
And then played this.

At the grand, old age of 54, I'm FINALLY getting into Japan--- (Duncan Lindsell was right!). They were obviously far ahead of the game in 1979; sounds like post-"Movement" New Order to these tired, old ears, 👏

Red vinyl, transferred to cassette tape, February 1980, snowstorms, an eight hour drive to the Cairngorm mountains, Scotland - the song on repeat lasted past Manchester, Cumbria, Glasgow........
