  1. Wag says Japan? Oh my God! Just hearing this one brings back the smell of imported hairspray and clove cigarettes!

  2. Mike the Knife says Are you trying to tell yourself that, for years, you've harbored a secret crush on David Sylvain?

  3. ciphermedia says On some occasions I found Japan and David Sylvian a bit too fey, but this is one of their great tracks. It has a bit more of a pop sensibility that a lot of their stuff. Can see why it would get stuck in your head. Great to see the clip too. My God! The Hair!

  4. Lizziegreeneyes says Mmmmmmm clove cigarettes... *Misstee* - maybe you're only saying the quiet life for a day or two... a little respite... or maybe you are saying you've harbored a secret crush on DS, (I think he wants to be David Bowie) ;). Now me, my secret crush is... yeah, not tellin ;) Thanks for the stroll down memory lane though - that was fun :)

  6. Misstee says Wag - clove cigarettes? really? Mike - It was a full blown crush in my youth. Lizzie - I NEED quiet - BAD. And yes DS clearly wanted to be DB after he wanted to be DJ. Cipher - the hair is the best part, it had a life of its own. Ahhh the 80s. I actually discovered Japan after I had heard Sylvian's work with Sakamoto, so I came late to the party. Glad y'all liked it...hmmmm maybe will have to do a Japan centric Friday night videos soon....
