Thinking of Mick today and always. He'd be 66 today. There is a light that never goes out.❤

Meravigliosa!

Always think this was what should have followed Tin Drum

Brilliant track brilliant band Jeff swansea

I have watched so much Japan and Mick Karn in the past month or so that I now move my head sideways instead of back and forth, as well. I also raise my arms in praise for his actual bass playing. Stunningly awesome. He is sorely missed.

RIP Mick

A truly beautiful song, they don't make them like this no more sadly. A great year it was for music, 1983

Idk why but I vibe with this song. I’m not gay or lgbtq. But I sense a lot of emotions and pain and sadness in the lyrics.

Beautiful, moving, fantastic I've listened to this I. Going to say over 20 years xx

I love the song "Obscure Alternatives"... it's just so beautifully arranged and I love the "crescendo" feeling it has. I honestly prefer Japan's new wave/avant-gard/sperimental side, but their first two albums aren't even normal glam rock style, they're just... JAPAN style, you know? How I wish they had continued to be a band for a few more years...

When they were more Bowie influenced.

Listening to this in 2024 and it's taken me straight back to my youth. R.I.P Sakamoto

He looks like Beck and sounds like Scott Walker

Hurts

New York dolls turning in their grave

That’s what I call a Supergroup.

The boys keep swinging!!

Thank you very much. 1:33 am, working, I just needed it

こういう悲劇や辛い現実に根差した曲よりもバカみたいな浅い曲の方がよっぽど世の中に広がりやすいのは皮肉なもんだな

5:47 HEEEOLP

Davids voice … wonderful

A masterpiece. And the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto adding colour on the piano. So much greatness in one piece of music.

The wounds on your hands never seem to heal I thought all I needed was to believe Here am I, a lifetime away from you The blood of Christ, or the beat of my heart My love wears forbidden colours My life believes Senseless years thunder by Millions are willing to give their lives for you Does nothing live on? Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me My hands in the soil, buried inside of myself My love wears forbidden colours My life believes in you once again I`ll go walking in circles While doubting the very ground beneath me Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything Here am I, a lifetime away from you The blood of Christ, or a change of heart My love wears forbidden colours My life believes My love wears forbidden colours My life believes in you once again

The most haunting piece of music ever written.❤

These guys are crazy good, it's even useless to say. Why we don't have anyone like them anymore...?

Let the happiness in 7" single

Beautiful song, always loved it and always will........❤

Anyone listening in 2024 🖤

１３の時にTVで聴いて曲名がわからず今日まで生きてきた。 今日ようやく辿り着き涙に暮れている。 素晴らしい歌ですよね。 we are the worldも良いけどこの歌もチャリティーソングとはとても思えないくらい 深い気持ちが込められていますね。

Mick Karn on keyboards, in addition to his bass and saxophone skills. What an amazing and versatile talent!

Magnifica esibizione. L'estasi del Maestro...
