Japan

Life In Tokyo (12")

RECORD LABEL / RELEASE INFO:

Ariola Records (US) 1979 / PRO 7756
12" Disco Single 33 1/3 rpm Promo

STUDIO CREDITS:

Producer(s) : Giorgio Moroder

TRACKLISTING:

Side A
Life In Tokyo (Long Version 7:05)

Side B
Life In Tokyo (Short Version 3:30)

NOTES:

Japan's main member was David Sylvian and they previously released "Gentlemen Take Polaroids."

Having Giorgio Moroder produce "Life In Tokyo" seems awfully odd, but it works. Japan disbanded in 1982 with Sylvian persuing a solo career.

YOUR REVIEWS & COMMENTS ON Japan

Correction: "Life In Tokyo" was released in spring -79. "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" was released late -80. Between them came the album "Quiet Life". "Tokyo" was a transition for Japan from the ealier glam-funk style towards the aristocratic art pop of their best period. However, it's a one-off, being disco. But to me it's Moroder's coolest and best-sounding ever production...
