Sometime in the 80's David Sylvian was voted most beautiful man in a magazine. He certainly was very beautiful & some of my male friends were very jealous of the female attention he received!
Absolutely wonderful! Fantastic band and as for David Sylvian....what can I say except *sigh*. I crushed on him big time! Think I still do, actually! Thanks for uploading this gem of a clip. x
nice audio with live coverage, Japan were unique and never got the maintream coverage, which makes the more discerning anf unique. They still have a special place in my heart.
This band was so unique at the time & even now, they seemed not to come from any particular country. They had 'weird' names, looks, sound, style, technology - they were called Japan, sang about China & Africa and had those sounds & rhythms... Karn's bass & the vocals - everything was unique. Great artists
David Sylvian is so beautiful when he smiles. I wish he'd do it a little more often at this particular stage of his life. Him on the cover of Wire this month is particularly disturbing...Looks like he's the lonesome Baron from Beauty and The Beast or something.
I've got these 3 tracks also. A bit better quality though. I'll post em when i find out how to. I've also got the Swing/My new career session from OGWT in it's entirety. This was originally in 4:3 so how have you managed to get it into 16:8?
So lovely to see David smile

I wander if Sylvian was ever nick named the Milky Bar Kid from the advert!
God, Vision of China sounds identical to the album version. Is this really being played live? Incredible if it is.
hey even phil oakeys in there at 5:07! hahahaha!!!
