my favourite roxy music song that never made it to the band. but come on: two bass players - the 1 , 2 - 123-1234-lets go handclaps - the sudden rhytm changes and 'dear john do re mi fa so ' as a song text. a masterful ferry roxy glam popculture piece
I just watched the 1949 film 'Tokyo Joe'- not much in common with this song, apart from title and location..BUT..it features both Humphrey Bogart and the repeated use of 'These foolish things'...triple inspiration for Ferry, I reckon.
One of the Wings' members, Denny Laine's 'Japanese tears' is also based on Chinese music. I'm Japanese. I was living in U.K in early 90's when I'm a little boy and was also living there from 2011 to 2014. Then I was always feeling that European people didn't know Japan. They couldn't distinguish Japan from China. Just French and Spanish people know Japan slightly better than the other European people. Because Japanese contemporary cultures such as clothing brand( Yoji Yamamoto, Issei Miyake and so on), animation, movies are accepted there.
I am Japanese and love this song. But, I think that the melody of this song is closer to rather Chinese one than Japanese, maybe. So I want to call it Beijing Joe. Shanghai , Hongkong is also good. However, I also cannot distinguish Englishmen from Germans. Everyone is the same. Ha, ha, ha.
Indubitably Chris Spedding making That Sound and typically doing more in a solo that barely lasts a few seconds than....well... anyone. Maybe one and a half Bass players. :) John Wetton is doing all the hard work, while the other one looks like he's bluffing, but it doesn't matter, because knitwear like that means it's only Phil Manzanera... Ann O'Dell on keyboards and TGPT hitting things rounds out something of a Dream Team...
In MY MIND oh yeah. Jealous of Bryan the new creative genius ...Mick Jagger was working his Charms on this tour on Mr Ferry's Wife....Jerry Hall........fine.... he set himself up! Bryan was friendly with this jerk! Mick was also Jealous about the Genius of Bryan and his new musical avenues...........i am sorry to say. Bryan"s kids with her would have been much more ideal in the long run ......(yes kids with Jerry Hall and Bryan Ferry would be best)................but Mick knew the TRICK let HER wrestle or get goofy like a good goofy Texan ............sad. Bryan Ferry would have been the best Dad! Oh well.
Ferry was just 32 here, throughout his career he always seemed mature, yet even now at 78 looks youthfull!
He could still carry off leather trousers 😎
@@anorakus8272 He probably still can!
HIS OUTFIT! 🤘🏼💋⚡️
Indeed…great ❤

Although it’s probably not his best - certainly not his most famous - but it’s my fav too 🙌🏼
My daughter is in Tokyo right now! And I thought of this great song by gorgeous Bryan Ferry 💗
Epitome of cool.
This song is just sooo cool - and Mr Ferry's performance is even cooler - The dude is as smooth as Belgian cocolate. Ah-so!
Great clip thank you
Ultimate cool :)
カッコイイ曲だ！
Just awesome.... Go Bryan
Awesome version
The album "In your mind" was advertised all around Bristol city's ashton Gate in 1977..
A funny song with oriental influences , the mysterious woman with the lotus flower in her hair 🪷🩷 💃🎶👏 @bryanferry ❤

ドラマの影響もあってか、この曲は面白いですね。

ドラマ「GIFT」で使用されて話題になったけど「空耳アワー」から知った人も多いかも(笑)

今野雄二がやって来る。東京ジョーと馬鹿にされながらってか、懐かしいね。
The man is cooler than a bucket of LOX
Tokyo Joe was a chalk name written on an atomic bomb. Sayonara!; Real big Kiss off! 😎
😅😅😅😅😅
カッコイイ！！と思いませんか？？
It should have been a bigger hit than it was…
Why are his lips touching the microphone?
ギフトの歌だ❗
great singer .. always looks pissed !
😂😂😂 I adore Bryan, but you have a point!
Me too!!!!! *____* ;)
Dem leather pants
Two bass players with Manzanera playing on one?? WT...??
Always think of my Japanese exgirlfriend when I hear someone pronounce
Toe - kee - o.
She would laugh and say
" It's Tok-yo, only 2 syllables.
She’s right but phonetically you would show it this way To-Kyo
@@ZaZaZoo22
Aah, thank you !
gift

木村拓哉くんのドラマの主題歌🔪

Ferry and Hall weren't married, they were engaged.
あ、多分ウィスキーじゃありません
Not okay by today's standards.
No brilliant, by today's standards.
