Japan – Life In Tokyo (UK 12″ Ltd. Edition)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1979

“Life in Tokyo” is a song by the British band Japan. A collaboration with disco producer Giorgio Moroder, who also co-wrote the song with David Sylvian, it marked a change of direction from the bands previous sound. Originally released as a single in 1979, it was reissued twice before it finally became a hit on The UK Singles Chart in 1982.

The song was written by Giorgio Moroder and band vocalist David Sylvian. The musical style is in line with Moroder’s electronic disco style as already employed on albums by Donna Summer, Munich Machine and on his own From Here to Eternity in 1977. Moroder’s trademark arpeggiated synthesiser can be heard throughout the track.
