I was never a Japan fan, but they intrigued me. I remember the first time I saw them on Top Of The Pops and the first thing that jumped out at me was David Sylvian’s very obvious Brian Ferry vocal style. This didn’t go down well in initially. No big deal though. They still held my attention and what I found just as fascinating was Sylvian’s seamless transition from awkward pop star to relatively obscure arty purveyor of sonics. This film from The Old Grey Whistle Test is a goodie because it shows all of these aspects and puts across their positive incongruence.
