Japan

A work of art unparalleled in its purity and vitality... Japan, a British rock act that made a strong impression on the scene with its beautiful looks and artistic rock sound, and is still very popular even after its breakup in 1982. Their important work "Quiet Life", which was released in 1979 and presented a new direction to the scene, is now re-released with the latest remastered soundtrack! Japan was a band that made a strong impression on the music scene in the late 70's and early 80's. The band consisted of David Sylvian, Steve Jansen, Mick Kern, and Richard Barbieri, all of whom had strong personalities and excellent taste in music. The band first became popular in Japan and later gained worldwide acclaim, and even after their breakup in 1982, they continued to attract new fans, making them a truly "peerless" art rock group. Their third album, "Quiet Life," was released in 1979, and it was an important album that pushed the band away from their previous glam rock sound to a deeper, more European sound, and has now been remastered and re-released. ! This reissue will be available in three formats: a CD and analog version containing the original album with the latest remastering, and a deluxe edition with two CDs containing a number of bonus tracks. QUIET LIFE" was released in 1979 in some countries and 1980 in others, metaphorically marking the end of the 70s and literally the beginning of the 80s. It was uniquely fitting for a band that was about to release a record with an entirely new sound, one that would step out of the shadows of the glam rock and post-punk that had come before and define a new decade. Quiet Life", Japan's third album, last and most successful release for Hanza Records, included songs such as "Quiet Life" and "All Tomorrow's Parties", and was a pioneer of the alternative, new wave, and new romantic sound of the early 80's. It also included the singles "Life In Tokyo", "European Son", and "I Second That Emotion", which were not included on the album. Including the singles "Life In Tokyo," "European Son," and "I Second That Emotion," which were not included on the album, this album was a forerunner of the alternative, New Wave, and New Romantic sounds of the early 1980s. Although this album did not make the UK Top 50, its lasting influence has been felt for decades, and it is now universally recognized as one of the great British classic albums of the era. Of QUIET LIFE, Japan drummer Steve Jansen says, "I felt that it was a more complete work as a group of musicians who were beginning to find their voices rather than simply proving their ability to write/play music. Keyboardist Richard Barbieri also noted, "The big change is that David has started writing more songs on piano. This was better suited to more open, spacious sounding songs, and he was beginning to understand how to build arrangements," acknowledging the seismic changes the band was experiencing.
