Review by Joachim Hilbert

Kyoto 1982 by Japan is a stunning album that showcases the band's unique sound and style. The album is a compilation of live recordings from their 1982 tour in Japan, and it captures the energy and excitement of their performances.

The album features some of Japan's most popular songs, including "Ghosts," "Visions of China," and "Cantonese Boy." The band's signature sound is a blend of synth-pop, new wave, and art rock, and they expertly fuse these genres together to create a sound that is both futuristic and nostalgic.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Swing," which features a driving beat and catchy hooks that will have listeners dancing along. Another highlight is "Methods of Dance," which showcases the band's experimental side with its intricate rhythms and unconventional song structure.

New wave, art rock, synth pop band, formed in London, England in early 1974. Japan comprised David Sylvian (vocals), his brother Steve Jansen (drums), Richard Barbieri (keyboards) and Mick Karn (saxophone/bass). Rob (Robert) Dean joined the line-up as guitarist and the band subsequently won a recording contract with the German record company Ariola-Hansa. Eminently unfashionable in the UK punk era, they first found success in Japan. After three albums with Ariola-Hansa, they switched to Virgin Records in 1980 and found their fortunes dramatically improving thanks to the surge of popularity in the New Romantic movement. Japan's androgynous image made them suddenly fashionable and they registered several UK Top 20 singles. Their albums Gentlemen Take Polaroids (1980) and Tin Drum (1981) were also well received. Rob Dean left the band after Gentlemen Take Polaroids but continued working with the band for one more tour thereafter. Disagreements between Karn and Sylvian undermined the band's progress just as they were achieving some long-overdue success, and they split in late 1982. The members diversified into collaborative work and solo careers, reuniting (minus Dean) in 1991 for a project under the moniker of Rain Tree Crow.
