I saw Japan in 1981 at UEA, The Art of Parties Tour. They were spellbinding, no tapes, totally live and on it. Skilked musicians too. They didnt suffer from a lack of musical training, the absence allowed their raw skills to develop without barriers. By the time they split, their musicianship was still top notch ; they could really play. Proper pro's

The late Mick Karn stated in his book that Sylvian took money/ royalties that were due to the other members including his brother Steve Jansen and stole it to be blunt !!! I take an extremely dim view of that sort of behavior to put it mildly. That’s why they broke up !!!

@@damianb2374 That Mick Karn was the real genius in the band. I can't see what you don't understand from that statement. As I'm sure that you'd acknowledge, it's all too common for the vocalist and the guitarist to get the credit while the rhythm section are not even spoken about. Japan are a classic case with Karn and Jansen not getting the acclaim they deserve.

Pretentious twat!
The music of Japan and the language of Germany
