Dalis Car - Artemis

Absolutely divinely inspired song. Just brilliant in its fragility and composition. It feels like it could fall apart in a second. Damn sad they couldn’t work it out & release more stuff. #raintreecrow #davidsvian #japan #mickkarn #stevejansen #richardbarbieri

I know, it's weird for me to actually post something. But in honor of #MickKarn, here's a short little tune I threw together. #ChapmanStick #guzheng https://jonldavis.net/zhongyuband/2025/02/21/channeling-mick-karn-in-a-small-way/

Happy anniversary to Japan’s album, ‘Quiet Life’. Released this week in the UK in 1980 (and elsewhere in December, 1979). #japanband #japan #davidsylvian #stevejansen #mickkarn #richardbarberiwri #robdean #quietlife #alltomorrowsparties

Jansen/Barbieri/Karn - Playing in a Room with People

2001 live recording, released on LP for RSD 2020 in the UK.

3/4 of Japan/Rain Tree Crow, with Steven Wilson playing the (guitar) part of David Sylvian.

Worth seeking out if any of that sounds interesting…

Jansen/Barbieri/Karn - Playing in a Room with People LP cover.

Three vertical strips with black and white photos of the three primaries, in that order. Title at the top, and the whole thing overlaid with semi-transparent gold letters with the participant names.

The gold LP plays on a vintage, restored Beogram 8002 linear-tracking turntable to the right.

AFAIK This song has nothing to do with #Halloween beyond the title. Posting anyway. 🎵 🎶 🎃 👍 😁 #Music #NewWave #NewRomantic #ClassicRock #ClassicPop #Japan #DavidSylvian #MickKarn #RichardBarbieri #SteveJansen #RobDean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ONjgjgaY4s

Remembering Mick Karn on his birthday. We miss you doll. #mickkarn #adonismichaelides #japan #japanband #daliscar #raintreecrow #godofbass

Rain Tree Crow - Rain Tree Crow

A Japan reunion in all but name, at David Sylvian’s insistence, and unfortunately the only recording they released (save for a follow-on EP).

It’s clear, given that Barberi, Karn and Jansen collaborated many times in various combinations between and after that the tension was with Sylvian…but, again, at least we got this great album.

Relatively recent re-release (2019) sounds excellent.

Rain Tree Crow - Rain Tree Crow LP cover.

A mostly black and white, semi-desert landscape. There are streaks of color running from right to left. The band member names are interspersed with the title.

The black LP plays on a Rega NAIA turntable to the left.

REMINDER: the latest article looks at Japan's 'Nightporter', an atmospheric and innovative ballad from their album Gentlemen Take Polaroids. The single release in 1982 was immaculately packaged. It's music that evokes strong memories for me.

Mick Karn was a brilliant bass player who was also a big part of what gave the '80s band, Japan, its unique flavor. The opening track of his first solo album. "Tribal Dawn" is our #SongOfTheDay.
