    GREAT MUSIC FROM JAPAN
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2023*

A superb introduction to the 1980s group Japan. The CD contains over 70 minutes of excellent music.There are two versions of "Ghosts", being the Album and Single version. The latter could have been omitted in favour of "Sons of Pioneers", which would have made this an even better CD.Nevertheless, a thoroughly recommended collection of Japan's excellent music.

    We deserve a bit more
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2011*

Before we listen to the music, let's start with the packaging.  No pictures of the band, and strange excerpts in the sleeve notes about children playing and hot chocolate?????  What is all this about?  There is some history of the band interspersed between the waffle, but I struggled to understand the point of the waffle in the first place.  I agree with previous reviewers that there is little point to the 2 versions of 'Ghosts', and that a better compilation would be one that (finally) spans the band's whole career rather than their time on this record label or that one.  Also, the accompanying DVD states the concert film is from 1983 - Japan broke up in 1982!!Not sure why a previous reviewer thought DS' solo stuff should be included - this is a Japan Greatest Hits package.  It could have been so much more, though - there could have been, for example, a bonus disc of rare material / 12" mixes from the time / stuff like that.  But no, this is pretty standard fare, and it even misses off Swing', 'My New Career' and 'Sons of Pioneers', but includes the instrumental 'Canton'.  Whoever put this together was obviously in a hurry to get home on a Friday night - and they either weren't a Japan fan or were totally uncaring of those who are.I would recommend buying this for the DVD, as there's more tracks on this than on 'Oil On Canvas'.  However, the DVD here could have included some or all of the band's music videos - another missed opportunity!  But music-wise you'd be better off buying the albums on CD, particularly 'Quiet Life' onwards.Yes, Japan have had several compilations but I doubt the band themselves have been involved with these - it seems more like a cynical move by the different record companies to cash in on a band who didn't make them that much money first time around.Japan could have been one of the big success stories of the 80's but from what I've read, they didn't seem to want it enough, and certainly didn't want to be as poppy as Spandau and Duran.  But for a band that put so much thought and pride and sheer originality into their work, who are still inspiring other bands and musicians 30 years later, they deserve so much better than this ...So why 5 stars?  Because I love Japan, love their music, love David Sylvian and Mick Karn and Richard Barbieri and Steve Jansen, and it's great to have another DVD of the band.  And buying this means there's one less person out there listening to Jedward.
