Artist Biography
Japan started out as an audacious young glam-inspired band in the late '70s. By the '80s, their sound grew more subtle and exotic, a mixture of Bowie/Roxy art-rock and Asian influences. Their electronic textures and high-fashion image were inspirational to "new romantic" bands like Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet, who outlived but never surpassed Japan.
