'Life in Tokyo' was Japan's 5th single.Released originally in 1979, on the Hansa Record Label, the single failed to make any impact on the UK Singles Charts.
Fast forward to 1981 and Japan are having some success on the Virgin Record Label. Due to this Hansa decided to cash in and release the single for a 2nd time. Unfortunatly this didn't pay off as the single failed to reach the charts.
We move again to 1982 and Japan are making it big now. Hansa decide to re-mix the single and try releasing it again this time with the bands approval. With Sylvian co-ordinating the Sleeve design, this time the relase pays off as the single made it to number 28 in the UK Singles Chart.
A classic Japan song with a big Giorgio Moroder production.
