You'll remember this scan of mine, most likely...

Well I've just edited it FINALLY - albeit a bit poorly in spots, namely around the floral arrangement - and I hope you guys will enjoy. Thanks for the love on the original post.

Here's a clip from Serial Experiments Lain, a clip from the second episode with the first 40 seconds of audio of “Beginning To Melt.” I was so blown away when I first watched the series and heard this because the anime was shared with me by a fellow Japan and JBK fan. She was as surprised as I was.

A great live performance of “Nightporter” by our lovely Japan. The video is a clip from the music program, the Old Grey Whistle Test.

Sylvian press photo, 1984.

This is likely from around the same time as his first album Brilliant Trees was being produced, or shortly after its release. Though, I can’t be sure as I wasn’t around then to see! Haha...

David Sylvian and Steve Jansen, ca. 1982.

I’ve not edited these so they fit into one image but perhaps I will someday. Don’t expect it to be any time soon, I have such little motivation to do any big editing jobs. (The files are massive, by the way.)

[polaroidsofjapan]

yes, love long haired them

They were just children too, so anyone hating on early Japan, don’t be so hard on them. They were trying their best to fit in.

Japan’s improvised fan-meeting, ~1982. 

Credit for pics goes to Japan (Sylvian/Karn/Jansen/Barbieri/Dean) on Facebook, and Keiko Kurata personally (pics 4, 5).

If I took your photos and failed to mention you, please, inform me.

Finally, I can get that groups shared content without encountering rude people :)
