Quiet Life (Japanese 7" Version)

Quiet Life is the album that transformed Japan from past-tense glam rockers into futuristic synth popsters, though they'd been leaning in that direction for a while. It's also a solid proto-New Romantic synthesizer record, enhanced by Mick Karn's superb fretless bass work and David Sylvian's smooth, sneering vocals spread over pop hits like the title track and "Fall in Love with Me." [The 2006 reissue includes five bonus tracks.]

<Assemblage>是 Japan在1993年4月25日發行的專輯。

Japan的《Tin Drum》以極簡主義美學重構了後朋克的基因，將東方音階與電子實驗編織成流動的聲景。這張1981年的概念專輯如同機械鳥鳴，在冰冷的合成器脈衝中生長出詩意的旋律線條，主唱David Sylvian的聲線在《Ghosts》裏遊走於虛實邊界，而《Visions of China》則用錯位的鼓機節奏打開了新浪潮的東方想象。那些精密如鐘錶機械的編曲，至今仍在影響暗潮與電子樂領域。

<Oil On Canvas (Remastered 2003)>是Japan 在2014年8月25日發行的專輯。

《In Vogue》是Japan的一張專輯。78年Japan樂隊發表了他們的頭兩張專輯:《Adolescent Sex》及《Obscure Alternative》，當時樂隊尚保持五人陣容：主唱David Sylvian，貝司手Mick Karn，敲擊樂手Steve Jansen，鍵盤及合成器樂手Richard Barbieri和吉它手Rob Dean。他們那濃裝豔抹的女性化打扮，和叛逆頹廢的音樂風格，是對整個社會的大眾價值觀及音樂潮流的反動。

Sylvian himself oversaw the compilation, which leads to an important note: if there's a version of the album to get, appropriately enough it's the Japanese one. As the collection was apparently meant to be geared towards the band's namesake country first
