Life in Tokyo - Japan - Extended Remix

[ODH]

My version of the Japan song, Life in Tokyo

Life In Tokyo

[Pete C]

Blast from the past! Takes me back to my carefree days of the early 80s.  Had 3 listens on the bounce and even had to get up and have a bit of a dance! Fortunately the wife was asleep as it was probably quite reminiscent of Alan Partidge playing air-bass to Gary Numan, if you've ever seen that episode. That takes something now I'm well into the dad-dancer stage of life. From your posts I think we have quite a bit in common in musical taste - The Smiths, Japan, Ska, Bowie, Stranglers.  Great version - I really like the fact that you cover the more unexpected songs like this.  Nice one Nick!!

I like this captured the 80's vibe perfectly!!

I was in a real rush to get this posted last night - missus was already back from zumba - so didn't get a chance to write much.

Wanted to do a Japan cover since Mick Karn died, although was intending Sons of Pioneers.  When cityfest came up was a decision between this and Suburban Berlin.

Pleased with the way it turned out, except for the vocal which sounds a bit Kareoke listening back today.

it was probably quite reminiscent of Alan Partidge playing air-bass to Gary Numan, if you've ever seen that episode.

I've got that clip in my youtube favorites.  Textbook!

Loved the cover Nick, don't remember the original, but your vox sound great to me with the h/phones on, as did the mix...very sweet! After watching the Alan Partridge though, I now have a bit of a vision in my head of Pete C dancing around!
Pete your posts are never going to be the same for me!

excellent

Must admit I'd had a few beers, but it took me right back to Roxy/Bowie nights at Bluto's nightclub in Wigan!

D'you know, I did wonder...

I like your vox. Don`t think i`ve heard this before but yeah it does sound that 80`s feel. Kudos for capturing that.

Just uploaded a new mix.  De-cluttered and with toned down vocals.  I like it better.

Just listened to the re-mix, had another Partridge moment, and yes, even better than your first mix. Vocal performance sounds a lot better. What keyboard do you use Nick?
