It was made for the Rainbow Theatre show in 1979 during an instrumental passage in one of the songs, possibly 'Suburban Berlin'. The idea was to make the show 'special' with our limited budget". - Rob Dean 】 #japan #japantheband 092

Mick Karn (unofficial) @mickkarn-lives.bsky.social · 31/01/2025“In the band we’ve always worn masks as protection and it’s people like me, the ones who look the oddest, who have the most to hide. But over the years we’ve tended to wear less and less colour in our hair and make-up as we’ve become a little more confident”. #mickkarn #japantheband 2103
