“Isn’t that a song?” I hear you think. You are right. ‘Big in Japan’ was the debut single of the German synth-pop band Alphaville. It reached a number 1 position in the European charts in 1984. This cover is also worth listening to. Marian Gold (the original lead singer and author) says about this song: It’s the lie/fantasy of the loser. He says he is not a loser, because in Japan he is really big.
