Lyrics:
Winter's cityside, crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions that I'd ever find a glimpse of
Summer's heatwave in your eyes
You did what you did to me, now, it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan
Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo? Or should I go
And change my point of view for other ugly scenes?
You did what you did to me, now, it's history I see
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan

RHINO Lyrics please
Qq
fun fact: when this came out, the singer Marian Gold was still working as cooks mate in his hometown in Germany. it got a lot of radio airplay and so one of the cooks said: "son, they are playing your song all day long" and fired him. so the singer was fired because his boss didn't want him to waste his career peeling potatoes
Herford
The boss said " Du bisch zu gut du arroganter Arsch. Geh naus und zeig dene wer dr Chef isch. Aber du musch mir trotzdem noch die 5 Euro vom Dorffescht letschtes Jahr geben"
Sauce or fake
@@norbort1692 Stimmt das wirklich? Hat er so auf Schwäbisch geschwätzt?
Rly ?
40 Years passed by and this song is still a masterpiece
This whole album is absolutely incredible. I cannot believe more artists haven’t sampled their stuff today!
Yeah I was enjoying my prenatal time back then. Incredible times.
i was so young then now 53
How would it stop being a masterpiece?

This masterpiece sums up the 80s, brilliant decade.
I so agree 💯
2024 anyone ?

Listening to this on a train to munich right now
How did the 80s manage to both be so ridiculously random and so amazingly awesome at the same time?
then the mind used it for right things and not for the nonsense of today 🙂
we were so blessed to live in such wonderful freedom
hahahahha you are right
The 80s were the beginning of the tech age but it went to shit after the 80s.
Because actual talent made it big because more people voted to spend actual money for the records based on actually liking them than voted for a puerile TV entertainment show because they were sucked in by the hype and fomo? Just guessing, I could only afford to buy one or maybe two singles per week in the 80's, but voting a few pennies while sitting on my ass using my phone appears easier nowadays. I don't bother doing it, never have, but it still has the appeal of being simple and inexpensive. BTW I still have all the records I bought and a record player so i can listen to any of the music I originally thought was worthwhile. About 5% of it gets ignored, the rest gets a listen at least once a year, much more for some great songs! I feel like I got value for what I spent back in the day. Personally I would rather be able to still listen to the media I bought for as long as i like than have a stream removed because some beancounter exec decides it isn't making enough revenue. I grew up being able to do that and simply don't like companies taking away what I paid for because they already got my money and don't care if I get value or not so long as they get their profit.
I am Japanese teenager and this masterpiece caught my heart❤
Traditional music video is definitely amazing!!🇯🇵🇩🇪
Wen du Deutsch bis muß ich dir leider sagen das big in Japan ein anderen Hintergrund hat Hals fihle denken 😂
Genau
Very sad indeed, the real meaning of this masterpiece
Das gleiche Schicksal fand ich als ich zum ersten Mal von den Stranglers mit Golden Brown hörte!

This music never die!..1984- 2024...hello from Azerbaijan
From 1984 to 2024. 40 years 👏👏👏
I was just 7 Years old when that Song came out!
Too bad it went by in a flash 😢
Yup 1984 Nairobi dancing on a Saturday morning
As one day 😢🎉❤
no matter how old it gets, this song will always be legendary
Concuerdo contigo👍👍
Big
it ages like fine wine
Yes
I agree 👍🙏❤️
1:47 "neon on my naked skin...passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins. " Always loved that line.
But what does it mean?
@@sonicfoxxmusic4281 it means you imagine the image and create your own answer.
I readed over there that the center of this song is the heroine, he is not gay he is waiting for his dealer (man)
@@sonicfoxxmusic4281 He´s describing the atmosphere. he's looking to score heroin in a big city (Berlin) at night so he's passing by neon shop signs and shop windows
@@LoneShot95 Then he says '" Shall I stay here at the Zoo or shall I go and change my other point of view".
It means shall he stay in the Zoo (Zoo train station in Berlin) where drug addicts used to take a stay... and keep my straggle vs drugs or go away and get clean! Very touchy lines and script, but 1st of all the song is Perfect, even in 2020!
It’s 2024 and I’m still listening to this banger ️. no matter how old it gets, this song will always be legendary.

I'm an Arabic guy, when i was 15 i found an old cassette thrown on the side of the road, and this song was in the playlist, back then i couldn't understand the lyrics but i was caught in the feel of something extraordinary, and now after all these years i found it.
My eyes are full of tears from the nostalgia
How is it relevant that you’re Arabic
very cool!! ty for sharing that. Now this song is 40 years old today!!
It does?!, i didn't know that so ty, no wonder it's Amazing since the music peaked in the 80's
Amazing! Thank you for sharing that story 😊
I love the stories of how we Middle Eastern folk find music in the weirdest ways possible.
Hell yea! Long live the 80's!!!✊🏽
one of the best things about 50 years old,is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and Iam grateful !!!
one of the bad things is you're going to die rather soon and miss out on a lot
@@Levuiii but you have to admit that the 80‘s were such an beautiful thing.
If you compare it to nowadays music, it‘s just perfect and it is this way already to be honest.
Agree with you
I am realy jealous i am 20 years old and all i wanted is to be a 80s teen
And the women in the videos aren't all skanked out with tattoos and piercings.
If you're still here after 40 years you're a legend
Yes. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
but bro im only 25
😮😅😮😅
Always here bro
I am a legend, thanks to my dad for making me listen to this marvel when I was still a child, I became addicted
80-90s music had a different vibe ❤
This has to be one of the most underrated songs of the 1980s. I love this and I just think it's perfect.
It Was Big Hit In UK. 🙂
@@GameBoyyearsago . . . .but not in Japan.
@@roylennie8117 But Big In Germany Then Later Japan.
@@GameBoyyearsago My mum used to know all the band and said they were big down under.
@@GameBoyyearsago "It's easy when you're big in *Germany* too"
😂🇩🇪😂 😎
This song and this group are not well-known in Japan for some reason, but I'm a big fan. No matter when you listen to it, it's fresh no matter how many times you listen!
80s synth music is immortal forever.
Greetings from Big in Japan.🇯🇵
They lied to us!
Moshi Moshi : )
@@GilesMcRiker how 🤔 🤔❓
Oh! We all thought that they were 'Big in Japan'! 😂
They’re honestly not that well known in America either. I’m a child of the 80’s and first heard this a few years ago
the best music came from the 80s, loved it then (i was in my teens) had my 55th birthday on the 3rd of march 2024 still love the 80s , in the words of sinead , nothing compares x
The words of Prince also sung by Sinead.
I'm 46 years old and I still listen to this song. This song will be legendary forever❤❤❤❤❤
How does this song feel so pure and forlorn
Because good taste never gets old❤
50 and remember it like it was only released yesterday
Im 45 from Brazil!
I’m 59 and still listen to it
This song is about a heroin-addicted couple at Berlin Zoo-Station dreaming about what life could be - far far away - without their addicition.
Thats actually what "Big in Japan" originally meant (its the name of a british band): When you are a loser or an outcast you might be able to have a good life in a place far away.
This song makes me feel strongly hurt for the many addicted people all over the world who want to have a decent life but just can't break free :'(
Great song and rightfully an 80's classic.
Best comment , thanks
don't do drugs then, it is easy
Thanks
You will make it! I wish you that!
Thanks, first time I know this, best comment !
MASTERPIECE
Yes, fantastic song. Still beautiful after all these years
The best of 80,'s classic music ever❤❤❤❤❤
80s. The last decade where music wasn’t afraid of pure melody and emotion.
You mean the last decade where YOU could legally smile at a somebody under 20 😂
@@nelus7276 Still can bro, you'll just get locked up for it! lol
But had to grow up in the 80s to really 'get' it.
I appreciate all eras and genres, but the 80s is so varied. Bands were not afraid to mess with keys and chords as cookee says. ;-)
Thompson Twins, DrDr!
I agree 100%. I grew up in the 80's and the music had great melodies. I try to incorporate those 80s style melodies into my music, Dream Factory.
And have some sort of story!!!
@@braydonwen3852 No I don’t. The same thing applies in many other genres. I’m old enough to have lived through it.
80s music was rich, opulent, diverse, deep, stunningly creative, melodic, full of rhythm and.... fun!
And mysterious. And magical. And romantic. And dark.
This lyrics are incredibly PERFECT, still today.
The 80s are the biggest treasure of the electronic music. The fundamentals of the genre.
@Luiz Claudio Lemos Yes, IMHO every person has more or less delusions of being famous and successful somewhere out of the real life. The lyrics, the synths, everything of this song is beyond time. It will ever be actual. Adding the stunning voice and brutal beauty of Marian makes it one of a kind.
Так и есть) Привет из России)
Москва 24.04.2024.мне 53 года...слушаю..дискотека..молодость...восьмидесятые.....❤
I'm happy for the fact this song exists, I'm not happy by the fact we'll never have masterpieces like this again.
every single new song sounds like literal shit and most people can't even sing anymore so they need autotune. 80s music sounds like the future and modern music sounds like the stereotypical future if you know what I mean

This was real music these times back then.
80s music was amazing

Scandalously long ago for a modern song. A re release of the original with updated video might trick the kids it's brand new.

Anyone would love to go back to those years?
Music is the best time traveling system… so far.
The 80s was perfect. Musicians were able to express themselves through the music. I would never trade growing up in the 80s for anything.
Can you tell one nice memory? I wanna know what it was like
Not to mention you could express fascination and interest in other countries without someone digging through everything to find reasons to get offended.

80 ve 90lar böyle bir dönemdi.

I say the same thing all the time. So glad that I grew up in the 70's and 80's. Those were the best decades ever!!!!!!!!! The last truly great decade for music. So diverse and original.
I don't know how this band come to the idea of this song. 👏👏👏
I lived and studied in the city where this band comes from...the small, beautiful and clean city of Münster.💚
Six years in Münster and Münster is my home town in Germany.
Up to this day 10.06.2023, I am still playing this song loud and in a row in my Studio.
The sound is so great and timeless, it makes you just wanna dance.
The voice from Marian is crystal clear and energetic.
I mastered the lyrics and any day I am in Japan.
I will go to a park full of people, stand in the middle and will sing this song acapella as loud as possible.
I will be 'Big In Japan'😎
It's about his sordid life near the zoo.. drugs etcetera.. it's great
You can observe strong emotional connotations in this fantastic theme, all related to love and life itself.
80's personified!! Awesome tune!!

Fantastic: we got a copy paster here
Alphaville had amazing synth and vocals.
Most definitely this song was one of my favorites!!❤❤
This is the audio visual definition of Awesome❤
What can I say about Alphaville? Really love their sound got into their music whilst travelling around the world living out of a suitcase...and they still stimulate my senses 35 years later
Sandy, it's international music, pride is global
The sound of the 80's is unbeatable! Current music is flat, dull, the copy of something else. Simply daunting...
+Mara Iapoce I blame radio and tv stations for that, things have become sanitized, computer playlists, no DJs anymore, etc. No room for new music to come in. DJs used to go to clubs and concerts and brought the new music they liked back to the airwaves during their shows. I remember one DJ in Ottawa who decided one night to listen to the new Jethro Tull album, so he played the whole thing on air from start to finish. Others I saw at dance clubs when small unknown bands were visiting from other cities. Meanwhile Adam Curry and others on MTV used to bring in new bands, played music videos... It's sad how much things have changed.
+Mara Iapoce le wrong generation
Music today is about the artist NOT the music
Probably some of them are unpresentable, but Hammerfall, Nightwish, Ensiferum, Turisas, Equilibrium, Two Steps From Hell, Future World Music beat 80's IMO.
Mara Iapoce your right..
im on that 80's era.
Anyone 2024?

The first three seconds of this song are better than any of the garbage out today.
Perfectly said.
Agree it really sets a tone/mood...love music that can provoke this. That is the real mccoy. WHat id give to be a teenager again
Wait I am!! But theres this long haired old guy looking back in the mirror hanging on lol
I dunno why but I love this version of the song better than any other version. I just love how it sounds a little bit deeper and slower, it's amazing
Because it has been slowed down a bit
Ghoulin_ Its actually the original. What you talking about is the album version.
I agree, I like this slower version better ...
Ane Brun tho.... nothing beats her version
daniel cross was the original slowed down tho? I dont know if its because ive heard the other version so much, but this one just seems like hes singing so slower and im not sure if he sang it this slow or they slowed the track down?
I'm applying to the Japanese Studies & History course at Sheffield University this year. This'll be the track I'll listen to on the plane flight come my year abroad.
Except that the song has nothing to do with Japan...
@@Bubbles-od2tv what’s the title of the song?
@@willjohns9656 It's a metaphor ... It was a sarcastic saying in the music industry back then, that even if you're not big in your country, you can just say in you're big in Japan, and no one in your country would know.

cea mai bună muzică 80 90s 🎼🎼👍😀
This song should will be considered one of the best song of the history's new wave, isn't?
Yes,definitely😄
I wanna deplore any music critics, reporters all of whom dared to call Alphaville the 1 hit wonder band, this song was literally extraordinary, should have been promoted much harder than only Forever Young
Masterpiece ❤
Melody of this song is from heaven
This song has been huge in Greece literally ever since it came out. I was 5 or 6. And I've been dancing and singing to it all my life since then. To me it's perfection, it's what music should be like, I can't imagine anyone not liking it.
Mee to bro ,my dad's fav song . He used to play it in the car when i was 6 yr old . Now I'm 16 and I'm addicted to it 🥰
@@the_bimmer_boy6957 lol I'm 44, I've been listening to it for 40 years 😂
@@theodora_pilates yeah this song has a great vibe 🥰
TOTALMENTE DE ACUERDO ES MARAVILLOSA!!👍
Una de las mejores canciones de los 80' para mi sin duda....!!
Takes me right back, a classic that you’ll never tire of. As far as modern day artists are concerned, I think I’d give up now
Big in JAPAN!
Alright!
I grew up with that song, Alphaville, The Cure and Bowie made me what i am. Music can heal so many things..
+Laumerta I'm too old to make any decision, but yeah, living on Hawaii, knowing Japanese, I still like Alphaville and Bowie too...
nice words
Seeing this comment now that Bowie is dead makes me cry.
Crying is gift..
+Laumerta. same here - so many memories!
Luckly here in México, there is a discotech, that plays those kind of songs, the dj put it loud, and i feel the shiver in my spine when this song is playing in that place, and i star to sing it loud it up, long live 80´s!
¿De que ciudad eres amigo?
Donde?
El patrick miller y el UTA?
Ni idea.
En Zacatecas hay una
Where is it amigo? What's that places name??
This song was an instant classic all those years ago, and it still sounds as good as it did way back then.
Total respect to a band that have stood the test of time.
I salute you.
🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
It still is...my entire family lives for this song❤
The vocals are better than what singers these days are capable
He has over 4 octaves. If you listen some of their megamixes you can hear his full potential. The Prologue of Forever Young album - A Victory of Love - is sung in 3 octaves.
Recuerdo que cuando era niño esta canción clásica de los 80s la escuchaba por todos lados y yo me sentía como si viviera en Japón cantando y bailando como si fuese la primera vez, hoy vuelvo a escuchar esta canción y me llena de nostalgia recordar esos buenos tiempos de mi vida, prometo que cuando viaje a Japón le dedicaré al país por lo hermoso que es en Asia nos vemos y sayonara 😊🤗😉😘🤩🥰😍❤️💖💘💎💎💎💯💯💯🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵👘👘👘
I absolutely love 80s music and I don’t understand how this song got passed me. It’s so good. I miss the good ol days.
Woooow...took me back to 80's...I'm 53 now..
