This song originally was written to be about Vince Clarke's Japanese girlfriend of the time. The lyrics, roughly so, were "Japanese love could seem alien" - Presumably due to the cultural differences. The lyrics were changed, possibly to keep from offending people with its insightful (and innocent in intent) comments.
