this is a really beautiful song ;A; simply constructed songs like this don't usually appeal to me but I've found myself absolutely in love with this one. Japan is a fucking great band and very underrated; I just wish I'd heard of them sooner than I did.
and hey, Duran Duran is definately not lame! Just far more commercially successful because they took advantage of music videos and their own good looks, which automatically makes them less okay to like and less brilliant as musicians, am i rite? ;B if it weren't for them I wouldn't have even discovered Japan or gotten into new wave in the first place. Also, they definately did copy Japan on their first album and they definately did admit to them being one of their greatest influences.
and hey, Le Bon's got a bit of an ego for sure, but if you took the time to read/listen to his lyrics past the big hit songs that everyone knows you'd find that they've got a lot of the same sort of depth and feeling that Sylvian's lyrics have got, his writing style's just different (and man does he leave you wondering what the hell he's talking about sometimes).
