Previous Previous post: hi steve, sorry to bother you again but i had another question. do you have any music recommendations or anyone in particular you’ve been listening to lately? thanks, katie

Next Next post: hello Steve. I’ve always wanted to ask you about your drums/perc setup for Words with the Shaman as those are among the strangest and most evocative drum sounds and patterns I’ve heard. would you care to recount what materials you used for drums, hihat, sticks etc. as they sound nothing like a conventional kit? any particular memory from composing/recording that suite? I hope you appreciate asking this. thanks for everything so far and best for the future. Max

Dear Steve, My name is Hans and am 54 years old and a fan of your music since the 1st Japan single. I had only once the opportunity to see you and David live in Amsterdam in 2007. It was a Great show then. Ever since then David did not Tour anymore. Can you explain why? And is there a chance you and David will ever perform live in the future? Thanks in advance for your answer. Kind Regards and Take care Hans October 9, 2019
Hello, I’m an 18 year old student from Sweden and i’ve been listening to JAPAN and various projects by all the members of JAPAN since february this year, like Dolphin Brothers and so forth. I have been incredibly inspired especially by JAPAN. Gentlemen and Tin Drum are two incredible albums i have to say. What was it like in the studio when you were recording the albums? How was the mood and such? October 4, 2019
Hi Steve. After a few years break, from drumming/percussion, I have recently purchased a Roland Handsonic HPD-20 and wondered if you have ever used any of the Handsonic devices in the past or present. October 4, 2019
Hi Steve! A question for you, Sir: Japan worked with Giorgio Moroder at a vital point of the band’s career (ie, around the time the band changed styles in both image and sonic presentation/arrangement). What short-term or long-term effect did Japan experience from working with Moroder? Thanks kindly! March 10, 2019
Dear Steve, Whenever I listen to Stone to Flesh (original 1995 release) I wonder which one(s) of the pictures in the booklet is yours. You are credited alongside Bill Smith Studio for photography. Could you perhaps shed some light on this? Many thanks and best wishes. A. February 22, 2019
