Just a quick post to introduce myself.
I've been a fan since "Quiet Life" and/or "Tin Drum" (I can't remember which...I didn't carve it into a tree or the like).
I have to say that I'm not a massive fan of Japan (other than "Tin Drum"), but love the stuff by individual members and their various groupings (Rain Tree Crow, Sylvian, Sylvian/Jansen, Jansen, Jansen/Barbieri. Jansen/Barbieri/Karn, Karn, Jansen/Nolan Sisters etcetera) since the split.
I saw DS in September 2007 and was underwhelmed, to say the least - I think I said at the time that I left the gig whistling the stage lighting. However, with hindsight, I think enjoyed it more than I thought I did in the days and weeks immediately afterwards...if that makes sense.
Other than the Sylvian clan, my musical taste is fairly wide, although I've been buying/listening to a stack of ambient/electronic stuff of late - Stars Of The Lid (and THEIR offshoots), Hammock, Tim Hecker, Max Richter et al.
I also produce my own music and have recently finished my second album project with my (two-man) band Shards Of Reason.
I have blue-grey eyes and my star sign is Fernicu-Bolack The Frog.
