Best "Big in Japan" ?
Brought out to the public in 1984, but demos go back another six years, according to the Dreamscapes box set.
Happy 30th anniversary! But, there are so many different demos, remixes and performances of the song, and I'm sure everyone has a favorite in one of them, at least. Which rendition of BiJ do you like best? I would have put this in Polls, but there are just so many of them... For me, I think the live version on DS4 is by far the best! It just seems to have more power behind it, more emphasis, more..."MEAT," as my brother would say. What say you? Hello, my friend... |

I know that sounds boring, but I prefer the "normal" single version. [sing]

There are several good versions and I think I prefer the album version the most. How about a little list?
1. Album Version 2. 7" Version 3. Roland Spremberg Mix (I just love the Roland Spremberg sound which can also be found on the a-ha maserpiece song 'Summer Moved On') 4. Live On Nokia Night Of The Proms 5. Stark Naked Version |

The best Vision from BiJ is for me the aktually Live Vision from the concerts!
I think, the single Vision is really boring, but the album vision is a little bit fast ... exactly right for me |
