[C#] When the [C#m] room is [F#m] quiet, [C#m] the daylight [D] almost gone,
[G#m] It [B] seems there's [F#m] something [C#] I should [C#m] know.
[F#m]
[C#m] Well, I ought to [F#m] leave, but [C#m] the rain, it [D] never stops,
[D#m] And I've [B] no particular [F#m]
place [C#m] to go.
[F#m] Just
[C#m] [B]
[E] when I think I'm winning, when I've broken [Em] every door,
[F#m] The ghosts of my life [G] blow wilder [Em] than [F#m] before.
[E] Just when I thought [Bm] I could not be stopped,
[Am] When my chance came to [Bm] be king,
The ghosts [F#m] of my life blow [G] wilder than [D] the [C#m] wind.
[C#] [F#m]
[C#m] Well, I'm feeling [F#m] nervous, [C#m] now I find myself [D] alone,
[G#m] The simple [F#m] life's no longer [C#m] there.
[F#m]
[C#m] Once I was so [F#m] sure, [C#m] now the doubt [D] inside my mind
[F#m] Comes and goes but leads [C#m] [F#m]
nowhere.
[C#m] [B]

That was David Filbren's solo.
And earlier today, Mike Andrews had a [G] chat with him about the future of Japan.
No, we're [Fm] splitting up at the end of [Em] January,
after we've finished [D] the live album and video [G] that we're doing.
Has that been a difficult decision to take?
Because it seems that Japan have fought so hard to get to where they are now,
which is one of the biggest bands in the country, and to call it a day now.
It's not a difficult decision for that [E] reason.
It's a difficult decision because it wasn't just a band, it was a way of life.
[G] We spent so much time together, being together, being very close as friends and so on.
It's drifting apart very slowly.
This whole year has been like drifting apart.
And it's a very natural decision to make now at this time.
[Em] That's why it took so long to [F] make it.
Because we were just [B] waiting to see if it was just going to split,
or we were going to come back together [G] again and feel good about being together.
And it's good, the tour has been good,
but we still feel that it's going to be more interesting working [D#] on solo [G] projects.
And also because we have different ideas [D] from each other now.
[E] And I don't think it would [G] work so well in the studio together.
Japan was formed in the late 70s amidst the punk explosion.
And in those days you were very different to all the other bands around.
Was it hard to maintain your dedication?
No, I've always been really stubborn and had like [F] a naive belief in everything [G] I've done.
I believe in what I do very, very strongly.
And I'm very, very critical of myself anyway.
So whatever anybody else says about me,
it doesn't affect me as much as what I have to think about myself.
And at what stage were Japan the band actually influenced by Japanese culture?
The first visit influenced us.
The first visit to Japan influenced us.
It took us a long time to actually bring it into the music.
But in 79 I think it was when we first went there.
I mean we were really taken by the place.
[E] And I came back to London [B] and read a lot about the culture and so [G] on.
And went back a few more times.
And then slowly got an idea about the music
because I was getting interested in the culture of Japan.
And what is it in particular about Japanese music that does appeal to you?
Japanese music in particular?
I think it's the space, the emptiness of it.
How important the spaces are, as important as the music itself.
And that's something we try to incorporate on Tin Drum.
And so for your first solo project, Apre Japan,
do you have something particular in mind?
[Em] It's very difficult to talk about it.
I mean I've only just got the ideas together to do it.
I haven't [G] found musicians I want to work with yet.
Although Steve will be involved in it with me.
It's very difficult.
I just want it to be lyrically very, very strong.
I want to concentrate on the lyrics more than anything else.
David, thanks very much for coming and talking to us.
Thank you.
