I really was into Japan in the early 1980's.  R.I.P. Mick!

R.I.P. Mick. I have some of his work with Japan, Rain Tree Crow, and his solo work. Always enjoyed his playing.

Bought the first LP when it came out...

all the more chilling when it's around your own age...

RIP Mick...

Damn that f*cking disease...

Saw Mick with Terry Bozzio and David Torn years ago at the Hot House in Chicago. Real innovator.
