I didn't know about the Tom Waits "Big In Japan" - Mule Variations - 1999.
Before there was VaporWave there was the New Wave. I know this song inside out but didn't know there was a video much less an extended version...
Alphaville "Big In Japan (Official Music Video)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl6u2NASUzU
I didn't know he looked so creepy. Blackface is bad, but what about Asian's doing whiteface? Or white girls doing Asian whiteface?
Ironically this New Wave music took it's name from the New Wave cinema a couple decades earlier - just like the band.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurism_(disambiguation) also a weird term spanning decades.
