Adolescent Sex – Japan

Adolescent Sex – Japan

“Adolescent Sex” is the debut album by the British new wave band Japan, released in 1978. The album has a striking and controversial title, but it actually refers to the sexual discovery of adolescents.

The album has a unique and quirky mix of new wave, punk and glam rock elements. The music is energetic and exuberant, with catchy choruses and strong guitar and keyboard riffs. The lyrics are sometimes provocative and introspective, dealing with themes such as sexual desires, loneliness and the fear of getting older.

Although “Adolescent Sex” didn’t have much commercial success at first, it later became recognized as an influential album in the new wave and post-punk movements. The album is often considered a milestone in Japan’s career, laying the foundation for their later experimental and artistic albums.
