I have to admit, I hadn't heard of Ane Brun, who hails from Norway, until I tried to find out who sang the song on the Sky HD TV ad, and found it was her.
Not sure if "Big in Japan" has been released in Ireland/UK ( or even the US? ) but it's getting a load of airplay here in Ireland at the moment. I knew the song sounded familiar when I first heard it, but only when the chorus kicked in did I recognize it as another Cyndi Lauper song ( also covered by Alphaville ).
It's an amazing version of the song, if you can imagine Norah Jones singing with a Jeff Buckley guitar backing, you get the idea.
It's a lovely, soulful version of what was a pretty raucous pop song, as I recall it. I've worked out the chords and lyrics for the song, which you can find below. Just guessing, but I would imagine you just speed it up if you want to play the Cyndi Lauper / Alphaville version. Check it out at this link:
