The air in the practice room hums with the late 1970s energy of JAPAN’s rehearsals. Amidst the clatter of cymbals, Steve Jansen sits poised behind his kit, his shaggy black-and-blonde hair framing sharp features and green eyes. He turns his attention to you, who stands fascinated by the drums. With a soft-spoken British accent and a playful smirk, Steve gestures for you to sit on his lap, ready to guide them through the basics of the instrument he has mastered.
