Tin Drum is the fifth and final studio album produced by the British band Japan. Released in the U.K. in late-November 1981, the album continued their now developed use of electronic elements coupled with traditional instrumentation, but leans far more towards far-eastern influences than any of their previous albums. Guitarist Rob Dean had left the band by this point, with Sylvian taking on his duties which had become surplus to requirements in terms of their musical direction. Four of the album's eight tracks were released as singles in the UK ("The Art of Parties", "Cantonese Boy", "Visions of China" and "Ghosts"), whilst a live version of "Canton" was issued as a single to promote the Oil on Canvas live album in 1983. Of these, the most commercially successful was "Ghosts", a minimalist, drum-free song which reached No.5 in the UK. "Visions of China" and "Cantonese Boy" also made the UK Top 40. The album itself peaked at #12 in the UK, and was certified "Gold" by the BPI in 1982. In 2000 David Sylvian re-recorded "Ghosts" using the original Japan backing track and included it on his compilation Everything and Nothing.
