Tin Drum is the fifth and final studio album by English band Japan, released in November 1981 by record label Virgin. It peaked at No. 12 on the UK charts, and featured the top 5 single "Ghosts. It has received acclaim as the band's best work. Tin Drum continued the band's now-established mix of electronic elements with traditional instrumentation, but leans far more towards Far Eastern and Orientialist influences than any of their previous albums
Tin Drum is the fifth and final studio album by British new wave band Japan. It is their most commercially successful studio album, peaking at on the UK albums chart. Following the departure of guitarist Rob Dean, Japan began to let more East Asian–particularly Chinese–influences seep into their music, and into Sylvian’s lyrics as well. The band started experimenting with all sorts of different Chinese-influenced synth and percussion sounds, as keyboardist Richard Barbieri recalled in 1994 to Sound on Sound: We took such care over each individual sound that we got quite paranoid about all.

There are no trashy glam flourishes, no awkward Bryan Ferry posturing. This is an album with its own voice; with every member confident in their role, and not a sound out of place. With communist China as a loose concept, the album is crammed with polyrhythmic percussion (excellently performed by Steve Jansen) and traditional oriental instruments that invoke influences without falling into the trap of becoming a cheap pastiche. Xylophones and Mick Karn's fretless bass give it all an organic, off-kilter feel, yet Richard Barbieri's electronics twist an icy knife into the arrangements.
