Big in Japan were a short-lived punk rock band formed in Liverpool in 1977. Its members are better known for their later successes than for their time in the band as they went on to find fame with acts such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo & the Bunnymen, the Teardrop Explodes, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the KLF, and the Lightning Seeds, leading the Liverpool Echo to describe the band as "a supergroup with a difference—its members only became super after they left".
