Lead singer Dave Fenton said: "Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect to." It was inspired by Fenton's relationship problems.

So, no. Unless he was fibbing. Which is possible.

Teenage angst, I think that's code

Teenage wangst.

turning Japanese
oh yes I'm turning Japanese
oh yes I think so

Urban dictionary backs me up, more or less

I always thought it was about the look you make when you.... you know.... your 'O' face.... Teenage angst would make more sense.

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all round my cell
I want the doctor to take a picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning 'round

Teenage angst ?

Yes phrase used for it but urban myth about the song.

You'll be telling us that Hong Kong Garden isn't just about a chinese take away next.
