"Lovers in Japan" is a song by British rock band Coldplay. It was written by all members of the band for their fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. The song is built around an introductory tack piano sound, then followed by chiming guitars and soaring choruses, supported by the pianos and rhythms that accompany the song's lyrics. The album version of "Lovers in Japan" shares the track with the song "Reign of Love".
It was released as a promotional single on 3 November 2008 and peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.[1] The song also charted at number 19 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart. "Lovers in Japan" was well received by music critics, who praised the track's general sound. Although the track is seen as Viva's overall third single, the version sent to radios and used in the music video is the Osaka Sun Mix, which is featured on the Prospekt's March EP.
