It seems like they were inspired in Savage`s Tonight album, "Big In Japan" sounds like the song "A Love Again". :)
Manemanu
Probably the other way around since Big in japan was released earlier than A love again

One of the best records ever made. All tracks are really good, though Forever Young, The Jet-Set and Sounds Like A Melody are a bit better than the others. If you enjoy synth-pop, you'll love this record.

i really like the track summer in berlin it has a drifty flow to it.and piano on it goes along well before big in japan stomps in.i would say this album is a must for all electro pop fans.
