"'Japanese Lovesong'" is the second single from the Dutch group Ten Sharp, released in June 1985. The song was written by the band and produced by Michiel Hoogenboezem. The single made it into the Dutch Top 40, reaching number 30. The song combines a reggae-feel with Eastern vocal lines and synth-sounds. In the extended version of the song there is a long instrumental part with a heavy bass driven hook. Samples of the falsetto choir also appear.

The B-side "Goin' On" is a piano ballad with vocals and piano only.
