The band broke up after a last gig at Eric’s on 26 August 1978. During their time, Big in Japan recorded four songs which were included on the From Y to Z and Never Again EP, released after their split to pay off their debts. The unintentional consequence of the EP’s release was the formation of Zoo Records , which went on to release early material by Echo & the Bunnymen and the Teardrop Explodes, amongst others. They also recorded a Peel session on 12 February 1979 with a line-up of Casey, Broudie, Johnson, and Budgie; the session was broadcast on 6 March 1979. Balfe and Drummond then formed the short-lived Lori and the Chameleons .
