![]() ![]() A lot of times they borrowed, and sometimes stole ideas from the western pop music and it was a lot of fun to listen to them and admire their craft. They would change their style for each singer and his/her genre. These pros handled everything from idol pop to enka. The majority of their songs were written by a handful of songwriters. These "singers" released 4 singles a year and we would anticipate each release with much excitement. Well, I was one of those kids who ate it all up! In my case, though, I was more into the craftsmanship of the songwriters/arrangers than the singers (if you could call them that). You also mention the conveyer-belt pop idol singers. Most notably, no matter how sophisticated, and in some of his songs, experimental he got in his material, he kept it all in the Kayokyoku idiom. He had an air of "Swagger" that was rare in the mainstream Kayokyoku. I still listen to many of his songs from back then. Maybe bumping this up will get some activity.Īhhhh It's so good to know someone appreciates the music from that era (and in your case, Pachipro, was actually there to experience it first hand). Hopefully there are some fans here but seeing that no one else has responded since the first posting two years ago, I'm not hopeful. The Enka/Kayou-kyoku guys have it even worse as their foreign fans are even smaller and older and again its only for certain kashuu like Misora Hibari, Mori Masako, Teresa Teng, Itsuki Hiroshi etc. I definitely want to talk with others about 70s and 80s idols but unfortunately the people online that I've met have only very specific likes (Pink Lady, Onyanko Club, Nakamori Akina, Matsuda Seiko) but don't really like any of the other artists of the period especially New Music/non-idols like Anri, Anzenchitai, Kome Kome Club, Boowy, Kikawa Koji, Takeuchi Maria or Tanimura Shinji. That's one reason why that particular thread died is that aside from the novelty of listening to these songs, no one really cared about the artists or their history and background. ![]() I for one am a kid from the 80s so I remember listening to these songs as a young teen and so there's some nostalgic sentimentality for me when listening to artists like Oginome Yoko, Saito Yuki, Wink, Kikuchi Momoko and Nakayama Miho etc. Molly Ringwald Elevates the ’80s Mullet on the CFDA Red Carpet By Calin Van Paris The latest fashion news, beauty coverage, celebrity style, fashion week updates, culture reviews, and videos on. I think it's rare that you'll encounter guys like yourself, Kosuke_Asami, Higemania and others who are younger guys but fans of the older music. Most JPop fans now are rather young and only recently got into JPop within the last 10+ years and few if any were even born at around the time these songs were popular. I think fans like us are in the minority. Sad that the 70s/80s thread died there but it wasn't all that surprising. Hey どいんきぃず - Always enjoyed your posts over at JPopMusic. ![]()
