I dig it a lot. Mari Hamada surely is a name to look for. Her recent work is very nice too.<br /><br />I've given Show-Ya a try, but I didn't like so much. Megumi Hayakawa, on the other hand, I didn't know about. I'm listening to some of her songs on YouTube and she kind of sounds like Mari Hamada in certain ways. It was a great tip of yours. Thanks a lot.Marcos V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09531398685057099974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-91002140255344995782013-09-28T09:00:44.045-04:002013-09-28T09:00:44.045-04:00The bass line during the interlude sounded even mo...The bass line during the interlude sounded even more awesome. Listening to this song brings back the fond memories of the days when I was looking for good hard rock artists to listen to. Mari Hamada is definitely one of the standouts from the genre. Always liked her powerful presence and voice. <br /><br />About rock artists, have you ever given Show-Ya (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f74TWsF8fc) and Megumi Hayakawa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6guNmaA4vc) a try? They all started out in mid-80's like Hamada and followed a similar-ish music path over the years. nikalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370403001114836904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-3181109747697733372013-09-26T22:20:15.138-04:002013-09-26T22:20:15.138-04:00Thanks for the comment, J-Canuck.
I'm still d...Thanks for the comment, J-Canuck.<br /><br />I'm still discovering Mari Hamada, but I already have a dozen of songs that I'm hooked up. I'll probably write a couple more posts about her soon.<br /><br />About late 80s/early 90s pop-rock, I was trying to like some bands like Pink Sapphire and Velver Paw, but with no significant effect. I really don't care for rock. But I liked Mari Hamada, which is a plus. I also like some poppier Princess Princess songs, like "Dakara Honey", for example.<br /><br />Japan surely experienced a rock band boom in the late 80s/early 90s, especially in the girl bands territory. I think we can thank the success of Princess Princess for that (in the good and in the bad way).Marcos V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09531398685057099974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-53800043070473999732013-09-26T15:27:44.121-04:002013-09-26T15:27:44.121-04:00Hi, Marcos, and thanks for putting up the article ...Hi, Marcos, and thanks for putting up the article on Mari Hamada. I had seen her on the music store shelves all these years but never got around to listening to any of her stuff which is why I never got to post up anything by her on the blog. <br /><br />Listening to "Emotion in Motion" brought back memories of some of the pop-rock that was going on both sides of the Pacific. Over in Japan, I think I could imagine singers like Miho Morikawa and Kahoru Kohiruimaki being her contemporaries. Of course, being a sucker for a good bass and horn section, I enjoyed this song thoroughly.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.com
