Like how the Alfee also had an alter ego "Beat Boys". <br /><br />It's just that musically, I didn't think "ちょっと Give me a break!" seem that much different in style from other Checkers songs from that era i.e. 1987-1988.yunghttps://yungandyu.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-19652788298919429852020-04-19T09:29:03.179-04:002020-04-19T09:29:03.179-04:00Morning, yung.

Maybe it was kinda like how Genesis changed from their prog rock days in the 70s to their pop status in the 1980s.:)J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-89335951474963845412020-04-19T04:11:52.364-04:002020-04-19T04:11:52.364-04:00The Cute Beat Club Band thing was quite a mystery ...The Cute Beat Club Band thing was quite a mystery to me. In the early 90s, I bought the CBCB live CD "NOT CHECKERS 円高差益還元ライブ", and apart from "7つの海の地球儀" and "ちょっとGive me a break!", the others were all Checkers' songs. <br /><br />From the 'B-side' compilation "The Other Side", I discovered another CBCB track "Next Generation", which I really like. Turns out that there was both a Japanese and English version of the song. It was a completely different style from Checkers.yunghttps://yungandyu.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
