A...We have the same age. I was 16 at the time too.<br /><br />And I'd say that feeling nostalgic at 16 is kinda normal, because I felt this way a lot of times back then, especially with "EQUAL Romance" and some other songs that I used to listen at the time.<br /><br />Although my first contact with classic idols was with "EQUAL Romance" too, it wasn't the start of my full interest about them. This came with Chisato Moritaka some years later.Marcos V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09531398685057099974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-29024054661371158802013-03-10T19:41:44.748-04:002013-03-10T19:41:44.748-04:00This song is where my interest in classic idols st...This song is where my interest in classic idols started. Like you, I also first heard it in 2006. I remember being hooked on its instrumental intro and the girls' bright voices. I'm not sure if feeling nostalgic at 16 is normal, but that's what this song did to me then.nikalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370403001114836904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-86076664702761287142013-03-10T18:19:50.396-04:002013-03-10T18:19:50.396-04:00Now when I remember carefully, the case was even m...Now when I remember carefully, the case was even more complicated! <br /><br />Belgium 1996: Lisa del Bo: Liefde is een Kaartspel (Love is a game of cards), composers John Terra, Sirak Brogden.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8kBftYXzJA<br /><br />Sweden 2001: Friends: Listen To Your Heartbeat, composer Thomas G:sson.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIV9wirsn8o (Same chorus!)<br /><br />Digi Charat Nyo 2003: Priere: Heartbeat, composer Thomas G:sson.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7P3R_9fIwI <br /><br />Belgians accused that Swedish entry was plagiarised from them.

"Hanbun Fushigi" is ...Hi, jari lehtinen.<br /><br />"Hanbun Fushigi" is a nice song too. But besides "EQUAL Romance", I enjoy "Yokohama Boy Style".<br /><br />I know what you're talking when you say "congratulation ball". They were quite common on "The Best Ten" too. I've seen a lot of those when Akina Nakamori achieved No. 1 on the show.<br /><br />It's a pity when videos are deleted from YouTube. That's why I always download the ones I really care (mostly TV performances). A lot of rarities have been deleted, unfortunately.<br /><br />Oh yeah. Im aware that the song was used in Digi Charat Nyo. The cover is alright, but it lacks the late 80s feel in the arrangements.<br /><br />I don't know about the "Belgian Eurovisian tune" you mentioned. Do you remember the name os the song? I'm always very interested in the European pop/dance scene, as Japan takes a lot from them too.Marcos V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09531398685057099974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-78318983662914931922013-03-10T10:20:36.710-04:002013-03-10T10:20:36.710-04:00That's great.

When their 2nd single Hanbun Fushigi was released, the first tv performance took place in that show. 4th position on Oricon was celebrated in the show by opening a congratulation ball. (There must be a name for that object, but I haven't learned it yet! J-Canuck should know...?). <br /><br />Same old: Sadly, most of ParaGoGo videos have been deleted from Tube. <br /><br />Equal Romance has proved to be an anime classic. It was used again 15 years later when Priere recorded it for Digi Charat Nyo. As the other song that Japanese animation used a Belgian Eurovision tune composed by a Swedish composer - and that's roughly the most far-fetched scenario one can imagine.

One of them (she's also an anime fan) was very proud in saying that she used to sing to it all the time.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.com
