Well...hey, Hosono gave it the good ol' college try there. I knew that he had been composing techno-like tunes for some of the other big stars such as Seiko Matsuda and Yoko Oginome, so I gather that Starbow Mk. 1 was the ultimate expression of that fusion between aidoru and technopop. Listening to Mk. 2 was more back to what I was used to in the early to mid 80s.<br /><br />Keep 'em coming, jari!J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-60622260381123298832013-03-06T09:01:24.058-05:002013-03-06T09:01:24.058-05:00Welcome aboard, Jari!

I like your enthusiastic writing style. :)<br /><br />Never heard of Starbow before, so that first video of them performing in space suits was indeed a revelation. I think out of all the idols attempting techno in the 80's, these girls were the oddest. Sure, the feminine types like Narumi Yasuda and Kilala & Ulala were probably more successful, but I'm guessing that Hosono and Matsumoto just took a risk to add something different to the mix. I don't read manga, but this group looks like characters from some space-themed series that came to life. The song wasn't bad either. *shrug*<br /><br />I'm not sure if I "get" Starbow either, but I did watch that performance a few times for the entertainment factor.nikalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370403001114836904noreply@blogger.com
