Good to hear that you've been...Hello, Michael.<br /><br />Good to hear that you've been enjoying Yoko Oginome. She really stood out due to her delivery and some of her angular dance moves. Of course, I think the one song that most folks will associate her with is "Dancing Hero". Plus her work last year with that dynamic high school dance club really brought back those memories.<br /><br />Keep on reading!J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-14368994327862908112018-01-19T05:08:48.132-05:002018-01-19T05:08:48.132-05:00Ever since I found this blog (And I have emailed t...Ever since I found this blog (And I have emailed the owner about it), I am jumping from one article to another depending on the next singer I discovered, but it was really Oginome that... I don't know. Anyone who discovered her for the first time in 2017 will most likely have discovered her because of Dancing Hero, such as I. Billboard called her a veteran singer with a 30-year old song that suddenly became popular again. You can't help but get intrigued with that kind of remark. And I did. Me and my girlfriend love Kyary Pamyu Pamyu... and how shocked I was to see Yoko's costumes, especially in the music video of Dancing Hero<br /><br />Anyway it was Golden Best that I got (through unceremonious means, please don't judge me) because of this article. And really thankful it's the one I chose to check out because as you say, it covers a retrospective of her career. Every 2 weeks or so I have a new favorite from this collection. <br /><br />Thankfully, Japan Spotify has majority of Yoko Oginome's songs and albums ( I made a new account to check since I'm not from JP), including Dear Pop Singer.. I don't know but I was really curious with how she sings her old songs. And I think she did well. There was this one video where she sings with what look likes a younger idol group (2 girls and some backup), and she sings and dances well, the 2 girls were like statues. It was the video that earned her my admiration. I certainly want to make sure that when I reach that age, I hope I can dance and be as energetic as her in that age.<br /><br />So yeah, thanks for this article and thanks to Golden Best. Thankfully Dear Pop Singer is a relatively new effort and it's going to be easy for me to import it. The one I'm saving up is Super Groover, but man it's super expensive!! Hahaha.

A summery tune and Yoko in rehearsal. It's from the same album as Flamingo in Paradise.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpVfJeFjkhEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-81079452563212205342013-06-16T22:24:58.681-04:002013-06-16T22:24:58.681-04:00Great Post I'm a big fan of Oginome from Bangk...Great Post I'm a big fan of Oginome from Bangkok Thailand , back in the day. I'm living in San Francisco,now . I still listen to Her CD a lot She was great in "Verge of love" (one of the best English speaking from Japanese artist in my opinion )Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383993723718762228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-87789565155068967262013-02-22T12:06:34.597-05:002013-02-22T12:06:34.597-05:00Hi JTM,

But I enjoy some of her eurobeat/dance songs, like "Dancing Hero (Eat You Up)", "Flamingo in Paradise", "Palmtree Candle" and "Jungle Dance Version II". But my personal favorite is "VERGE OF LOVE". It's such a beautiful and groovy romantic piece.<br /><br />And thanks for the great article. It made me revisit some of her hits on YouTube. And I might watch her live DVD later too.Marcos V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09531398685057099974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-42400537273850595682013-02-21T14:02:49.185-05:002013-02-21T14:02:49.185-05:00I'll agree with nikala...this is a very compre...I'll agree with nikala...this is a very comprehensive post on the various BEST albums that Oginome has released over the years.<br /><br />Oginome with that distinctive angular look and her dancing style really made her stand out. Kudos to her choreographer, especially on "Roppongi Junjoha". For me, I think she was the first aidoru who could actually bust a move on stage. But going to her songs, I think pop music is frequently about the hook, and "Roppongi Junjoha", "Dancing Hero" and "Dance Beat wa Yoake Made" have some of the more memorable hooks. I mean, the intro to "Dancing Hero" is one of the most recognized for fans of 80s Japanese popular music.<br /><br />I have some of the discs that you have mentioned, JTM, so I may be brushing off a few myself.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-44906744240907798852013-02-21T01:41:12.350-05:002013-02-21T01:41:12.350-05:00Thank you, JTM, for this fantastic post on Yoko Og...Thank you, JTM, for this fantastic post on Yoko Oginome. Having videos with these songs really helped with bringing out the charisma in her performance. "Stranger Tonight" and "Roppongi Junjouha" are pretty addicting. I'm gonna have to look this compilation up on the net to dust off my memory of the rest of the songs. It's been a while since I've listened to them.<br /><br />Thanks again.nikalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370403001114836904noreply@blogger.com
