I was actually going to list the albums of 1978, but I think this list was more illuminating about who was on top for that year.
1. Pink Lady UFO
2. Pink Lady Southpaw
3. Pink Lady Monster
4. Takao Horiuchi Kimi no Hitomi 10000 Volts
5. The Candies Hohoemi Gaeshi
6. Pink Lady Toumei Ningen
7. Masaaki Hirao Canada kara no Tegami
Yoko Hatanaka
8. Circus Mr. Summertime
9. Eikichi Yazawa Jikan yo Tomare
10. Miyuki Nakajima Wakare Uta
I think Pink Lady is gonna have to be talked about soon.
I've been a fan of Japanese popular music for 40 years, and have managed to collect a lot of material during that time. So I decided I wanted to talk about Showa Era music with like-minded fans. My particular era is the 70s and 80s (thus the "kayo kyoku"). The plus part includes a number of songs and artists from the last 30 years and also the early kayo. So, let's talk about New Music, aidoru, City Pop and enka.
