Oricon Top 10 Singles of 1983

1. Eisaku Okawa         Sazanka no Yado
2. Takashi Hosokawa   Yagiri no Watashi
3. Warabe                 Medaka no Kyoudai
4. Hiroko Yakushimaru Tantei Monogatari
5. Akio Kayama          Hisame
6. Anri                      Cat's Eye
7. Seiko Matsuda        Glass no Ringo
8. Akina Nakamori       Second Love
9. Irene Cara             Oh, What A Feeling
10. Rats & Star          Me Gumi no Hito

Notable list for that year since the top 2 and the 5th song were enka tunes. I don't think there has been even a single enka tune in a yearly Top 10 list for several years. And yep, that is indeed, the theme from "Flashdance"in at No. 9....the torn sweatshirt was also a fashion statement for a while in Japan, too.
