"Wake Up" was used for a couple of commercials. One was for Seiko while the other was a much more recent venture for Wonda Canned Coffee. I was in Japan to see that ad, and watching it brought about a whole lot of nostalgic feelings....and a need to part with my 100 yen for that vending machine.
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.
