Really banner year for The Checkers and Akina Nakamori. I think pretty much all of them were favourites at karaoke. It's a list for the teenyboppers but I'm also glad that Akiko Kobayashi and Anzen Chitai were able to get in as well. The latter band also had quite a few songs lower down on the Oricon list as well. And nice to see the Queen Aidoru herself sneak in the back door, so to speak.
