Princess Princess -- Oh Yeah!

Along with the big bonanza of a hit in "Diamonds" back in 1989, Princess Princess scored another home run the following year with a driving pop/rock song that I first saw on a Sony commercial for those quaint little things called audio tape cassettes. Titled "Oh Yeah!", this was about a year before Kazumasa Oda's（小田和正） ballad "Oh Yeah!" came out, and is obviously a wholly different animal.

Written by guitarist Kanako Nakayama（中山加奈子） and composed by lead vocal Kaori Okui（奥居香）, those first guitar blasts make "Oh Yeah!" instantly recognizable for all those teens and twenties in the early part of the 90s, and it's always nice with that added horn section. The song hit the No. 1 spot on Oricon and then became the 5th-ranked song of the year after its release in April 1990 as Princess Princess' 9th single. Along with "Diamonds" and "Sekai de Ichiban Atsui Natsu"（世界でいちばん熱い夏）as the band's 7th and 8th singles respectively, the turn of the decade was a huge one for them.

You can take a look at the SONY commercial starring Princess Princess.
