One thing about 80s aidoru Masahiko Kondo(近藤真彦)is that I could never imagine the fellow singing or dancing anything half-assed. He goes down to town as fast and as hard as any of those high-flying motorcycles that fans imagine him riding in his songs. Even Marvel's Ghost Rider would probably go "Whoa! Steady on there.".
Once again, he goes (adorable) teen punk with his "Midnight Station", Matchy's 9th single released in January 1983. In the song penned by the perennial songwriting duo of Takashi Matsumoto and Kyohei Tsutsumi(松本隆・筒美京平), he's living life large, my friend, and considering how much he yells her name, perhaps the alternate title could have been "Bonnie".
The song hit No. 1 on Oricon and became the 23rd-ranked single of 1983, and won a Gold Prize at the Japan Record Awards.
