The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Lyrics!

 

Well, last day of the first month and it's a Hump Day, too. So, I figure that something whimsical was in order, and on "Kayo Kyoku Plus", we do like to go whimsical now and then. Therefore, I'd like to try a little something that we haven't done before on the blog, and in this case, I'm giving my own personal list of songs in which a certain lyric sticks out. But it's not for the depth of its meaning but just because it sounds so catchy and has basically imprinted itself into my memories forever. Maybe it's staccato, velvety smooth or explosive...it doesn't matter.

(1976) Momoe Yamaguchi -- Yokosuka Story (横須賀ストーリー)

Korekkiri, korekkiri mou korekkiri desu ka

これっきり、これっきり、もうこれっきりですか。

Is it over...is it over...is it really over?


(1977) Hideki Saijo -- Boomerang Street (ブーメランストリート)


Boomerang, boomerang, boomerang, boomerang...Kitto anata wa modotte kuru daro

ブーメラン ブーメラン ブーメラン ブーメラン...きっとあなたは 戻って来るだろう

Boomerang, boomerang, boomerang, boomerang...You will come back to me


(1979) Yellow Magic Orchestra -- Technopolis


TOKIO, TOKIO, T-E-C-H-N-O-P-O-L-I-S, TOKIO


(1981) Junko Ohashi -- Telephone Number

Awooooooooooooo....56709!


(1981) Seiko Matsuda -- Natsu no Tobira (夏の扉)


Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! Natsu no tobira wo akete

フレッシュ! フレッシュ! フレッシュ! 夏の扉を開けて

Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! Open up the gates of summer


(1984) Hiromi Go -- Ni-Oku Yon-Sen-Man no Hitomi (2億4千万の瞳)


JAPAN!....JAPAN!


(2014) KMM Dan -- Witch Activity (ウィッチ☆アクティビティ)

Pippiko pippiko narase Witch☆Activity! Sono ki sono toki ikioi notteke! notteke!

ピッピコピッピコ鳴らせウィッチ☆アクティビティ その気その時イキオイノッテケ!ノッテケ!

Ring-a-ding-ding Witch Activity! That's when I feel like it! Get into it! Get into it with gusto!
