Oricon Single Rankings for August 12th 1985

 

Ordinarily I wouldn't be putting up a simple Top 10 ranking list today, but for all this time that I was a bit worried about dwindling water supplies over what has been an unusually hot summer here, the bigger issue that hit my household today was micro-power outages. It looks like everybody and their dog have been activating their air conditioners along with their usual electronics to perhaps burden the electricity grid.

We got zapped a couple of times during the noon hour so I was frantically resetting the clocks and making sure that our television and Internet were back online. They are indeed back online but at this point, I won't be putting too much stress on the system by having both my Internet and TV on at the same time and I won't be playing any videos to help me write the KKP articles, so I'll just take it easy for the rest of the day and perhaps things will be better by tonight. Anyways, here is a list of what was up on the Top 10 Singles for August 12th 1985.

1.  Anzen Chitai                  Kanashimi ni Sayonara

2.  Checkers                        Ore-tachi no Rockabilly Night

3.  Kyoko Koizumi             Akujo

4.  Hiroko Yakushimaru    Anata wo Motto Shiritakute

5.  Toshi & Naoko               Natsu Zakari Honoji Gumi

6.  Onyanko Club               Sailor Fuku wo Nugasanaide

7.  Ayumi Nakamura         Tsubasa no Oreta Angel

8.  Akina Nakamori           Sand Beige

9.  Southern All Stars        Bye Bye My Love

10.  Yu Hayami                  Passion

  1. 1985 was a great year for music, and the hits from August 12th of that year are still get airtime to day, or at least I hear them on some the music show I watch and I knew all 10!
