Welcome to the club! oyasumi no uta basically means "Good Night Song" ("oyasumi" = "Good night!"). You can check out a similar song called 銀河への船 (Boat to the Milky Way) if you search for videos on google. The band hit their popularity peak in the summer of 1995 -- their WL '95 DVD captures this well...

Went to the show last night, lined up early & was just as close to the stage as the DCT show. Closer even, as both the bassist and lead actually got so close several times I had to back up a bit, LOL. Not the biggest POLYSICS fan but it was one helluva show, especially for only $14, LOL. Turns out t...

Looks like DCT will be the 2nd most senior non-enka entry on the red team, behind Akiko Wada.

OK, after further review I don't find PP's catalog particularly deep.

But Romancin' Blue (1988), Seven Years After (1991), and Voice (1993) are awesome, awesome songs. The latter isn't AFAICT on Youtube but I intend to fix that . . .

oh man, hearing Princess Princess' M from JPS made me also check out PP's Last Live dual DVD when it became available last week. Not having TV in Tokyo until 1997 (and being FOB in 1992), I pretty much missed the PP boom and had no impression of their career arc until last week. Catching some inform...

>It would be awesome if you could translate the DCT pages Man those scans are really old-school with the vertical writing. Same print quality as my first Japanese textbook, also from ca 1990. "DREAMS COME TRUE" are jumping into the "SEGA" mark.  The article discloses that PROJECT SONIC is a cartridg...

> I remember my brother, at the time was studying Japanese and hoping to go work for Sega I actually interviewed for a Genesis manual-writing position at Sega HQ in late 1993.

Aro-fo CD compilation

hit JPS. I had heard most of these songs in snippets but nice to check them out in whole. Listening to PIECE OF MY WISH, I had no idea Miki Imai could sing so well (this song came out in 1991, a year before I arrived, and Imai's later stuff isn't as good). While lacking Miwa's overall peak power her...

They talk about DCT starting a year after "The Best 10" ended which was a TBS music show that Kuroyanagi co-hosted. The TBS show started in 1978 and Masa says he always watched it every week. Kuroyanagi did the voice for the Thunderbird series character Penelope when it aired on NHK in the mid-60s, ...
