Shouwa Era Idols (1970s & 1980s)

26 November 2016 - 11:35 PM

Let's share some music from the Golden Age of Idols in Japan!!
 

There are a few individual threads for idols like Yamaguchi Momoe, Minamino Youko and Iijima Mari... but since they are dead (the threads lol) I thought I'd revive interest by creating a more general thread. :)

Let's start by introducing some download resources:
 

http://jpop80ss.blogspot.com
Download 80s idol music here. This website has a MASSIVE collection.

http://fusion-world-30.blogspot.com
Download City Pop Albums here. (a breezy, mellow mixture of smooth jazz and album-oriented rock – often with elements of jazz fusion, jazz-funk, or boogie)

These three famous idols cover the 3 main styles:
Okada Yukiko (ballad song)
Kikuchi Momoko (city pop)

Oginome Yoko (new wave)

Matsuda Seiko is rubbish :P
