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:

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
