40th Anniversary

Yukiko Okada: FIRST DATE (1984.04.21)

Considering how few years Yukiko Okada spent in the Japanese pop industry as an idol, she left a very long and lasting impression on her listeners and fans -- so much so, that she continues to gain new followers despite having passed away in 1986. In fact, it's that tragedy that I suspect helps continue to draw in and fascinate both listeners and casual passers-by.

Yukiko Okada was discovered on the famous Star Tanjou! program in 1983 and was immediately picked up by the major label Pony Canyon to release her debut single "FIRST DATE" one year later. Okada had an undeniable, special quality about her, one that prompted both critics and audiences to draw parallels to the then-incomparable Seiko Matsuda, who had already made a massive impact, earning her high accolades and adoration despite just three years on the scene herself (massive is an understatement -- by this point she had already released five albums and was well on her way to earning the title of the nation's forever-idol). You can see it -- both singers had a genuine innocence and inner light combined with raw stage presence that made them catnip to a receptive audience always on the lookout for another young woman to venerate and project heaps of unhealthy and borderline-sociopathic expectations onto. But there was obviously something else, too, some ineffable quality that also attracted some of the top songwriters and producers to her, including prolific and beloved songwriter Mariya Takeuchi, now of "PLASTIC LOVE" fame (in fact, Takeuchi would release the album that included the song only four days later), and Masaaki Omura, who here pen the A- and B-side respectively.

Takeuchi's approach to "FIRST DATE" is pretty on-the-nose: like a lot of her songs in the 80s, it's influenced by 1950s teen-pop. The production and sentiment is typical 80s Golden Age idol, with its lyrics about a girl who's flattered to be asked out on a date despite being feeling like nobody special, and the excited and nervous feelings that the event conjures. It's cute, if almost too cute, but it also makes a genuine attempt to dodge being treacly, territory that someone like Tsukasa Ito would barrel headfirst into. It's also the perfect debut single: the singer evokes the feeling of getting to know someone for the first time, just as a listener is metaphorically getting to know a new artist or idol. The B-side, "Soyokaze no PEPPERMINT," is less literal, and more generic -- I don't necessarily see this as anything more than an extremely competent song that could has been given to any number of higher-tier idols, but that's mostly the power of Omura, who was pretty much a pro at this point, and who would go on to shape the sound of Showa-era pop for another decade to come.

Epic Rock-Episode 35: Runaway-Bon Jovi

I know Bon Jovi has become more of a Country and Western band as of late, but when they started off, or rather when he started off, it was a proper Hard Rock band. “Runaway” is the debut single by Bon Jovi. It was originally recorded in 1981 for the so-called “Power Station Demos” at the beginning of singer Jon Bon Jovi’s career, featuring the vocalist backed by session musicians. Indeed, Bon…
