“Eat You Up” is a dance hit by Angie Gold which was hugely popular in 1980s especially in Asia because of the covers by Japanese pop star Yōko Oginome and Hong Kong star Priscilla Chan.
I never knew the song title though… happened to bound in to this music video while searching about Korean pop star BoA’s American debut with a song of the same title.
Sharing all three music videos below (from Angie, Yoko and Priscilla); pretty catchy song and some ‘interesting’ 80s’ fashions and dance moves…
Music video collection of Japanese singer-songwriter YUI. The Fukuoka-born star made her professional debut in 2004; her music career started off reasonably well, but not really an instant hit… but she gradually build her fame and is now one of the most popular female artists in Japan.
Good-bye Days
YUI’s breakthrough came in 2006 with “Good-bye Days”, which was used as the theme song for movie “Midnight Sun” (Taiyou no Uta) in which she played the leading role…
YUI actually received the best newcomer award from Japan Academy Prize, but she didn’t wander much into acting, and the movie is the only film she has made so far.
“Koko ni Iru yo” (ここにいるよ - I’m Right Here) is a Japanese song by SoulJa (not to be confused with American entertainer Soulja Boy) featuring Thelma Aoyama. The lyrics and its melodic tunes (and also the MV itself) created lots of echoes from those who are in long distance relationship.
English subbed music video of Koko ni Iru yo (the MV actress is not Aoyama btw)…
Yuko Ogura has won the 1st Japan Gravure Idol Award organised by gravure idol site ZAKZAK. The result was based on the sales of DVDs and photobooks, as well as exposure to media and appearances at public events. [via Tokyograph]
Gravure idols are Japanese models who posed primarily in bikinis and other provocative clothings for photo spreads in magazines, photobooks and DVDs. Some gravure idols would cross over into acting and singing… a few of the famous gravure idols could actually match the popularity of some A-list stars.
Below is the music video of “Onna no Ko ♥ Otoko no Ko” (オンナのコ ♥ オトコのコ; Girls ♥ Boys), a song from Yuko Ogura which was used as the ending theme for Japanese anime “School Rumble”…
“Polyrhythm” (ポリリズム) is Japanese pop group Perfume’s fifth major single, and is included in their 2nd second album “Game”, which was released on April 16.
Game has hit the #1 sport on Oricon chart last week; Perfume is only the second technopop group to top the chart. [Tokyograph]
Music video of Polyrhythm… a bit odd, but I like it…
