I'm so pretty, but I have no luck with men

"Blue Sky Heart (No me? More no!)" / 1980

Even though it's a commercial song for a refreshing cider, the muttered complaints at the end are cute.

Champagne on thin shoulders, wine on wet lips

"Party for Two ~Tiny Bubbles (type-A)" / 1980

A toast between just the two of you in a glass, likened to the tiny bubbles of champagne.

When we both wake up from our dreams, we'll be 90 years old

"Sexy Granny on Tobacco Road" / 1980

We'll be together until we grow gray hair, and before we know it, we'll be 90 years old. But we're still burning with love.

The two of us were always proud of our close relationship that made people resent us.

"I am the Piano" / 1980

This song expresses the painful feelings of heartbreak, but it may actually be about the loneliness of a piano waiting for someone to play it.

The second thing I say is "To You"

"TO YOU" / 1980

"To you. To you. For you" is a catchphrase for people. Even if you truly believe something, if you just keep repeating it, no one will believe you, so this song may be a lesson like that.

When I fall in love with someone, the only person I remember is that person

"Matsuda's Lullaby" / 1980

As the title suggests, Hiroshi Matsuda is the vocalist. The more you fall in love with someone else, the more you remember that one person, the absurdity of love that everyone experiences at least once.

I'm gonna hurt you like you done me

"Tiny Bubbles (type-B)" / 1980

The lyrics are entirely in English. Even something as trivial as a small bubble can hurt each other. But that's the joy of love.

There's no way I'll forget about the TV show, but even though I don't mean to, I just laugh

"Workin' for TV" / 1980

He reveals his true feelings at the time when he was constantly appearing on TV. He also expresses his irony about the fictional world that makes us laugh even when we don't want to.

Mom and Dad are out, so it's just the two of us.

"Inasena Locomotion" / 1980

We decided to go on a date at home on a day when our parents weren't home. We were excited as we played a ton of oldies singles.

Dreams are dreams, they pass by

"LOVE SICK CHICKEN" / 1980

The word "dream" appears three times, but the emptiness at the end, "in the end," is heartbreaking.

If you can do it however you like, it's like jazz

"JAZZ MAN" / 1980

It may seem like a wooing device, but it's actually love itself. This song is like Kuwata's unique interpretation of jazz.

A top will fall from the gourd tomorrow

"A Top from a Gourd" / 1980

Written, composed and sung by Kazuyuki Sekiguchi, this song expresses the somewhat passive feeling of hoping for the unexpected.

Be the woman that makes me melt

"Forget Me Not Lay Back" / 1980

The ultimate killer line for a relationship that's coming to an end. "Just whisper it" to make me melt.

What is it about a woman who says she has never had a heart-fluttering day?

"FIVE ROCK SHOW" / 1980

Love is when you lose yourself and burn with passion. This is Southern All Stars' creed.

No woman is as weak as a man

"Sha La La" / 1980

It's a sweet song with a dialogue between a man and a woman, but the part sung by Harabo is strong and refreshing.

The world has become so strange that I can no longer get angry

"Sorry Charlie" / 1980

The lyrics seem to be inspired by Ray Charles. There's also a hint of weakness, like, "I feel pathetic too, so I comfort myself."

Banning the show from broadcast is also treated lightly.

"Big Star Blues" / 1981

The song is about the struggles of a star, and even takes inspiration from the controversy surrounding the song being banned from broadcast at the time.

I hear the sound of rain between my breaths

"Morning Moonlight" / 1981

When you're gazing into each other's eyes and whispering, there's no need for music; the sound of the rain makes the perfect background music. A romantic morning scene.

It's also a lovely gesture to invite me closer

"Hello My Love" / 1981

This is a rare song that has almost no complicated feelings involved, and simply enjoys the secrets. "Oidemase" is a dialect of Yamaguchi Prefecture.

We gaze at each other, touch your hair, scratch your back with both hands

"My Foreplay Music" / 1981

The steps leading up to bed and foreplay are realistically depicted.

On February 26th, a small bond between two people

"Let Me Dance Without Face" / 1981

Even the date is sung rhythmically, and February 26th is Kuwata's birthday.

Let's act cool in Tsujido.

"Night Breeze on the Beach" / 1981

Tsujido, between Fujisawa and Chigasaki, is the perfect place for a secluded, seductive rendezvous by the sea at night?

I'm only dreaming of being held somewhere

"A Woman's Story" / 1981

The feelings of a shy woman who wants to keep her secret, but in the end they end up together... This is the story of one summer.

We, you and I are all Pa-pu...

"We are Papu Fellows" / 1981

They are all familiar musical comrades, and the horn and string players are also fellow Papu members.

I believe, I believe, I believe in Mr. Yagi

"Dear M.Y.'s Boogie" / 1981

A perfect ode to "older men" dedicated to jazz pianist Yagi Masao, who participated in the arrangement.

Even more beautiful than what I had seen in my dreams, her waist and other parts were plump.

"Let's Take a Chance" / 1981

"And so on" is good. There are others, but especially the waist. Real joy that can't be found in delusions.

I don't know what attitude is best for you

"Stereo Taiyo-zoku" / 1981

The film depicts the confusion of a man who falls in love after seeing a woman dancing, with a stoic gaze that only looks one-sidedly.

If you could understand why I am so shy

"Muku Cries" / 1981

The lyrics and music are soft and gentle, typical of Kazuyuki Sekiguchi. It's as if he's believing that, "You know why I'm shy, right?"

She just parted her hair with her fingers, it was an amazing gesture

"Shiorino Theme" / 1981

Rather than boldly brushing her hair up, the gesture of parting it slightly with her fingers is much more appealing. It's important to be casual in everything you do.

I can see Eboshi Rock in the distance, my eyes blurred with tears.

"Chaco Coast Story" / 1982

It was a big hit, boldly incorporating homage to Showa era pop music. By incorporating "Eboshi Rock", the scenery takes on a Southern feel.
