    Mary Sandeman, better known by her stage name Aneka /əˈniːkə/ (born 20 November 1947 in Edinburgh, Scotland), is a Scottish singer.
    In 1981 she reached number one in the UK Singles Chart with her song "Japanese Boy". She was well known for the Oriental image she adopted for the song. After her brief foray into pop, she reverted to her real name and re-established herself as an accomplished singer of Scottish traditional music. This music career having begun in Scotland as a teenager and continued up until her first hit, as Mary Sandeman. It was only at the time of the 1981 hit that she changed her name.

    Could it be another he's found

    Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
    He's a Japanese boy
    I woke up one morning and my love was gone
    Oh, my Japanese boy
    Ooh, I miss my Japanese boy
    People ask about him every day
    Oh oh, oh oh
    Don't know what to tell them, what can I say
    Oh oh, oh oh
    If only he would write me or call
    A word of explanation, that's all
    It would stop me climbing the wall
    It's breaking up the happy home
    Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
    He's a Japanese boy
    I woke up one morning and my love was gone

    Brilliant idea and production. Perfect combination of oriental and European style in clothing dance and singing style. So funny so dynamic makes you woonder every second if you are looking at tv show from Japan or from a disco in Great Britain. Love it after so many years. She is sweet alert delicate and original. What can I say. I can not get enough of it. The story pretends to be a sad one but the performance leaves you with a happy feeling. Strange but not unusual for that era (The artists from various bands were smiling and seem to have fun and enjoy themselves no matter what they were singing about ...unless it was hard a rock band).
