5:34 "Japan's Jessica Alba" is a very apt description.😅I never even thought about it because she was older than Jessica.😂 In 1991, at the age of 14, she was selected as a founding member of the dance performance group "SUPER MONKEY'S" while enrolled at Okinawa Actors School, and made her debut. In the 1990s, she released a string of hit songs, sparking the "Amu-rah" phenomenon, where women imitate Amuro's fashion. The characteristics of Amurah are dark tanned skin, mini skirts, platform boots, and light-dyed hair, so if they appear in old footage, it will be a sign of age. She retired on September 16, 2018, just before turning 40. Although she has not revealed the reason for her retirement, Namie Amuro said, "It took me five years to completely eliminate even a millimeter of my desire to sing, and it took me more than a dozen years from thinking about retiring to actually doing it." Namie Amuro's main achievements are as follows: ･"SWEET 19 BLUES" released in 1996 sold over 3 million copies, breaking the album shipment record at the time. The single "CAN YOU CELEBRATE?" released in 1997 became a hit, selling over 2 million copies.
1:10 Have you heard of the Japanese diva, Hikaru Utada?😊If you haven't already, I highly recommend you listen to it. Fuji Keiko, who is on screen now, is Utada Hikaru's mother.🤭(If you haven't experienced Utada Hikaru yet, the order is reversed.😅
3:44 This song was created as part of a plan for a family sitcom comedy live show by Kinichi Hagimoto, who had shows on all the major commercial broadcasting stations in Japan at the time and was known as the "100% Viewer Rating Man" based on the combined viewer ratings of all his shows.😀 The audience was invited into a studio with a stage, and they performed skits depicting the daily life of a family in a theatrical style. They appeared as three girls, and the songs they sang in the play became a hit with people of all ages and genders.🤗However, just before the screen shifts to the far left, the actress who is supposed to be there playing the eldest daughter has not had any drug problems, something that has been a problem in Japan for a long time.😓
2:42 "Sometimes songs that are popular in Japan aren't even in Japanese." Yes, Japanese people have been listening to English songs and French chansons for a long time.🤗We even invited the Israeli duo "Hedva and David" to perform in Japan.😌 In particular, this "Beautiful Sunday" may be more famous as a cover version by Seiji Tanaka than as an original song 🤔
