Momoe Yamaguchi 山口百惠

lim peh ka li kong

Many many years ago, when I first knew my cha-bo-lang, she liked 山口百惠 Momoe Yamaguchi very much.

Although at that time I preferred 中森明菜 Akina to 山口百惠 Momoe Yamaguchi but through my cha-bo-lang, I started to listen to some her songs too.

Actually I heard 2 of her songs in Cantonese version prior to hearing of the original versions sang by her.

1 song is the one sang by Leslie Cheung 张国荣的"风继续吹" and 1 more sang by Albert Aw 欧瑞强(cannot remember the title of the song liao).

During her prime time, our local TV station did telecast some of Momoe Yamaguchi 山口百惠 Japanese series.

As much as I tried to recall and write more about Momoe Yamaguchi 山口百惠 career paths, my mind now is rather empty as the news of the Japan entertainment wasn´t really easily accessible then.

I can only remember that Momoe Yamaguchi 山口百惠 left the entertainment limelight after she got married and since then she has never come back to show business. For that, I salute her.

Managed to find 3 of the MV and I shall post them here for my cha-bo-lang.

3 Japanese Songs 三首日本歌

Hope you enjoy the following 3 songs which I like very much.

Ken Hirai 平井坚
This is a very nice song and the MV was beautifully shot. I bought his CD because of this 1 song.

Southern All Stars 南方之星
The lead singer who is also the composer cum lyrics writer has a coarse voice. Many of his songs had been translated and sung by the Taiwanese and Hong Kong singers.

Anzenchitai 安全地带
Unique voice, talented song writer.

The above Oldies are usually appreciated by oldies, people like Old Beng. For those who have never heard of them are probably too young, but then again, songs are very subjective.
