IMAGE DOWNBOØWY
A song included on BOØWY’s debut album “MORAL,” released in March 1982.
Because it is the first track on the album, it is regarded as their debut song.
Although it was never released as a single, it has strong support from fans, and a live recording from that time was included as-is on the best-of album “THIS BOOWY,” released in February 1998.
TO-SEARCHBUCK-TICK
Released in October 1986, this is BUCK-TICK’s debut single.
Because it was released on an indie label at the time, it was not included on any original albums after they moved to a major label, and it was first included on their second best-of album, BT, released in 1999.
It is also included as the B-side to their first single after signing with a major label, JUST ONE MORE KISS.
Keep everything as isJUN SKY WALKER(S)
A song included on JUN SKY WALKER(S)’s major-label debut album “Zenbu Kono Mama de,” released in May 1988.
Because it is the first track on the album, it is considered their debut song.
Their first single, “Suteki na Yozora,” was released in November of the same year and is included on their second major-label album, “Hitotsu Dakishimete,” which was released on the same day.
DeedeElefanto Kashimashi
Released in March 1988, this is Elephant Kashimashi’s debut single.
It is also included on their first album, THE ELEPHANT KASHIMASHI, released on the same day.
Although Elephant Kashimashi is often associated with debuting in the late 1990s, the band was actually formed when the members were in junior high school, and to this day they continue their activities as a four-piece including the original members.
This soul-stirring song is a work that could only come from Hiroji Miyamoto, whose career as a musician spans many years.

Released in May 1986, this was the debut single of 1986 Omega Tribe, and it was later rearranged and included on their fourth album, Navigator, released in April 1995.
After the original band, Kiyotaka Sugiyama & Omega Tribe, disbanded, the lead vocalist and members were restructured, and they debuted as a new rock band.
The CD sold well, and the song reached a peak position of No.
6 on the Oricon singles chart.
CandyC-C-B
Released in June 1983, this was C-C-B’s debut single, and it was also included on their first album, “Mild Weekend,” released the same month.
C-C-B produced many catchy hits that stick in your ears, such as “Romantic ga Tomaranai” (Romantic Can’t Be Stopped).
At the time of their debut, the band’s official name was Coconut Boys, but due to feedback that it was hard to read, it was shortened to C-C-B.
From the late 1980s, the official band name was changed to C-C-B.

The song was used as the theme for a variety show in the Kansai region, which helped raise the band’s profile there.
