The debut song of a Japanese rock band from the 1980s
This time, I’ll introduce debut songs by Japanese rock bands from the 1980s.
The 1980s were an exciting era when many musical styles emerged—new wave, punk, visual kei, and more—making the rock scene especially interesting.
Often called the “band boom” era, this period saw a great number of distinctive bands.
