dandelion

This is a single released in 1983 by Starbow, a three-member female idol group active from 1982 to 1984.

When they debuted, their concept was that of “three gender-unknown space musketeers who escaped from the tenth planet of the solar system, Starbow, and came to Earth to bring A.I.

(ai, meaning love).” However, with this song, their concept was drastically revised, and they became a regular female idol group.

Dandelion – dandelion

Tanpopo, a sub-unit formed in 1998 within Morning Musume—the idol group that took Japan by storm under the overall production of Tsunku—released this as their third single.

The song was also used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s sketch comedy show “Warau Inu no Seikatsu – YARANEVA!! -.” It is sung by first-generation members Aya Ishiguro, Kaori Iida, and Mari Yaguchi.

It’s a bright song with a mature charm, distinct from Morning Musume’s usual style.

Spitz – Dandelion (Tanpopo) [Romaji Sub/Lyrics]

This is a track from Spitz, a four-piece rock band formed in 1987, included on their major-label debut album “Spitz,” released in 1991.

Despite the cute title “Dandelion,” the relaxed waltz tempo, and vocalist Kusano’s gentle voice—an initial impression of softness—the song stands out as an early masterpiece whose profound lyrics and wistful guitar solo resonate deeply.
