She continued to score solo smash hits in the 1990s and still enjoys enduring popularity today.

A unit formed with MOTOKO, who had worked as their stylist, after Rebecca announced a hiatus.

Looking back now, it feels nostalgic.

At the time, I thought a unit of cute female singers was unusual.

As expected, NOKKO’s vocal power is incredible.

With Rebecca’s vocalist Nokko—known for her distinctive singing voice—at the helm, the 1998 release Wasurenagusa is a song with a dreamlike beauty, like a flower swayed by the wind.

The composer is Yuka Kawamura, who has crafted numerous songs including SMAP’s Yozora no Mukou.

The gently flowing acoustic guitar and Nokko’s tender vocals resonate deeply.

The lyrics evoke the changing seasons of nature and bring to mind a cherished person and those days that have become treasures.

I loved this song too.

Every time they sang it, they got better and better, and I still remember it.

Back then, they were so good I wondered if there was any singer who could surpass them.

Their voice was sweet, yet had a rock edge and a hard side—so wonderful.

Here’s the version covered by NOKKO of Rebecca, released in 2010.

It features an arrangement with lots of layered choruses, and it’s a track where you can fully enjoy NOKKO’s superb vocal prowess—glossy, soaring, and a powerful high tone that shines no matter what song she sings.

CRYING ON MONDAYNOKKO

Because I was going full throttle the day before, I’m sleepy and don’t want to get out of bed… This is a classic song I want to hear on those mornings—gentle yet powerful, like a morning call.

It was also the theme song for the delightfully surreal old TV show Ugo Ugo Ruga.

As the song’s energy slowly rises, it makes you feel like getting up and tackling the day with spirit.
