Although this song has the minor-key melody typical of early The Checkers, its brisk eight-beat rhythm makes it stick in your head.

The snare drum’s crisp snap and the saxophone’s lines are used to full effect, and the lyrics show great taste as well.

Checkers MedleyChekkāzu

This is a medley by a popular seven-member male pop band.

Back then, they were topping the charts as idols, but as an idol group capable of creating their own original songs, they spread their unique appeal nationwide.

Every track is full of catchy music that will get you moving.

Back then, it wasn’t released as a single—it was just a B-side track—but it’s a masterpiece.

Among the Checkers’ numbers, it leans pretty heavily toward rock ’n’ roll, maybe even reminiscent of the Hakata Mentai beat.

The snappy eight-beat, the pulsing bass, and the wailing sax are irresistible for rock lovers.

God, help!Chekkāzu44rank/position

A single released in 1985.

A five-member rock band from Fukuoka Prefecture formed in 1980.

The saxophone that comes in between sections is striking.

Listening to the lyrics—addressing feelings for a girl to God—set to a simple, straight rock rhythm, it feels like an idol-style song from that era.

Blue PacificChekkāzu45rank/position

It was a double A-side single released in 1985, but because it was issued as a 12-inch concept single, it wasn’t performed on music shows and isn’t counted as an official single.

It was used in a TDK cassette tape commercial and is a love song about thinking of a lover you broke up with in the summer.
