BE MY BABYCOMPLEX1rank/position

Kohji Kikkawa and Tomoyasu Hotei were already immensely popular at the time.

This is the memorable debut single from their legendary duo, COMPLEX.

The hard, razor-sharp guitar and boldly synthesized, digital sound still feel incredibly stylish and cool today.

The song is a straightforward love track written by Kikkawa, with an unabashedly possessive passion for the one he loves—its masculine worldview is irresistible.

Upon its release in April 1989, it hit No.

1 on the Oricon charts, and years later it was also used in a commercial for Toyota’s bB.

Don’t Stop LoveCOMPLEX2rank/position

Formed by two major stars, Koji Kikkawa and Tomoyasu Hotei, they were active in the late ’80s! Their upbeat sound, which seemed to reflect the rock scene of the time, was striking.

And yet, despite its catchiness, this rock number is, curiously, still cool when you listen to it today! Not becoming uncool with the passage of time is the hallmark of a timeless classic loved across generations.

NO MORE LIESCOMPLEX

“NO MORE LIES” is a song included on COMPLEX’s second album, “ROMANTIC 1990,” released in 1990.

As we become adults, before we know it, everyone tells lies just to get by.

This song delivers a wake-up-call message: stop that, and remember how we were back then!

COMPLEX is the legendary musical unit formed by Tomoyasu Hotei—now a world-renowned guitarist—and singer-songwriter Koji Kikkawa.

Their second single, “1990,” which effectively became their final single, sticks in your head with its hooky melody riding a tight guitar riff.

The lyrics, lamenting the global situation around 1990, will likely trigger vivid memories for those now in their 50s who lived through that era.

It’s a rock tune whose ensemble—where two distinct personalities collide—amps up the tension, making it a surefire crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
