EPO Wind Like Music

First of all, the sensation of feeling “wind” in the music is extremely beautiful.

The sound itself is clear and modern, free of any muddiness.

It was released in 1985.

The arrangements are inventive, and describing the end of a romance as closing the pages of an album is a particularly elegant touch.

Downtown / EPO DOWN TOWN / EPO

The timeless classic “DOWN TOWN,” beloved across generations.

As EPO’s debut work, its distinctive musicality feels strikingly modern, as if it were ahead of its time.

With lyrics by Ginji Ito that consciously embrace Japanese pop sensibilities, it deftly captures both the glitz of the city at night and the buoyant feelings of its people.

Carried by EPO’s soulful vocals, the story of “DOWN TOWN” vividly rekindles the youth of those now in their seventies, while also giving a flutter of excitement to those of us living today.

Why not enjoy a special night drive, different from the everyday, while listening to this song through your car speakers? Be sure to experience the dreamy sonic world EPO weaves.

April Fools in DecemberEPO3rank/position

April Fools in December

It’s a bittersweet ballad where the festive sparkle of a winter city at Christmastime overlaps with the sorrow of a love’s end—an irony that cuts deep.

The song by EPO was released as a single in November 1985 and included on the album “PUMP! PUMP!” With lyrics and composition by EPO herself and arrangement by Hiroshi Sato, its sophisticated sound blends AOR balladry with city pop.

The lyrics are striking for how they overlay the pain of heartbreak—realizing the person you believed was your only one was not—onto a title that deliberately invokes a “day of lies.” A self-cover version was released in 1993, and a completely re-arranged re-recording in 1999, keeping the song loved for many years.

It’s a track that quietly stays by your side when you feel a little distant from the dazzling Christmas scene.

This commercial, which also suggests ways to use McDonald’s beyond just meals, is memorable for Aoi Miyazaki enjoying a Japanese-style Ichigo Daifuku Pie so deliciously.

The song is “Uh Fu Fu Fu,” released by EPO in 1983.

Even though it’s quite an old track, it has retained its freshness and is recognized as a standard tune, isn’t it?

Singer-songwriter EPO, known for her signature song “U, Fu, Fu, Fu,” was active in the 1980s.

About meEPO6rank/position

EPO About Me

It’s a story-driven piece that feels like you could write a short story from it.

The present “me” writes letters to myself at 15 and 20, and the replies say, “I was happy.” But the current “me” has lots of worries.

In the ending, when I write a letter to my future self, the reply says, “You’ve got the wrong name”…

that’s the kind of story it tells.

And in the present, there’s someone who gently lays a blanket over me and says, “You’ll catch a cold,” as I doze off after writing the letter.

It’s a song that makes you feel that something good is bound to happen somewhere.

Released in 1985.

Uh, huh, huh, huhEPO7rank/position

EPO – U, Fu, Fu, Fu, (lyrics)

A pop tune packed with the shimmering brilliance of the 1980s that sets your heart dancing with the promise of spring.

Sung by EPO, this single was released in February 1983 and became a major talking point as Shiseido’s spring campaign song on TV.

Just hearing the light rhythm of the intro is enough for many to recall the lively atmosphere of the streets back then.

Nobuyuki Shimizu’s sophisticated arrangement still sounds fresh today, and the track is included on the classic album “VITAMIN E・P・O.” The sense of elation depicted in the lyrics never fades, no matter how many years go by.

How about letting your heart skip again, just like that day, under the spring sunshine?
