Your eyes are 10,000 voltsHoriuchi Takao

Released in 1978 as a solo single by Takao Horiuchi, who was then a member of the popular New Music group Alice, the song sold over 900,000 copies.

Even listening again now, Horiuchi’s masculine vocals shine on a track with a very simple, catchy chorus melody, making it easy to see why it achieved such strong sales.

It’s also a song without any particularly difficult sections for karaoke, so try singing it while being careful not to rush the rhythm.

You’ll likely get great results!

Urban Angels — Gin Lee (Eun-sook) Katsura & Takao Horiuchi
Angels of the CityHoriuchi Takao / Katsura Ginshu

I like how “City Angels” feels more like a regular pop/enkā-style song than a typical duet.

I picture a man and woman living in the city, loving each other while soaked in the loneliness of urban life.

The collaboration between Takao Horiuchi’s sweet, gentle male vocals and Ginshi Kajura’s husky, sultry female vocals is wonderful.
