It's BAD (2011 New Recording) Toshihiko Tahara

A track provided by Toshinobu Kubota that incorporates rap and really highlights his artistry.

Toshichan, who absolutely loves Michael Jackson.

No matter what people around him said, the way he sang in his own style was impressive, wasn’t it? Kubota himself has covered this song, and it’s groovy and seriously cool! But Toshichan’s singing-and-dancing performance might, in a way, have even surpassed it.

Aishuu de Ito (New York City Nights)

This is the long-awaited debut single from the thoroughbred “Toshi-chan,” who shot to fame in 3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei.

The original song is “New York City Nights” by American singer Leif Garrett.

I was a bit surprised at the time that he debuted with a cover, but it fit his wistful image so perfectly that it became hugely popular.

The choreography in the chorus was memorable, wasn’t it?

Toshihiko Tahara: Ah!

This is Toshihiko Tahara’s 27th single, known as “Toshi-chan.” He was starting to shed his image as a full-on idol and show a more mature charm, which made him even more popular.

An eternal idol who captivated everyone with his signature dancing! His uncompromising professional spirit was so cool.

Toshihiko Tahara Boogie-Uki I LOVE YOU

Toshihiko Tahara, who, together with Masahiko Kondo and Yoshio Nomura, led the 1980s idol boom as the “Tanokin Trio.” This work, his fourth single released in 1981, also became widely known at home as the CM song for “Sakura Color,” in which he himself appeared.

The pop, buoyant melody crafted by Satoshi Miyashita and the light, breezy sound riding on a boogie rhythm make you feel like your body starts moving on its own just by listening.

The flashy performance on music shows—where his pure white costume got wet and changed color—has become the stuff of legend, showcasing his talent as an entertainer.

This irresistibly cheerful dance number will lift your spirits when you’re feeling down, and anyone who remembers those days is sure to break into a smile!
