Rebecca’s famous and popular songs
Let me introduce songs by REBECCA, a four-member rock band with a female vocalist that debuted in 1984.
When you think of REBECCA, their song “Friends” is overwhelmingly famous.
Although they went on hiatus several times in the past, they reunited in 2015 and performed on NHK’s year-end Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
It’s said that bands with a female vocalist and all-male instrumentalists were rare at the time, but after REBECCA, this lineup became popular.
Now, please enjoy the music of REBECCA, a band that took their era by storm.

Rebecca’s Best and Most Popular Songs (1–10)
FriendsREBECCA
This is Rebecca’s fourth single, released in 1985.
It was a time when songs became hits when used in TV dramas, so not only did this track take off, but the album it’s on was also a huge success.
It’s a synth-driven, beat-heavy, melodic number, and the soaring vocals are especially striking.
Midsummer RainRebekka
It’s a track that conjures up the languid air after a sudden evening shower and the sight of rain-soaked asphalt.
NOKKO’s emotionally rich vocals evoke a bittersweet, end-of-summer melancholy and an air of ennui.
The lyrics sketch fragmentary scenes and inner landscapes brought on by summer rain, likely resonating with listeners’ own summer memories.
The spatial sound processing reminiscent of reggae and dub lends it a distinctive, floating feel.
Released in November 1987 as the B-side of the single “NERVOUS BUT GLAMOROUS,” the song also appears on the album “Poison.” That album won Artist of the Year (Japanese music category) at the 2nd Japan Gold Disc Awards.
It’s the perfect song for a sultry summer night—when you’re lost in thought listening to the rain, or when you want to sink into a sentimental mood.
MOONREBECCA
Released in 1988, this is Rebecca’s ninth single and a very famous song.
Its poignant lyrics and beautiful melody are captivating, and the brilliance of the arrangement is simply outstanding.
You’ll also be overwhelmed by the sparkling vocals.

Maybe TomorrowREBECCA
This song, Maybe Tomorrow, closes REBECCA’s fourth album, REBECCA IV ~Maybe Tomorrow~, released in 1985.
Since it came out after the band’s leader, Mr.
Kogure, had left, you can sense the inner turmoil of that time from the lyrics.
Nervous But GlamorousREBECCA
Rebecca’s eighth single, released in 1987.
A medium-tempo, danceable number that became a hit after being featured in a commercial.
NOKKO showcases her impish, coquettish charm and delivers a powerful vocal performance.
Private HeroineREBECCA
This is a song included on their fourth album, REBECCA IV ~Maybe Tomorrow~, released in 1985.
It’s an up-tempo, catchy number that really energizes the crowd live.
The album reached No.
1 on the Oricon chart and features many beloved classics popular with fans.
NOISE FROM YOUR HEARTREBECCA
“Noise From Your Heart” is the B-side to “One More Kiss,” released on November 21, 1988.
Like “One More Kiss,” I felt that both the singing style and the lyrics conveyed a slightly more mature, womanly quality.
