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.

This “MOTOR DRIVE” is the B-side track to REBECCA’s fifth single, “RASPBERRY DREAM,” released on May 2, 1986.
