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 Greatest and Most Popular Songs (31–40)
Private HeroineREBECCA
This is a signature song by REBECCA, a band that was active in the late 1980s.
The lyrics, which portray the pain of heartbreak and the struggles of love, are particularly memorable.
NOKKO’s lively vocals and the danceable melody are very appealing.
It was included on the album REBECCA IV ~Maybe Tomorrow~, released in November 1985, which became a million-seller.
If you experienced that era in real time, you can probably still hum it today.
With its cool performance and vocals, this is a great chance to give it another listen.
BLOND SAURUSREBECCA
This “BLOND SAURUS” is a song included on REBECCA’s album of the same title, released in 1989.
Back then, artists like Tetsuya Komuro from TM NETWORK were popular for their use of synthesizers and programmed sounds.
Dobashi also increasingly incorporated similar arrangements, and I felt it was a bit of a shame because it didn’t make the most of NOKKO’s unique character.
Bottom LineREBECCA
This “Bottom Line” is REBECCA’s first 12-inch single, released in 1985.
NOKKO’s wild, untamed lyrics really come through.
It’s a song that vividly expresses her worldview—like a stray cat that’s gone with the flow of society and gotten used to it, yet is still lurking and aiming for something somewhere.
Cotton LoveREBECCA
This is a song included on the 1989 album BLOND SAURUS.
It’s a beat-rock number with the kind of wistful melody Rebecca excels at.
BLOND SAURUS, which became Rebecca’s final original album, was also a popular release that reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart.
Lady Lady LadyREBECCA
This is a track included on BLOND SAURUS.
It encapsulates Rebecca’s signature sound with dance beats, synth textures, and soaring vocals.
The brass instruments are used effectively as well, resulting in a beautifully crafted song.

MONOTONE BOYREBECCA
It’s the seventh single, released in 1987.
It was also used as a movie’s ending theme and became a hit.
It’s a dance number with a simple arrangement, but it makes effective use of a distinctive bassline, which makes the rhythm section interesting.
NAKED COLORREBECCA
This song, NAKED COLOR, is included on REBECCA’s de facto final album, BLOND SAURUS, released in 1989.
By that time, it wasn’t just the band—NOKKO herself had a lot smoldering inside, so the lyrics reflect her inner struggle, wondering how she could get back to how things used to be.
