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 popular songs (41–50)

MONOTONE BOYREBECCA

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.

NAVY BLUEREBECCA

This is a track included on BLOND SAURUS.

It was also released as a CD video, and a promotional video was made.

With a medium dance beat and catchy vocals, it’s a cute number.

The promotional video is a must-see.

TROUBLE OF LOVEREBECCA

“TROUBLE OF LOVE” is a track included on the 1987 album “TIME.” Unlike the powerful or pop-leaning sides of NOKKO seen before, this song is characterized by her languid yet sexy, airy vocal delivery.

VANITY ANGELREBECCA

Released on April 30, 1989, this “Vanity Angel” is REBECCA’s 11th single.

The previous song, “One More Kiss,” had a slightly more mature feel, but this time the lyrics feel like she’s gone back to being a girl.

The line, “In the barefoot high heels I forced myself to wear, a maiden’s pride is packed tight,” conjures up the image of a girl trying to have a grown-up romance, doesn’t it?

GIRLS BRAVOREBECCA

This song, featured on REBECCA IV ~Maybe Tomorrow~ released in 1985, has a melody characteristic of Rebecca.

It was used as a TV drama’s opening theme and gained popularity.

The powerful vocals resonate pleasantly.

Freeway SymphonyREBECCA

This is an uptempo, catchy number included on their third album, “WILD & HONEY,” which was also released in 1985.

It’s an album highly regarded among fans as having “no filler,” packed with outstanding tracks.
