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)
White SundayNEW!REBECCA
An unforgettable winter ballad by REBECCA, with lyrics that conjure fogged-up windows, chilly air, and the quiet intimacy of two people alone.
It offers an introspective, beautiful world quite unlike their flashier hits.
The vocalist’s whisper-like delivery layers with crystalline synthesizer tones, evoking a sensation as if the cold itself were brushing your skin.
The track appears on the classic album TIME, which reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
Though originally an album cut released in October 1986, its polished perfection explains why it’s remained a beloved winter staple among fans for so long.
It’s a must-listen not only for those who lived through the ’80s band boom, but also for anyone who wants to sink into music on a snowy holiday morning, warm and unhurried at home.
Private HeroineREBECCA
This song, Private Heroine, is included on REBECCA’s fourth album, REBECCA IV ~Maybe Tomorrow~, released in 1985.
I feel this especially with this track, but NOKKO’s vocal range and sustain are outstanding.
In particular, the vibrato in the chorus isn’t processed—it’s said to be done entirely with her natural voice.
mirageREBECCA
A beautiful, melodic track from their third album, “WILD & HONEY,” released in 1985.
With a powerful bass and drums complemented by a prominent synthesizer, it’s a very stylish song.
VirginityREBECCA
Released on November 21, 1984, Virginity is REBECCA’s second single.
Although the lyrics were not written by NOKKO herself, they were somewhat suggestive and became a hot topic at the time.
There was even a rumor that the story was based on real events.
One More KissREBECCA
Released on November 21, 1988, One More Kiss is REBECCA’s 10th single.
It was also used in a commercial for Sony’s component stereo system “Liberty.” NOKKO studied ballet from a young age and showcases ballet-inspired dance in this music video.
LONELY BUTTERFLYREBECCA
This is the sixth single, released in 1986.
It was put out as a lead single from the album that would be released later, and both the single and the album became massive hits.
It has a beautiful, sorrowful melody that can make you cry just from hearing the intro, and the lyrics and melody fit together perfectly.
LITTLE ROCKREBECCA
“LITTLE ROCK,” released on November 22, 1989, is REBECCA’s 13th single.
In effect, it became the final single of REBECCA’s first era.
The lyrics, like a cheer song from NOKKO to hardworking girls, are encouraging.
