Wink’s famous and popular songs
Let me introduce some songs by Wink, a female idol duo that took the world by storm back in the day.
They performed in doll-like outfits, singing while dancing with choreography often described as robotic, all without changing their expressions—projecting an image of pure innocence.
This “expressionless” keyword often comes up when people talk about them, but it isn’t that they were deliberately crafting that kind of persona at the time.
Rather, they were so focused on memorizing the choreography that they couldn’t manage to smile—and as a result, their faces ended up expressionless.
Paradoxically, that freshness made them stand out, generated buzz, and led to their popularity.

A female idol duo, Wink, who debuted in the late 1980s at the height of the idol boom, became a one-of-a-kind presence with their distinctive image of “marionettes singing and dancing without expression.” This is their third single, a cover of a song released by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, produced as the theme song for the TV drama “Oikaketai no!” Its clear, transparent arrangement—both in vocals and ensemble—may evoke nostalgia for those in their 50s.
It’s a track that showcases Wink’s allure and opened up new horizons for idol music.
