00:00Today's theme is the continuing Showa and Heisei pop boom
00:06This time, we followed the people who continue to sing classic songs in the Reiwa era.
00:22Released in 1983 (Showa 58) Henri's sadness never ends.
00:27This song is currently a revival hit all over the world.

00:38It is a famous song that has been covered by many artists, including Junichi Inagaki.
00:46Live houses in Tokyo this month
00:50There are still artists who sing this song today.

01:12A group of people with an average age of 35 who sing Showa-era pop songs
01:22When an event is held, more than 2,000 people line up.
01:28She sings well and dances very well too
01:33I really sympathized with the idea of failing and then trying again.
01:38I was born in 1999, so I didn't understand much of the Showa era conversation.
01:42I started listening to it throughout this festival.
01:44This time, we followed people who continue to sing Showa and Heisei pop songs into the Reiwa era.
01:54On the 15th of this month, what was happening at Daikanzan
02:04Tokimeki Records Live
02:06They started their activities six years ago by covering a song.
02:09That's Maria Takeuchi's Plastic Love
02:14People who invite you to talk are sarcastic.
02:21It always looks like a wall
02:25For some reason
02:26Since then
02:28These two sinful people are the best and I can't be separated
02:34I want to be loved like this
02:38Stay with me
02:41Many covers of songs in the genre known as city pop
02:52It was born in Japan in the late 1970s and 1980s.
03:01It features melodies and lyrics that are urban and strongly influenced by Western music.
03:05Hikaru, who sings on many songs on Tokimeki Records, was born in the 90s.
03:11Starting in 2021, Star will also release original songs that follow the tradition of city pop.
03:22Starting in 2021, Star will also release original songs that follow the tradition of city pop.
03:32They have also had successful live performances in Phai Wan and Hong Kong, and are spreading their activities around the world.
03:41Next, the following phenomenon occurs
04:00The girl group Me I performed this song live last year.
04:04Million-selling single of the Heisei era: The God of Romance
04:11In this way, artists who are popular with the younger generation
04:14There's a phenomenon of covering Showa and Heisei pop songs.
04:21Furthermore, Unova, who is also a member of the Lapone Girls group, is
04:25This April, we will be announcing a project to cover classic songs that transcend time.
04:34And speaking of girl groups that have been at the center of Heisei pop music,
04:50Morning Musume, formed in 1997, still has their million-selling hit songs.
04:56They continue singing and liven up the live show.
04:59The junior group released the single this month,
05:06Henri's cover makes me so sad
05:14The average age of the singing Tsubaki Factory is 19.8 years old
05:18This song was created by some members over 20 years ago.
05:23I'm ashamed to say that I had never heard it before, but when I heard that they were going to do a cover,
05:28First time listening to it
05:30My father is already in his 50s.
05:32It's a strange feeling to cover something like that, especially for someone of my generation.
05:36He said
05:37I was very conscious of the feeling of singing, incorporating a bit of Henri's singing style.
05:43for example
05:44She said, "I can't stop"
05:48Henri sang without taking a breath.
05:53yes
05:54I can't stop from her
06:00The Loneliness
06:03The original is here
06:05I can't stop from her
06:12I think there are still many wonderful songs that I don't know about.
06:17I want to cover it and share it with people of my generation.
06:21I want to listen to Showa era pop music more and love it even more.
06:28This is the crowd in Saitama Prefecture on the 22nd of this month.
06:38The event that day was produced by Yasushi Akimoto
06:41Showa and Festivals
06:51These two groups were born with the concept of bringing Showa pop music into the modern era.
07:00What's the appeal?
07:02Because I have a previous job, I can't just sing, I can't just dance.
07:07I think it's very attractive.
07:09No matter how old you are, chasing your dreams and working hard is
07:13It's so wonderful that no matter how old you are, there's always a new beginning.
07:18That's right. The members' previous jobs were as cooking researchers and J-League players.
07:23Truly a wide variety
07:26Thanks to Showa pop music, the 12 of us, with an average age of 35,
07:30I continue to pursue my dream of singing.
07:33It feels like a second career, but what are your thoughts on this activity?
07:39I think that as we get older, it becomes harder to pursue our dreams.
07:45But I realized that you can pursue your dreams at any age.
07:49There is something I want to embody.
07:53This is our new song, Our Whistle, released this month.
07:57In addition to covers, they also release original songs with a Showa-era feel.
08:03What is the appeal of Showa era pop music that they continue to convey?
08:08The Showa era was long, and there are many different kinds of lives.
08:12I think there are a lot of songs about the times when everyone worked hard.
08:17I think there are more songs that resonate with me.
08:22Just like how parents and children enjoyed festivals in the Showa era
08:25I always sing Rebecca's Friends with my mother at karaoke and have a great time.
08:30That's great, because it's my generation.
08:33I feel like going to karaoke with you.
08:35I want to go
08:37That's all, it was a good recommendation.
