【Hard Rock/Hair Metal】Make-Up (JP) - マン・アンド・ウーマン| Man and Woman 1985~Emily's collection

【Pls look at the top comment first】I am glad to recommend this band, a masterpiece of Japanese rock, also the first J-rock I had known. Make-Up was well-known all over Asia for rock fans, especially East Asia because of their work on the theme songs for the anime Saint Seiya, which leaves very deepest impression on the post-70s/80s generation. Everytime I think of Make-Up and Nobuo Yamada (やまだ のぶお), a.k.a. NoB, I cannot help but get high not only for his passion of rock spirit but also his nostalgic voice that reminds me of my childhood time: Saint Seiya is back.

The voice behind the young Saints' theme is NoB. He was the frontman of Make-Up and started rock n roll at the age of 19 in 1983. However, they had a split-up in the late 1980s after releasing 4 albums from 1984 to 1986, all of which are precious collections with no weak songs to me. They played typical 1980s hard rock with aor tracks because the distinct keyboards elements sound very melodious. マン・アンド・ウーマン means "Man and Woman" from their 1985 album "Rock Legend Of Boys And Girls". If you have no knowledge of Japanese or you are not accustomed to English with such a Japanese accent, it doesn't matter, just listen. Another band called Grand Prix has a close association with Make-Up because this is NoB's next project founded in 1987 after Make-Up, which I will post in the next few weeks.
