🎸1986 Gary Moore & Minako Honda - The Cross (Ai No Jujika)

“The Cross” (愛の十字架 / Ai no Jūjika) is a dramatic and emotionally rich collaboration between Japanese pop icon Minako Honda and legendary guitarist Gary Moore. Released in 1986, the song blends symphonic J-Pop with powerful blues-rock guitar, creating a haunting, cinematic ballad.

Gary Moore’s soaring solo adds deep emotional weight to Minako’s expressive vocals, turning this track into a unique musical fusion of East and West. The title means “The Cross of Love”, and the music lives up to that name—full of passion, struggle, and devotion.

🎤 A true hidden gem for fans of Japanese pop, vintage crossovers, and Gary Moore’s lesser-known works.
