1950's to 1970's Popular Japanese Music

(OMG wherre did you find the single collection? I've been looking everywhere!)

I am thirding Momoe, especially her later half stuff. I recommend her albums Phoenix Densetsu and Yokosuka Story first. Pink Lady is another staple of the late 70s.

Other popular groups are the Candies (think like Japanese Supremes) and Junko Sakurada. You're talking the new music and kayoukyoku music eras which had some really great folksy stuff.

50s? I am not as familiar, but the Peanuts (twin sisters) were big. Also one of the biggest names of Jpop is Hibari Misora who was pretty much the big time in the mid 20th century. I don't know much about her actual music though, but she may be a place to start.

Its good to see people listening to the oldies, thanks for the recommendations.

I don't have much space in my mediafire account and can't fit the second disc but I uploaded the first disc. Let me know when you download it, I'll have to take it down and then upload the second disc. I took a while to find it, I looked everywhere. haha Now that I relooked I can't find the album where I downloaded it... :S Maybe someone else can upload these if they have more space if they feel like sharing so people can download both at the same time? Sorry!

Thanks so much! I've grabbed it and shared it with someone else looking for her stuff alongside me. Hope it's okay.

I think it's just because I mostly consider Yuming an 80's-present artist (or it's where I tend to lump her in. I love her 80's stuff the best so I tend to forget she did anything else, haha.)

Oh totally, share away as much as you like. I just don't have the space to hold both otherwise I'd keep them uploaded for everyone to download.

What do you think of the first disc so far?
