Dancing Hero

You said "I love you" or whatever...
Yet you don't even make a move on me
It's a beautiful candlelit night
Let your glass slippers dissolve into stardust
Riding a merry-go-round at midnight?
I'd like to try it
Even if it's just for tonight, Cinderella boy
(🎵 Do you wanna dance tonight? 🎵)
You need to learn more about dating
(🎵 Do you wanna hold me tight? 🎵)
You're trying a little too hard to impress me, Cinderella boy
(🎵 Do you wanna dance tonight? 🎵)
Dancing in your silver shoes...
(🎵 Do you wanna hold me tight? 🎵)
 
You said "I love you" or whatever...
Yet you don't even hug me
It's a beautiful night with mysterious looking moonlight
You shoot seductive beams right into my eyes
With just the two of us...
I want to fly to the paradise
Even if it's just for tonight, Cinderella boy
(🎵 Do you wanna dance tonight? 🎵)
Listen to the beat of my burning heart
(🎵 Do you wanna hold me tight? 🎵)
Cinderella boy in a shiny sequin suit...
(🎵 Do you wanna dance tonight? 🎵)
You open up the door of the dream world
(🎵 Do you wanna hold me tight? 🎵)
 
Leaving a series of sighs into the night sky...
Dancing in rhythmic steps
Let me feel it...
Even if it's just for tonight, Cinderella boy
(🎵 Do you wanna dance tonight? 🎵)
Be more romantic
(🎵 Do you wanna hold me tight? 🎵)
 
Can you see...
The red sparks flying in my heart?
More...! (I love you)
More...! (I need you)
More...! (I want you)
Listen to the beat of my burning heart
(🎵 Do you wanna hold me tight? 🎵)

Trying to hold her laughter and finish this song while being teased non-stop by comedians:

This song is so catchy, it's still good in modern standard and isn't feel outdated.

And the most interesting video:

Idols vacation in Hawaii, 1987 with star-studded rosters.

video with youtube id tcXQEqpB2C4 was removed automatically due to unavailability

The cast members include: Oginome Yoko, Nakamori Akina, Kyon2, Nakayama Miho, Kikuchi Momoko, two other top idols: Kakusho Sayuri (ex Onyanko Club member, has some Oricon #1 ranked songs) and Nishimura Tomomi (has some Oricon #2 and #3 ranked songs). Then the male idols: Matchy (Kondo Masahiko, was Akina's boyfriend back then, has 16 Oricon #1 ranked songs and performed 10 times in Kohaku), Toshi (Tahara Toshihiko, has 11 Oricon #1 ranked songs and performed 7 times in Kohaku. Toshi and Macthy were like male idols equivalence of Seiko and Akina in 1980s), and a boyband trio called: "Shibugakitai" (they have perfomed 5 times in Kohaku). Too bad there's no Hayami Yuu even though that's in Hawaii. 

The video is 50 minutes long, if it's too long, i'll just write up the summary. The video includes scene of each of them enter the other's hotel room with master key (like in the thumbnail) and give them a surprise wakeup with cameras all around while the target was still in pajama and sleepy face without makeup (Akina wakes Matchy, Matchy wakes Oginome, Oginome wakes Toshi, Toshi wakes Miho, Miho wakes Shibugakitai, Shibugakitai wakes Momoko, Momoko wakes Tomomi, Tomomi wakes Sayuri, Sayuri wakes Kyon2, Kyon2 wakes a comedian or something), And then there scenes where they play games, fishing on the boat, outdoor dinner, playing golf... with each female idols sing a song in between in a style like they're shooting MV with Hawaii scenery on the background.

Also, before Yoko's debut, Keiko Oginome was already famous as an actress. Despite she didn't pursuit a musical career, she performed once in Yoru no hit Studio (Her only song "Ai no aurora" was the theme song of her movie "Nankyoku Monogatari")

And this was Yoko's first performance in Yoru no hit studio, a year later, with her debut "Mirai Koukai"
