And now all the idols from my translation series before already have 4 songs each. Let's move to the next segment: "Honorary Mention". There's still a lot of idols I couldn't brought out because there simply wasn't enough room to cram all of them into 100 songs, so now is the time to translate their songs. For the 1970's part, I'll translate the songs of 2-3 idols. For the 1980's part, there would be a lot more; a mix of top idols and mid-level idols. I'll even see if there's some small time idols / failed idols / not popular idols who have good song, then maybe I'll translate that too.
Coming up next...
But before that, check out the "collection" page I just finished, where I put all the idols I have translated so far into a list, each with video of their signature song. Idols from "honorary mention" will be put there too one by one. Check it out here:

Even those are already more than enough. Thank you very much. So many song titles are hidden in their lyrics.
Released in December 31, 1992, this song reached #19 in Oricon chart with 80,040 sales.
Just like other Mi-Ke songs, I guess it also has a lot of vintage song titles hidden among the lyrics.
Mi-Ke sang this song in Kohaku Uta Gassen 1992. The fun fact is that this song was released in December 31 1992. So, maybe their performance in Kohaku Uta Gassen that night was the first time they sang this song.
Their live performance:
I can't find other live performance of this song, but there's this video of Mi-Ke singing medley of their songs, including this song:
^ they started singing this song at 5:27
Mi-Ke have a short but successful career. They formed in 1991 and disbanded in 1993. In that short years, they have appeared two times in Kohaku Uta Gassen, won some awards, and all of 11 main singles they released were all used as soundtracks for dramas, tv shows, and advertisements.
