![]() keep in mind this is the japanese music market forcing them to churn out high rates of albums. they really hit their stride on the 5th album immigration. show-ya's earlier works did have a jem here and there that foreshadowed the heavier sound they would adopt. They got their start in the early 80s as almost a pop rock band and competed directly with another all female group called princess princess. their early influences were inspired by deep purple, the doors, the beatles and the like. One of the biggest and most well known all female hard rock/heavy metal groups in japan. another of my favorite japanese bands i have been listening to since the 90s We are talking 1999 here and still she always struck me as akin to Haruka from FuriCuri(maybe it was the nurse outfit for that music video). i only got her first 3 "solo" albums and kind of lost interest after that as i am primarily a rock/metal guy and she started working on other music styles. One of these that i am now listening to is sheena ringo. Over the years before youtube and many internet assets to check out new bands i picked up a smattering of japanese bands from the well known like anthem, to the less well known like fatima hill. they also have a great sense of humor (the life and times of a bonus track comes to mind). vain glory opera was the first album i picked up and i have been a fan ever since. i remember when i got hooked on his original band with the funny name "edguy" back in the late 90s when they were fresh out of high school and were told "nobody wanted to listen to that kind of music". Tobias Sammets avantasia is always a good choice.
