A quote from Hikari Hinobefore JMFEST JYOU:

“I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to perform in places where most people don't understand Japanese… when we perform in places as far away as Europe or Canada, we will probably get even more fired up.”

Today's #TuneTuesday theme is #SteppingStonesSongs (or #SteppingStoneSongs) - songs that introduce you to a specific (sub(sub(sub)))genre of music.

This will require a bit more thought than "throwing something up right before I head to work" so to start, I will toss out for #AniSong specifically--anime theme songs, which are usually their own takes within and around #JPop or #JRock or otherwise.

And the one that looms largest for me is "Konya we Hurricane"
from Bubblegum Crisis (1987) - by Kinuko Oomori

It does a marvelous job linking "the MTV Generation" to anime, including titillation and action and sci-fi horror aspects in the opening scenes of BGC, and a fully 80's-captured style in the music video.
