Looks like there is a new #ShowYa YT channel?
https://www.youtube.com/@SHOWYA/featured
I noticed this here in Japan. I thought it's not available outside? But I checked via my SSH tunnel out to Vancouver, Canada: the channel and vids load.
Damerna i hårdrocksbandet Show-Ya som bildades 1981 är nu alla 60+ men fortfarande väldigt aktiva och en viktig drivande kraft för den fantastiska japanska rockscen vi ser idag med en uppsjö rock & metalband som håller extremt hög musikalisk nivå.
Betydelsen av deras årliga festival för kvinnliga musiker, Naon no Yaon kan inte överskattas då mängder av idag etablerade musiker & band fått skjuts därifrån. Här spelar de i regnet 2022 #ShowYa #Jmetal #hårdrock #heavymetal

#Japanese with English subs.
Three young #Guitar women talk about how they each discovered Show-Ya, and their experiences and stories about meeting and working with Show-Ya band members.
The trio stick to the Show-Ya topic from start to finish, never making the video about themselves or promoting their own bands and music. Just great; a real treat for Show-Ya fanatics.
When the Japanese all-female band #ShowYa was in hiatus in the late 1990's, guitarist Miki "Sun-Go" Igarashi kept busy. One thing she did was joining some guys for a project/band called Blind Pig, circa 2000, supplying the#Guitar work.
You can listen to the eponymous album on the Japanese site Nicovideo.

There is a Blind PIg II follow-up from 2002; check side bar.

All right, everyone. Pop Quiz time.
What do these two Showa era #Japanese tunes have in common?
