Bro you should change title from j pop boy band to j pop gentlemen band

 

[flatearther]

Bro you should change title from j pop boy band to j pop gentlemen band

But according to:

wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_band
"A boy band (or boyband) is loosely defined as a vocal group consisting of young male singers, usually in their teenage years or in their twenties at the time of formation, singing love songs marketed towards young females."

And all the members of Anzen Chitai were in their 20s when they debuted in the early 1980s, right?

By the way, my top three favourite male J-pop/rock groups all debuted in the late 1980s or early 1990s, so you might not have even heard of them:

At the moment, this has become my new favourite Anzen Chitai song. :o

And in my opinion, it sounds even better when sung by a woman with a high-pitched singing voice; for example:

[flatearther]

Yup. The 3 I never heard of whereas chage and aska is more internationally known.

The two members of the duo also share the same birth year, 1958, with the lead singer of Anzen Chitai:
