F.U.N. Akina
It is a travesty that the image of Akina is usually linked with sadness because the media prefers to to focus on her “dramas”, ignoring the fact that she can actually be a very fun person.
She is one of the few singers I know (besides 河合奈保子) that can be seen happily singing along to songs of her peers while watching or dancing in the background. I chanced upon these two videos yesterday on Youtube and I just couldn’t wait to share it with all of you because she is having so much fun! I felt so happy watching her singing, dancing and executing some “so bad it’s good” moves with some of my favourite 80′s pop idols.
These days will never resurface again … sadly … but thankfully, we have these memories to exhibit the “recklessness” and fun of youth. Hope you have as much fun watching as I did. This is definitely one of the most fun I have seen Akina had. Those old glory days … Oh! And I forgot to add that she looks so beautiful too.
Slow Motion
Interesting clip which showed her short rehearsal (probably) and then the actual performance. This was probably before the single was released. Beautiful.

Those Good O’l Days
When I first saw the heading on Youtube, I was exhilarated. Three singers that I admire, but then after watching the video performance, which highlights the varying styles and pitches of all three and less than perfect harmony, I can’t stop smiling because of the apparent fun they are all having. 研ナオコ seems to be following a style of off-key singing which is her signature and since they are Anri’s songs, I had no idea her pitch was that high until I watched this. Akina is strangely in a hilarious and "pushy" mood, and you have to watch it to see.
Some of their combined chorus are rather bad, but who cares, we will never see these scenes of youthful "recklessness" again. Note: Watch out for the really horrible leotard that one of the dancers spots. Hope you will enjoy this mish mash as much as I did.
Oh No! Oh Yes! Akina vs Anita

Akina’s 「喝采」
I mentioned before that Akina covered ちあきなおみ’ｓ 「喝采」. Out of respect for the site owner, I will only enclose the link to the site. There are a few videos that you can save the link (not the video) and then click "open" to play the videos:

This is the particular link for 「喝采」. I think it is going to win quite a few votes after watching this:
