In my opinion, they were ahead of their time. The instrumental arrangements (not to mention the sound effects), their singing and their dance still holds strong today. Amazing. I simply love it!
Pink Lady had their own TV show on NBC in early 1980 and it lasted for six weeks, though, in some places, it had been yanked after four or five because of poor ratings I suspect. However, Mie and Kei were seen on U.S. television a year earlier in 1979 on the Leif Garrett special where they sang "Kiss in the Dark", their lone all-English single.
LOL....I was looking for this!!!! OMGarsh...too funny!!!! I used to watch this also even it did only last 5 weeks I think. The show was known as Pink Lady...and Jeff. I remember it cause I was a Leif Garrett fan and I think he was either the first guest or had something to do with them coming to the states. I could be wrong on that tho. Anyway...thanks for posting!!!
They actually had their own show here in the USA for a while back in 1977. I watched it every week and swore that I would meet and marry these ladies someday. LOL!
to this very day, they are still entertaining to watch. They were in the U.S. about two years and then they were gone. however, there was something about their presence that impressed me to never forget Namoto-sama and Keiko-sama. I will always love both of you.
i was 5yrs old in japan when this song came out!!! the pink ladies were my fave band! i bought a handkerchief with their faces on it and tied it to my pink bike. yeay!!! thanks for posting this
This is video is really modern. I posted it on FB and on Twitter. I saw Lady GaGa wearing a similar costume this year, 2010. Also the beginning of this song maybe the original for Kill Bill sound track. Very future forward, indeed
@zelia721s I imagine there are quite a few Americans born after 1977 who know this song only do so because of said immersion camp. (Myself included ;-P).
Best use of hands as a "prop" in a pop song performance right after Kanai Katsuko's 1973 mega smash hit "Tanin No Kankei." I can NOT believe this song is 30 years old!!
Mie had the best legs in the business.

One of the problems with the series, is that the producers weren't told until the ladies got here, that they didn't speak a word of English lol

At the Japanese immersion camp I went to in Minnesota we did our morning exercises to this song. With a dance very similar to this.
