The 80's metal band Loudness did pretty well in America, they had 2 albums in the billboard top 100. They are the only Japanese musicians so ever do that if my information is correct.

WEAK.. very weak.. no matter what kind of female band or where they're from.. Heard they were "supposed to be pretty good"...WHAT A LET DOWN!!! They make other female bad bands look REALLY good! And can't even come close to competing with any male bands...NOT even the bad ones!!! =)

HAHA! LOL! Thanks for the laugh! You are THE MORON with your lame comment! U must work for Keiko! lol! I'm sure A. Johns liked the musicians WHO ARE GREAT! But you- not knowing the music industry obviously- are SO NAIVE to not know how many people back then were happy TO TAKE ALL THE JAPANESE MONEY they were throwing around- to work with bands like Show-Ya! lol! If A. Johns was so into them, then he could've gotten them an American/Int'l. record deal which he obviously DIDN'T and COULDN'T! lol!
That's because the west isn't truly ready for Japanese or any music from Pacific/Asia region yet. Did you ever think about that?
Not even Utada Hikaru a famous pop singer from the late 90s-now, could barely break the Top 100 charts for more than a week. With her all English album! Imagine how much harder it would be in the 1980s to impress anyone on the street to love their music. Look at what happened to Pink Lady! LOL
You really know little about this. Everyone is right about you!
NO-YOU (Hi Keiko!) KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE MUSIC WORLD OUTSIDE OF JAPAN! & there are MANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS FROM ALL OVER! Keiko writes her own positive comments under ALL THESE ALIAS YOUTUBE NAMES!Keiko's SO DEFENSIVE ABOUT HERSELF AND ANYTHING THAT PERSONALLY RELATES TO HER even though her band is being praised! Her insecurity and jealousy about her own band members prevents her/you from accepting and appreciating compliments about the band! PITIFUL! & SO EGOTISTICAL OF YOU KEIKO! Shame on you!

P.S. I don't know one single person in L.A. or ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. that knows who Show-Ya is, if you think they're famous or well-known! LOL! You're lucky I even heard of them! & anyone can write their own WIKI, which certainly Keiko did, so which means nothing! Show-Ya is NOT associated with Vixen or Lita Ford WHO ARE "REAL" INTERNATIONAL FEMALE ROCK STARS! & "IF" Andy Johns was so into Show-Ya, he could have gotten a record deal for them in the U.S. or UK, which he didn't! It was money baby!
OK troll, you believe whatever you want. Now that you look like an ass...No one is "lucky" at all that you heard of them. You really are dumb if you think she or someone else did a biased WIki for them.
I know people who listen to Show-Ya (in the US). The concert was in 1990 moron, its almost been 20 years. Of course they aren't well known in the US. Japanese music is not loved by the masses abroad. Look at X-Japan or Luna Sea. Or the 80s musicians you mentioned. They are good but not famous.
Look at any extremely famous Japanese singer. Pick anyone! Not one of them is going to become famous abroad. Most westerners aren't ready for Japanese artists yet. Maybe one day. Since you know nothing about this topic I'm gonna stop now and let you spam whatever comments. But I've seen your other posts about Show-Ya. Now I know why no one likes you. You're just plain stupid. It's obvious you don't like the band so stop bitching.

They are NOT famous anywhere other than somewhat on a small level in Japan- a limited market- and that's if people can still remember these "older" ladies who are well past their prime! But I admit THE MUSICIANS ARE AWESOME! Just too bad that this singer was so limited and mediocre and not up to par with the band, which held them back from becoming a bigger success. The band made Keiko! She needs them! She couldn't succeed as a solo artist, like Mari Hamada, Ann Lewis, and all the others...
The band got its big break in '82 until '91. They also had their 20th anniversary reunion and now are playing again live at large venues. Tarada Keiko is just as important as the rest of the band.
In the 80's, their music was more well known than you think. It was limited but, considering Japan is the 2nd largest consumer of music in the world... Oh, and Show-Ya never wanted to become "mainstream" like the 80's rock singers (though good) you listed. That's why Show-Ya broke up in the 90's.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
BUT Show-Ya started as a "mainstream" bubblegum J-Pop band (look at the early-mid 80's videos!) & was NOT a rock band!They were not even acknowledged or included in their own Japanese Rock Magazines like how Loudness, VowWow, ETC, along with female rockers Mari Hamada & Steffanie all were!Then after they broke up, Keiko became a "mainstream" solo singer but didn't have much success like Ann, Mari, or any of the major female stars, so she needed the reunion & to have the band back- who made her!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh, and one more thing... I disagree...Tarada Keiko is not as important as the rest of the band. THE BAND MAKES HER. THAT'S WHY SHE NEEDED THEM BACK TO HAVE A CAREER AGAIN. This band is so hot, they could move to other countries and work with an array of other singers, and be successful wherever they go! As for Keiko, she could not. She is limited to Japan, and still NEEDS THE BAND to have some success!
You are just simply trolling now. BTW, it was their 20th anniversary, that is why they got back together. Your usage of "mainstream" is purely subjective. That is the problem. Because now you have insulted the entire band by stating they are not worthy of their rock status. On top of it, you don't even acknowledge they played in LA in 1990 in front of Americans or their historical trip to North Korea.
Since you have such a grudge against her I hope you don't come around here anymore. Move on!
On top of it its the year 2009 and plenty of people here outside of Japan know of Show-Ya so I think that is extremely impressive. I've seen plenty of positive English comments. Just you're negative.

In 1987, the band was approached by producer Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones) who requested to work with the band. Relocating to the United States, this collaboration led to the albums Immigration and Glamour being recorded. Show-Ya became associated with Vixen, and Lita Ford.
