Product Description
By the 1970s, kayokyoku singers had become younger and younger and the term 'idol' became widely used for such singers. These were young, good-looking singers, and by the late 70s a never-ending succession of teenage singers appeared one after another. Generally speaking, 'idols' don't necessarily have musical talent, their fans not caring about such a minor detail. The image and presence is what counts. High quality studio musicians, composers and producers are usually employed to compensate for whatever talent the idol is lacking. Their success or not, is usually linked to their promotion, an idol being little more than a product.
