Product Description
In the 1950s and 60s, good looking young singers of kayoukyoku became popular among young audiences. In the 1970s, kayokyoku singers became younger and younger and the term 'idol', meaning young, good looking singers became widely used. By the late 70s, young teen singers debuted one after another. Magazines became very important to spread information about them. Usually 'idols' don't have to be well trained musically, image is everything, and great studio musicians, composers, producers etc..are brought in. Therefore they are more artificial than conventional 'pop stars'.
