This is the new ending theme for the animation "NANA". Every songs used for this animation "NANA" are great, and I always enjoy them. This "Black Tears" is a ballad, and different from "Rose", but it really suits Black Stones. The second song, "JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH"is used for the TV commercial of NISSAN MARCH (Car commercial), so maybe some of you listened to it. The deep sadness version of "Black Tears" is really cool and gorgeous.

When I was arranging the things in my closet last year, I found many old LPs and EPs.
Wham! and many more pop artists I liked before ...
Sheena Easton, Susan Anton who appeared in the TV commercial of Cameria Diamond, Duran Duran, A-ha, Pat Benatar, Bryan Adams, Heart, Starship, Arabesque ... I listened to many artists.
Here is the soundtracks and the aid albums.
Dance movie was popular at that time ... "Flashdance" or "Footloose".
And the aid albums ... Band Aid with British artists, USA for Africa with American artists, and Hear N' Aid which Ronnie James Dio formed with hard rock / heavy metal artists. There were many popular artists which played for those albums.
My idol in Japan at that time was Pink Lady and Candies. I always danced like them. I still remember their dance.
There are many rock LPs/EPs. John Norum who was the reason why I started playing the guitar, Yngwie Malmsteen, Foreigner, Survivor, Heart, Cinderella, White Lion, etc. I also liked Loverboy.
And Bon Jovi and Europe ... Bon Jovi made a big hit with their third album in 1987, but I've loved them since their debut, and the first album I bought of theirs was their second album. At that time there was nobody who knew them. I talked about them to my friend, she said "It's French?" Now everybody knows them. About both Bon Jovi and Europe, I like their second album a lot.
Lion's "Dangerous Attraction" ... it's the old band of Doug Aldrich I'm especially supporting. I bought it as CD too later. This LP is my precious one.
It's been 20 years since I bought this album ... time goes by very fast.
