Music video description

Mary Sandeman is the real name of a Scottish singer nicknamed Aneka. Her musical career was quite short and lasted only six years during which she released only one album with the all-talking title Aneka. This lady can definitely be put into our musical category of One Hit Star as she has only one well-known hit, a hit that went down in history. And it is this hit that I would like to present to you in today's post, it is about Aneka 's music video - Japanese Boy from 1981. Sandeman was originally supposed to sing this song under her real name, but the record label and producers found that it didn't fit the song and, looking through the phone book together, chose the pseudonym Aneka. In addition, the singer herself dressed up in Japanese style for the music video to further complete the image to match the song itself. She didn't expect at the time that the image would stick to her so much. Perhaps no one expected such success and such a hit, the song Japanese Boy climbed to the top of the charts in Europe and beyond. Interestingly, in Japan the song did not gain popularity because "the melody was Chinese." I invite you to watch the music video of Aneka - Japanese Boy and thank Przemek for reminding me of this hit.
