Shanadoo fans may not have heard the original version of their song "Japanese Boy". Today i am posting the single here at Luckystar. The song was originally a UK No.1 hit single by Scottish singer Aneka, released in 1981. The song became her biggest hit and provided the singer with a memorable Japanese image. The song was released on 7" and as an extended 12" version and featured on Aneka's debut - and only - album, released later in 1981. "Japanese Boy" sold almost half a million copies in the UK, making it one of the best-selling singles of 1981. The song went on to sell over 5 million copies world-wide.
Track Listing:
01. Japanese Boy
02. A Fond Kiss (B-Side)

Japanese Boy as performed at TOTP in 1981.
Shanadoo is a Japanese Eurodance group produced in Germany. The majority of their recorded works have been Japanese covers of a German dance act, E-Rotic. In 2007 they released a cover of the 1982 Aneka #1 UK Single "Japanese Boy" in Europe. The song maintained the Japanese feel of the song but included heavy dance beats giving the song a brand new leash of life. The single also includes 2 excellent remixes and a brilliant B-Side called "Sayonara Blue".
