🇯🇵Japan · 1970 Year-End Top 10

1970

By 1970, the Group Sounds boom had faded and Japan's music scene diversified into enka, folk, and early New Music. The year's #1 hit 'Kuro Neko no Tango' was a children's song adapted from an Italian original, reflecting Japan's cultural exchange with Europe. Comedy group The Drifters scored big, while enka singer Fujii Keiko placed two songs in the top five.
