I was too young to go out during the 80s. But I know the music very well (thanks to older siblings). The 80s to me is one of the most culturally creative decades. 80s children grew up in the shadow of the cold war, thinking USSR will nuke the entire world. We grew up listening to American Top 40 hosted by Cassey Kasem then Shadow Stevens, we waited for the latest Madonna/Michael Jackson MTVs, watched all the HK Jackie chan/vampire/Aces go places movies, dubbed Japanese drama serials (Oshin, ninjaboy)... We were termed the 'latchkey children' who got educated by imported pop culture, not by our parents.

Lots of Singaporean students were learning Japanese back in the 80s. It was the strongest Asian country back then - economic and cultural leader. Who could have predicted them to decline so fast in the last 30 years?
Now young Sinkies are learning Korean.
Bro. What about Solid Gold? I was in primary school then. So too young to chiong outside. I remember my father likes to watch Solid Gold on tv. Thats how i got my 80s music.

I recall back in the early 80s, there was a radio programme on 90.5FM that played Japanese hits for 1 hour from 8pm right after the hourly news in brief. I will always eagerly tuned in then on my small mono radio as couldn't afford a stereo set then. Musical impressions from the annual Japan Red and White Music Festival (or was it competition) were what led me to listen in. I think the programme was hosted by a Chew Swee Lian?
