Headphones recommended! Angie Gold Vs Yoko Oginome / Eat You Up Original Extended Ver. REMIX! "Eat You Up" is a song by British singer-songwriter Angie Gold, with lyrics by Gold and Anthony Baker, and released in 1985 by Passion Records. It was written by Gold and Anthony Baker and produced by Les Hunt. The single reached number 30 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs. It had more success in Japan, where it was titled "Suteki na Hi-Energy Boy" (Lovely High Energy Boy) and topped the Oricon charts for four consecutive weeks. The song has also been adopted in several languages ​​by other artists in Japan, Hong Kong, and Korea. Gold later re-recorded the song with producer Ian Levine for the 1995 compilation album The Best of Angie Gold: Eat You Up. "Dancing Hero (Eat You Up)" is Yoko Oginome's seventh single, released on November 21, 1985. The choreography for both the 1985 and 2014 versions was by Toru Miura. The original song was "Eat You Up" (Japanese title: "Wonderful High Energy Boy"), a worldwide hit released in 1985 by British singer Angie Gold. The melody was a classic disco sound at the time. The title of the Oginome version was considered to be "Cinderella Boy" based on the lyrics of the chorus, but "Dancing Hero" was decided by Tetsuo Taira, president of Rising Productions, to which Oginome belongs. For this song, Oginome won the Nippon TV Idol Award at the 12th Nippon TV Music Festival, the Best Idol Award at the 12th Anata ga Eru All Japan Kayo Music Festival, and the Cable Music Award at the 19th Nippon Cable Awards. The song also made her first appearance at the 37th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen. The song's huge success catapulted Oginome to the top of the idol world. On the TV show Tonneruzu no Minasan no Okagesu Desu, Oginome was a regular in the skit "Binbou-ya no Hitobito," in which Ishibashi Takaaki would sing the opening and Kinashi Noritake would stop him with a violent retort. The music video, produced in 2014, used the choreography from the skit, with the permission of Tonneruzu. Comedian Hirano Nora has frequently used this song as an introductory theme on TV shows since she became famous in 2015 with her comedy about office ladies from the bubble era. In an interview at the time, she also cited it as one of her favorite 1980s music. In 2017, the Osaka Prefectural Tomioka High School Dance Club used the song in a suite for a contest, which brought the song back into the spotlight, and in December, a special single called "Dancing Hero The Archives" was released, which included 15 different versions of the song (more on this later). According to choreographer Toru Miura, the unique steps shown in the intro and interlude were inspired by Madonna. Chart results: Oginome also made it into the top 10 of the Oricon weekly chart for the first time since her debut as a singer. The following year, in 1986, it was ranked 12th on the annual chart, and was the only single to sell more than 300,000 copies (320,000 copies in total). It became Oginome's biggest hit. It has sold 700,000 copies (official sales). It first appeared on TBS's "The Best Ten" in December 1985 in "This Week's Spotlight," and was the first to make it into the top 10 in 1986 (it first appeared on January 9, 1986, at 9th place). Its highest ranking rose to No. 2 (February 6, 1986), and it stayed there for a total of nine weeks. Cultural influence It was released as an idol song, but because it was dance music, a culture different from the sales strategy was later formed. Established as a Bon Odori song It began to spread as a Bon Odori song in Aichi Prefecture (northern Owari: Konan City, Iwakura City, etc.) and Gifu Prefecture (around Minokamo City) from the late 1990s, and gradually it was adopted at Bon Odori festivals in the metropolitan area (Chuo Ward and Kiyose City, Tokyo, etc.). In addition to the oldest choreography devised in 1986 by Toyotoshi Shimada II, then chairman of the Japanese Folk Dance Research Association in Nagoya, there are several choreographies for the general dance. On December 21, 2016, the Oginome version was included as a coupling song on the general dance CD "Dancing December" by folk singer Masao Suzuki II and others.
