A dive into the 1984 Japanese heavy metal scene brings us to the debut EP from the Osaka-based band Majoran. This entry focuses on their self-titled 12-inch EP, released on May 21, 1984, via the major label CBS/Sony with the catalog number 14AH 1736.
This 45 RPM EP served as the introduction for Majoran, a band notable for being fronted by female vocalist Mizzy (Mizue Tanaka). Emerging from the vibrant Kansai (Osaka) metal scene onto a major label was a significant achievement.
The release features four tracks that showcase their brand of 80s heavy metal:
A1: We Are Majoran
A2: Catch Love
B1: Shaky
B2: Afraid Mind
As a female-fronted heavy metal band debuting on a major label in the early 80s, Majoran was part of a pioneering wave. This EP captures their powerful sound and vocal talent, making 14AH 1736 a significant release for collectors of classic J-Metal and enthusiasts of female-fronted rock bands from that era.
