Claiming the Throne: Show-Ya’s Sophomore Album ‘Queendom’ (WTP-90387)
Today we revisit the influential all-female Japanese hard rock band Show-Ya, focusing on their second studio album, “Queendom,” released on the Eastworld label (Toshiba EMI) with the catalog number WTP-90387.
Issued in 1986, this 12-inch vinyl LP followed their successful debut, “Masquerade Show.” “Queendom” finds Show-Ya confidently building upon their initial impact, further establishing their powerful presence in the Japanese rock scene.
The album showcases the band solidifying their signature blend of hard rock energy and strong melodic sensibilities. Listeners can expect the polished yet powerful sound characteristic of major label 80s rock: commanding lead vocals, skillful guitar work featuring both driving riffs and memorable solos, atmospheric keyboards, and a tight, dynamic rhythm section. “Queendom” represents the band honing their songwriting craft and delivering another collection of high-energy, anthemic rock tracks.
WTP-90387 captures Show-Ya consolidating their power and proving they were a force to be reckoned with. “Queendom” stands as a strong sophomore effort, essential for understanding the band’s development and appreciating their contribution to 80s Japanese hard rock.
