A pivotal single that marked a new era for Japanese rock vocalist Mari Hamada is the focus for this entry: her 1985 7-inch single, “Blue Revolution.” Released on October 21, 1985, via the Invitation label (Victor), this 45 RPM vinyl (catalog number VIHX-1673) served as the lead single for her fifth album of the same name.
This release features two tracks:
A: Blue Revolution
B: Heartless Woman
The A-side, “Blue Revolution,” is a powerful, driving anthem. It perfectly captures her transition from pure heavy metal to a more polished, melodic hard rock sound, showcasing her incredible vocals over a catchy, high-energy arrangement. The song was co-written by Hiroaki Matsuzawa (Make-Up) and Yogo Kohno.
The B-side, “Heartless Woman,” is particularly noteworthy for collectors as it was a non-album track, not included on the “Blue Revolution” LP. This makes the single an essential purchase for fans wanting the complete discography from this era.
VIHX-1673 stands as a landmark single, launching one of Hamada’s most successful albums and featuring a sought-after exclusive B-side.
