A Celebration of Japan’s Metal Queen: Mari Hamada’s “Inclination”
Mari Hamada is an undisputed icon of Japanese rock music, a pioneering vocalist who brought powerful, melodic heavy metal and hard rock to the mainstream charts. Her “Inclination” series of compilation albums serves as a perfect chronicle of her incredible, multi-decade career. We are looking at one of these essential collections, likely the first volume, released with the catalog number MVCD-42001.
Released to commemorate a significant anniversary in her career (often the 10th or later milestones), “Inclination” is a meticulously curated journey through Mari Hamada’s most important and beloved songs from a specific era, usually her incredibly successful initial run in the 1980s. This album is packed with the high-energy anthems, powerful ballads, and sophisticated hard rock tracks that made her a superstar.
This is the sound that defined an era of Japanese rock. It features Hamada’s astonishing vocal range and power – a voice that could effortlessly shift from soaring, melodic highs to gritty, powerful rock delivery. The compilation showcases her evolution as an artist, featuring massive hits like “Return to Myself,” “Blue Revolution,” and many other fan favorites, all demonstrating her unique blend of hard rock intensity and J-Pop accessibility.
“Inclination” is more than just a greatest hits package; it’s a testament to the enduring talent and influence of one of Japan’s most important female rock artists. For any fan of Japanese rock, 80s hard rock, or powerful female vocalists, this collection is an absolutely essential starting point or a perfect career retrospective. You can find this album on our website.
